Mercedes-AMG One Breaks Nürburgring Lap Record! |
Mercedes-AMG One Breaks Nürburgring Lap Record: 6:35.183.
Mercedes-Benz revealed Thursday its AMG One supercar has broken the lap record for production cars at the Nürburgring with a lap time of 6:35.183.
The lap was completed on October 28, according to Mercedes. It chose Nürburgring 24-Hour winner and DTM competitor Maro Engel as the driver for the attempt, which took place on a chilly autumn day where parts of the track were not completely dry. Still, the AMG One was able to defeat the former record-holder, the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, by over eight seconds-no small gap.
“That was really an unforgettable experience,” Maro Engel said in a statement. “I didn’t expect that we would be able to set such a lap time with these track conditions. In some crucial areas of the track, it hadn’t dried completely yet and was therefore tricky. That was a special challenge. We tried to find the optimal deployment strategy during the pre-tests. Like Lewis Hamilton and George Russell on their race weekends, I also had to deploy the electrical energy of the hybrid drive in the best possible way. That’s not easy, especially with this length of track. In addition, the DRS function had to be used optimally."
The AMG One is as close to a modern Formula 1 car you can get for the road. Underneath the body sits a drivetrain derived from the one found in the company's F1 cars. That means a mid-mounted, 11,000-rpm turbocharged V-6 engine paired to an electric motor, sending power to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential transmission and a limited-slip differential. There are also two 120-kW electric motors up front, one for each wheel. And don't forget about all the active aero bits along the body.
It's worth mentioning the AMG One's lap was recorded based on the Nürburgring's new style of measuring lap times. The traditional track layout, used prior to 2021, had cars entering and exiting the track at different places, omitting the small straight that comes after Turn 13. Under the Nürburgring's new "official" method of recording lap times, which uses a single start/finish line and includes that small straight, the AMG One set a 6:35 lap time. If you were to go by the old method of recording times, the car would've set a 6:30.705 lap time.

NOTE: The Porsche 919 Hybrid is the official record holder for the fastest car ever on the Nordschleife, but the Mercedes AMG One has the record for the fastest PRODUCTION/Road legal car on the Nordschleife.
Road legal being semantics really. But a great car nonetheless!
This is a Formula 1 car.
The 919 is just on another level. That record made history. The only car that can potentially attack that record is the McMurtry Spéirling.
@@biomorphic LOL, you mean that thing that looks like a kids trainer shoe, horrible thing🤣All this junk needs to be pidgeon holed into their own class...oh, wait, they cant do that because about err, 3 people give a fk LOL....they have to group this "aided" crap into the "ICE" records...or else they have nothing🤣
@@markholroyde9412 that thing is a beast: acceleration and downforce are on another level. And it's road legal, apparently.
The driver looks so relaxed, composed. Not having to fight the car much at all. That's the mark of a great chassis + suspension.
Not to mention the complete lack of tour buses , BMWs with five yahoos all pointing in different directions and Fiats all trying to navigate the wavy sections at once .
Costs like an F1… 😁
@Maciej Jan Długosz it’s more of celebrating vehicle engineering. It’s also a culmination of all the technologies we gathered from F1 and it’s application on the road.
@Maciej Jan Długosz not the case anymore. All GT cars are TC and ABS. Technology is here. If you want real racing watch sprints and dirt racing.
That driver is Maro Engel, long-time Mercedes-AMG factory driver, FIA GT World Cup Champion, Nürburgring 24 hour winner, DTM race winner, Suzuka 10h winner, Macau GT Cup winner. That also is a mark why the cars works that good.
The fact that you can see how wet the roads were make this more impressive. I would love to see another run with optimal conditions.
But when it have rain,the air are cooler and have more oxygen for the engine and it brings more power the cool air! The tires go not so fast to hot,and the akku have not so high hot problems, when the rest part wet street is not in curve,its no problem for the grip! On a hot summer day he cant drive the recorder time!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany
@@r.blacky341 I think the intercooler cools the air sufficiently to not make much difference in power. Fact is, when track is dry, the laptime will be quite a lot better. You have much better traction and any power surplus cold air may bring, is imo negligeable compared to traction gains 🙂
@@r.blacky341 your English isn't perfect but we understand exactly what you mean
And a decent driver.
Good comment. I thought seeing conditions were not the best also. The 919 Porsche that holds the track record (racing car) was done in perfect conditions!
Definitely would love to see this thing on a dry track and in warmer conditions. Felt he lifted off from Bergwerk through Kesselchen, but still absolutely astonishing. Well done Team AMG.
Cold conditions is actually better for the engine it produces more power, so maybe there’s a trade off
@@TheMrbc74 the positive effect for cold weather making slightly more power doesnt compare to the negative effect that the cold and damp have on the tyres, little difference in power a large difference in grip
@@RiceBallHD looks pretty planted through the lap and the odd damp patch is offline, probably only the driver knows if there was more time
Don't you believe I should be the driver for optimal times???? Well?
@@TheMrbc74 I'm absolutely agree with Rhys Andrew. Cold conditions makes a point may be if you're going to have drag race on a straight, but Nordschleife is a track about a lot of corners and good grip is even matter than engine power...
280 kph in the foxhole and not even optimal conditions. What a car this is
still a merc tho
@@adplays7261 what's wrong with that?
@@adplays7261 Yes
@@CAR_NL I’m assuming he’d prefer if it was a car company that only catered to racers lol
@@adplays7261 much better than god know what lemon you drive
The competition between this and 992 GT2 RS will be legendary
Not really. Gt2rs is a supercar. This is a hypercar. Their not in the same league.
@@D4rk34g7e comparing the lap times, they are not THAT far apart tbh... lets wait for a possible 992 GT2 MR or some similar highend package for the current generation. Porsche is moving the bar between hypercar and "normal" sportscar at the moment...
@@Nico_GECOgg Well, the lap time with the AMG One was done in far from optimal conditions, and the AMG would be better suited for smaller GP tracks.
@@D4rk34g7e but the GT2 had the lap record before this, before any other hypercars. It’s definitely in the same league as the AMG
yes as far as laptimes go, they are comparable. on that basis we can also compare the amg with a kitcar like a radical, which is also as quick. nevertheless, one is an ultra high tech limited hypercar. the other a run of the mill gloryfied beetle and costs probably 1/10th of the mercedes.

Your double damper pushrod suspension is genuis. No anti roll bars and so stable. Rides the bumps so well like they aren't there despite being in track mode.
The engine sounded like it was on a leisurely drive, amazing car
Half of the time, recovering energy for electric motor for straight pass... Sound awfull.. Pathetic
Also add the AMG One uses the actual F1 V6 AMG Petronas engine
Cuz it's just leisurely driving.
The suspension, tires, and handling are so perfect you don't notice them. Braking are perfect. All driven perfect!
That is very impressive. Looked under perfect control at all times. Imagine how exciting it would be to do a lap in that thing!
Loving the mechanical grip of the AMG, be great to see it in action on a warm day , stunning achievement, having driven the ring in my Mitsubishi Evo 9 on a closed track you can really appreciate the double apex corners. Brilliant 👍
Torque distribution across the gears and suspension looks perfect
Phenomenal drive and finally a Mercedes I can appreciate 👍🏻👍🏻
Those cornering speeds are absolutely bananas. I keep expecting him to understeer into the wall... especially at the end of the straight! And that's on a greasy track!!
I was watching closely and to me it seemed like he could have pushed it even harder through corners because he never broke tires.
for 6 mins i literally held my breath and was......i am at a loss of words wow just WOW mercedes-amg is the best❤❤❤
Incredible!I believe he could be a little faster ,because the road was a little wet and he slowed down.
I noticed that as well. I think that this car can do at least 5 seconds faster with another driver and with good conditions.
@@justincase9471 with another driver lmao maro is no slouch can hardly blame him for the shitty conditions track was cold and wet and he still beat the previous record by 8 seconds take it easy
more likely the driver intentionally slows down to leave space for next update😂 gotta squeeze the toothpaste once by a little
@@easonchen8591 A lot faster
This was definitely not an all-out lap. But can’t blame him, was a bit shocked when I realized the track was wet in some places. He could definitely do it faster.
Seriously fast set of wheels. Great view of the action.
When you see this video you recognize what kind of a BEAST the 919 evo is. Mad props also to the driver of the Porsche Timo Bernard
Great job guys. I have been waiting to see a new record.
The Pilot is superb, and the car is astonishing.....insane result! What a lap!!!
Driver
@@davetrousers When you are on a track for a hot lap, you are a pilot. That's why they are called Formula 1 pilots. On the road, you are a "driver" "I am going to die as a F1 pilot".....(Ayrton Senna)
Aside from everything mentioned, the sound that engine makes, music to my ears, I can watch this on loop for hours.
That is ridiculous. It does not sound good at all. 4AGE sounds better than this.
It sounds like garbage. Like ball bearings in a washing machine. Impressive machine for sure, but zero soul in that engine mate.
Sounds awful. You want a beautiful sounding engine listen to an Aston Martin V12
This guy never listen to zonda i guess
A lap record on this track is a monumental achievement. This is the longest and most complex track on Earth, plus it has been around for decades. If you can get good at this track, you can get good at any in the world.
Amazing time.. I can definitely see a few corners he can improve on which is crazy. I bet when and if they go back out again, it will be even faster. Very impressive.
@@max.racingThis Track was not wet.
@@max.racing Some parts wet ≠ wet track. If somebody pours a water bottle onto the track, a part of the track is wet, but not the entire track, let alone the racing line. Same analogy here.
The down force on this beauty is amazing 😍 don’t sound to bad in the higher Revs either
It's ugly as sin.
It sounds like garbage tbh.
@@ChuckBeefOG Yes, sounds terrible.
Sounds like it’s annoyed. In a good way.
Who has played GRAN TURISMO on ps1 and is here ?
INSANE driving, hats-off to Mercedes-AMG for this car and the run, I hope others will challange this time.
I definitely don't live in the same world as this guy ! GG and congratulations to the team !
Great Stuff...I have always been a fan of Mercedes! Would have loved to see the top speed on that final straight, though😋
Just insane how quick this car is 🔥🔥
It's can be faster
@@sasak0t Yes, I think it can be.
unbelievable! the driver looked so relaxed and the roadholding of the Mercedes was out of this world!
Got to see this amazing machine in Stuttgart at the Mercedes Museum!!! It's right in the lobby where you first come in!
Junge was für ein Auto 😳😳❤
This gives good context to Stefan Bellof's 1983 6:11 record time. Yes, the track was shorter. However, there were some 35 other cars on the track at the time. It was a practice lap. The Porsche 956 he was driving was a race car, but not nearly as planted as today's cars are. Truly incredible lap from Bellof.
It was the car, not the driver. Its the fact that Porsche makes incredible cars, not that Bellof drove an incredible lap.
then why couldn't any of the other hunderds of 956/962's that ever did the Nurburgring ever match Bellof's time? @@scrapmasterr98
@@scrapmasterr98 LOL yeah sure & I'm the Emperor of China!
Absolutely the most beautiful car ever built and the fastest
wowzers! what a run! congrats to the team
Sounds like supercharged goodness at high revs! Vraiment bien 👏👏
6:56 the way he just eases off the throttle, and as I expected begin to floor it as he was coming out on to the straight. Goodness, that sound is magnificent! What a machine, and a fabulous test driver too. 👏🏽
Waaaa, you actually like that sound? I could point you to a couple of lawn mowers that sound the exact same lmao

What a BEAST.! Driver and One
I’ve watched hundreds of POV drives around the Ring and this is the most insane and fastest one I’ve ever seen!! Wow!! Incredible car and driver!👌🏽🔥🔥🔥
What about 919 Hybrid? kzhead.info/sun/g7Wmg7mAn4JpqJ8/bejne.html

You haven't seen the porsche 919 then LOL kzhead.info/sun/eLFvnt1_jpWOnqs/bejne.html makes this car look slow
@@MKUMBRA Check the comments, we already talked about it :)
I got the distinct impresson that was done well within the capabilities of both car and driver, there's more to come I'm sure.
I agree, in places I was thinking yeah that the lot, then I started watching closer and thought I wonder how much time he has in the car or perhaps it was the weather, it was a great lap but there is quite a lot more to had from him and the car.
Lotus Evija X Prototype Hypercar | 6:24.047 . That had about 2000HP. Those hyper cars really are. AMG Black did close to that for fraction of the cost but damn, engineering masterclass.
"Sorry guys I forgot to hit record"
That is beyond doubt the most ferocious sounding V6 I've ever heard in my life. I wish my F150 had that engine.
No you dont, unless you have specialised crew to maintain this and money for replacing engine after few runs. This is F1 engine its not worth until you are bilionare. There are tons of better engines, that you can go off track and even drive daily, with not so much less performance and without service for every run.
Needs a full engine rebuikd after 50 000km
Check out 1986 V6 F1 engines or 1996 V6 Class-1 touring car engines then, which weren't neutered like today's F1 engines.
Nice one, sector 3 could've been better ( there was a huge lift up) I think one a good summer day it would go even faster, otherwise one of a drive, quite crazy how he sents it in sector 1,2 , actually the whole drive is crazy, before the last corner, that scary slide 😳 Just amazing 😎 #porshe now is you're turn 🏎
Amazing. Good work gentlemen.
Wow unreal! Nicely done!
0:27 Mercedes and their bouncing, a true F1 car for the road xD
lmao i saw that too
It is what it is, its still a benz😅
Its called porpoising, only a benz owner would understand 😏😂
@@anonymebande8561 Where is a car wich is fester than that? (Street legal!)
When it's too hard, then the car handling is more Bad!
You can see through the last quarter of the track, the driver had so much confidence in the car… driving without fear like he almost forgot what car he was driving and was just in complete synchronisation with it… race driver and race car in 100% mind/body connection. Such a smooth lap and that sound is astonishing also, I’ve watched this two times over and I’m going for a third!
LOVE U......YOUR WELCOME. AMG ONE! NOTHING BUT PERFECT RUNS CORNERING. NO LOSS OF TIME.
Such a lovely car and a lovely drive. Well done Maro!
Now I want to see the T.50 lap time
T50 with proper rubber would be insanely quick.
If that happened with a fearless and VERY competent driver it would easily be the new king of the ring. Suction cars are notorious for flinging the car off the road when they lose suction (ie a whole lot of the ring with its bumps and jumps). Driver would need a whole other car to carry his massive sac.
Why T.50? Aston-Martin Valkyrie is much faster!😏
@@SebastianBlix the t.50 would not even come close to this car ok the ring dude
@@SebastianBlix well said! hahahaha Gordon reckons the car has more than 1500kg downforce AT STANDSTILL because of that fan - so I rate it will do very well. I agree about the rubber though - and it's what I wondered about this lap - was this on the normal tyres that these owners are getting too?
On a partly wet track... Crazy!
I think this has earned a truly deserved 'save' in my folder called: "Race!"
the Sound is soo amazing
7:02 at acceleration, the sensation of power it s amazing
Minha nossa, esse carro é um míssel! Parabéns! 🇧🇷
thats quick :) good Job
Ui, das war aufregend! Top!
Глаза восхищаются , уши наслаждаются ! 👏👏👏
Добавлю, мозг кайфует!
Порше улыбается😄
It's interesting. Looks like they preprogrammed the active aero elements specifically for the track layout.
Great insight…thx!
Impresive do to track condition, awesome run💪💪👍👍
Perfect lap
Amazing lap, and it was damp in places 👏👏👏👏
Utterly amazing to see how fast this car is especially how fast it took the carousel. Heilige Scheiße what an incredible driving performance first and foremost
Wahnsinn. Eine echt beeindruckendes Auto und natürlich ein super Fahrer😉👍👍👍
Turn in that corners 150+ kmh it’s crazy , even can’t imagine
Yeah that's an impressive machine. Looked like there was a good amount of room for improvement.
only got 1 minute and 15 seconds to catch the 919's record!
This is the comment i've been looking for.
why would you compare these cars? You can't compare a road car with a modified LMP racecar
Wooow, congr. for the record, but I noticed that AMG One acelerating so so insane!!! 🎉🎉
holy crap that's as perfect as lap as you can get surely
This man is just casually rally launching a hypercar. What a legend
You need to know this track more than your mother, otherwise you gonna get ripped 😅 Nice run, no mistakes, totally focus on the track, amazing skills!
dieser kurs ist so sick!
Very impressive! Will be interesting to see if the Jesko will ever do the run? Would be a battle worth some attention i believe. Still, what an amazing car. And it also looks stunning!
Amg would still have it based on its aero profile. The jesko looks like it would be sloppy through some corners given that its main draw is top speed.
@@ReaperStrain006 I would agree if we look at the Jesko Absolut. Remains to be seen if we are so lucky...
@@ReaperStrain006 im pretty sure the Jesko will beat this with the right driver.
@@ReaperStrain006 The Jesko (I leave out the Attack part cos it's the dumbest name in all of existence to call a car) is a track-focused hypercar. It was built for downforce and speedy corners. So I think that car does stand a chance with the right driver and the right conditions. The Jesko Absolut is the straight line demon. Also, apparently, a GT because of the suspension setup. I think the Jesko stands a chance because I think it will be a lot faster than the AMG ONE in terms of acceleration. I love both brands so I don't really care.
@@spill1t E tron translates to turd in other languages. A Jesko Attack is not really far of from what it is. Especially when Time Attack is a thing
The balance, speed and power of this great machine is so impressive!
Half of the time, recovering energy for electric motor for straight pass... Sound awfull.. Pathetic
Propre ! Bravo.
The best of AMG
wow at one point on the long straight he hit about 208-210 mph wow

Porsche smashed the overall lap record at the Ring with a time of 5:19.55 minutes in a 919 Hybrid Evo
And you can read? It's about street legal cars.
@@YTDE426 street legal means nothing. I can buy a vehicle from a dealership today and put a 2000 hp engine in it and it still street legal so what
@@DurokSubaka There's a clear definition, what "street legal" means. Your example is not street legal. There are many different categories, such as electric vehicles, hybrid cars, suv's...seems like you do not really know much about the Nordschleife timings :)
@@YTDE426 i’m quite aware of what production/street legal means my opinion is it doesn’t matter, they only made a couple hundred of those cars and they only make them so that they can legally say it’s a production vehicle that broke some record or did some event. The clasification is what is in question. Dont talk down to people of what you think they know or dont know it just shows your ignorance.
@@DurokSubaka funny how you talk about ignorance, but just plainly ignore the facts. :-)
Are the aeros on the front fender auto or manually deployed? I can’t figure out at what situation they retract and deploy. However I noticed they were retracted during the long straight at the end.
My favorite track to race on. It's amazing.
I love this track. I believe this track was on Gran Turismo and you've gotta love the complexity.... Such a cool driver, he did so well to keep on it and never got squirrelly.
Amazing driver/car, great lap! What category did he break the lap record? As far as I know the Porsche 919 Evo still has the record at 5:19.55.
Yeah that's what I'm wondering. I'm confused with the different speed records?
It broke the fastest production car record. The Porsche evo isn’t a production car as Porsche doesn’t manufacture them for sale to costumers.
Fastest lap by a street legal car
This track is just so good
just great stuff car and driver under this conditions….massive respect….!!!!
Definitely a crazy technical achievement. However, street legal sounds a bit like a joke considering that the technology behind it is so terribly delicate (at least when top gear wanted to drive it, they tried all day) and they are happy when it actually works properly. You‘ll basically need a whole F1 box crew with you at all times…
Agree. "Production" is a term applied loosly here
2.5million and more for the car that shouldnt be a problem 😅
How is a stretch to call it street legal? It's 100% street legal and has a production run. So what if it's delicate. Almost every supercar north of 250k dollars is delicate.
If it´s street legal in Germany, it´s as street legal as a car can get. And the cars (not the test cars) that they delivered to the customers are completely reliable.
@@Themayseffect Well for most of them, you can still start em up without having a full racing team right behind you...
What next is a $250,000 maintenance fee on the motor
i does not mater. this car wont be driven as a daily. and its sold out. and its only for multi-miliionar. so dont worry Sir. you are safe.
Having seen and heard from Chris Hariss review, every 30k miles, got to send the entire engine for rebuild at a cost of 700k pounds! What a toy for the super rich

That's one of the most unusual sounding upshifts I've heard from a modern hypercar, still produced an amazing lap though. 👏
I've heard it slurs it's shifts (they're not fast) and uses electricity to fill the gap so you'd never notice.
