He struck again. It seems as if almighty Mercedes AMG One sets lap records more often than others change their shirts. After taking the crown for the fastest production car at the legendary track last year Nordschleife, so on Red Bull Ringu and on Hockenheimring, can now also enter the fastest lap on the legendary track in the family record book Monza.
Maro engel, factory driver Mercedes-AMG is in a hypercar with a Formula 1 engine for a lap around the track in the royal park of Monza needed 1: 43,902 minutes. According to AMG, this improved the previous record by almost an incredible 12 seconds, which is preceded by time 1: 55,30 minutes imel Porsche RS 911 GT3. The Mercedes One completed the circuit in a road-ready configuration with tyres Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R MO, developed specifically for this electrified beast. Unfortunately, we still don't have a motion picture of this record lap.
The only car we think could challenged by AMG One in terms of lap times, it is Aston Martin Valkyrie, but no record attempt has yet been made by the British. So that Mercedes the flagship remains the king of the racetracks for the time being. It certainly plays a big role in this ultra-complex 1,6-liter turbo V6 engine with four electric motors that achieve system power 1.063 BAM. With this, this athlete achieves many unheard of performances. We remind you: 100 km/h reaches v 2,9 seconds, 200 km/h less than 7 secondsand the top speed is 352 km/h.
The internal combustion engine in the One revs up to 11.000 rpm per minute and it should be done every time 50.000 kilometers completely restore. The question arises, how much of 275 examples produced of this star-studded super athlete will actually ever reach that mileage.
