The Mercedes-AMG ONE hypercar recently set a 6:29.09 minute lap at Nürburgring-Nordschleife, breaking its own 6:35.183 record set back in 2022. Power comes from a turbocharged 1.6-liter V6, paired with four electric motors, that generate a combined 1,049 hp, enabling it to hit 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.
It’s safe to say that the track conditions had to be ideal in order to beat the 6:30-minute target, and September 23, 2024, at 6:56 p.m., just happened to be the time and place to set this new record. Race car driver Maro Engel achieved the new record on his third timed lap that day, with temperatures of 59° Fahrenheit (air) and 68° Fahrenheit (asphalt). Most importantly, the legendary Nordschleife was dry throughout and offered perfect grip.

We’ve held the record for road vehicles for almost two years now. But at AMG, we always want to push the boundaries of what is possible to the maximum or even push them a little further. That’s why we have once again demonstrated what is possible with the unique AMG ONE. The entire team has been rewarded for its efforts and commitment. I’m proud of this determined team effort and of this fantastic record time. Once again, we’ve impressively demonstrated the spirit and expertise of AMG,” said Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes‑AMG GmbH.
