The Mercedes-AMG ONE is one of the most extreme hypercars ever built and the first series-production car with a Formula 1-derived drivetrain. Unveiled in September 2017 as a concept and entering production in 2022, the AMG ONE represents a unique position in modern automotive history: the same 1.6-litre turbo V6 engine as used in the Mercedes-AMG F1 W08 (with which Lewis Hamilton won the 2017 World Championship), combined with four electric motors (one MGU-H, one MGU-K, and two on the front axle) for a combined system output of 1,063 hp. Production is limited to 275 cars worldwide. A Mercedes-AMG ONE is not sold to just any buyer; it is passed on to someone who knows F1-derived hybrid technology and values the unique position of the AMG ONE as a hypercar with direct Formula 1 DNA.
The Mercedes-AMG ONE was unveiled in September 2017 as the Project ONE concept at the IAA in Frankfurt. It was an exceptionally ambitious project: building a road-legal car with a direct Formula 1 Power Unit. For Mercedes-AMG this marked the first time F1 technology was so directly translated to road use. Development took substantially longer than originally planned (production was scheduled for 2019, but ultimately started in 2022) due to the complexity of homologating the F1 engine for road use: cold-start emissions, noise regulations, and reliability at lower revs were significant technical challenges. Production is limited to 275 cars worldwide, with delivery to first owners from late 2022.
The AMG ONE's drivetrain is a direct derivative of the Mercedes-AMG F1 W08 (with which Lewis Hamilton won the 2017 World Championship). The 1.6-litre turbo V6 engine revs to 11,000 rpm redline (comparable to F1) and produces 574 hp. Additionally four electric motors: MGU-H (integrated with the turbo), MGU-K (integrated with the engine), and two electric motors on the front axle producing 163 hp each. Combined system output is 1,063 hp. The engine requires extensive service every 50,000 km, comparable to F1 service schedule, with factory diagnostics at Mercedes-AMG. For collectors this is an important point of attention: service requires factory expertise and cannot be delegated to regular Mercedes-Benz specialists.
The AMG ONE has factory-installed Active Aerodynamics inspired by F1 technology. The system includes an extending rear wing, electronically controlled front spoiler elements, factory-installed Drag Reduction System (DRS, derived from F1), and factory-installed underbody elements. The bodywork is made from carbon with factory-installed scissor doors (a break with AMG tradition but in line with hypercar positioning). The interior is exceptionally minimalist and F1-oriented: factory-installed digital dashboard, factory-installed F1-style steering wheel with integrated buttons, factory-installed bucket seats with factory embroidery. For collectors, proof of working Active Aerodynamics and F1 Power Unit via factory diagnostics is essential.
Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes-AMG's flagship F1 driver, was actively involved in the development of the AMG ONE as ambassador and test driver. Hamilton conducted test sessions at various circuits including the Nürburgring to help develop the car's driving character. For collectors this Hamilton involvement is an important selling context and historical marker. Period photos of Hamilton with the AMG ONE at Mercedes-AMG events reinforce the model's provenance. For specific owner specifications, factory-installed Hamilton signatures or factory documentation of Hamilton involvement were delivered.
The Mercedes-AMG ONE has seen an exceptional valuation curve since launch. The original list price was around 2.7 million Euros. In 2025 the market for well-documented AMG ONE examples sits consistently above that list price, with factory designo and factory-installed Petronas livery specifications in a substantially higher tier. The production numbers (275 cars worldwide) and exceptional F1 DNA make the AMG ONE one of the most valuable modern hypercars. For sellers this means a well-documented AMG ONE with proven Mercedes-AMG service history, original specification, complete factory documentation, and confirmed production number attracts very strong international interest. The buyer you want is a hypercar collector who values the AMG ONE's unique position as a road-legal F1 Power Unit.
The AMG ONE is limited to 275 cars worldwide, delivered from 2022. For collectors early chassis numbers and factory documentation of the production number are crucial. Keep the factory build sheet, factory-installed build plate with production number, and any Mercedes-Benz Classic Center confirmation.
The AMG ONE uses the same 1.6-litre turbo V6 engine as the Mercedes-AMG F1 W08, integrated with four electric motors in a Power Unit configuration derived from Formula 1 technology. Service requires factory diagnostics at Mercedes-AMG; document factory diagnostic report and service history at Mercedes-AMG Performance Center.
For AMG ONE collectors, factory designo colours and factory-installed contrast stripe combinations (Petronas Silver-Turquoise, factory matte specifications) strongly drive price. Factory carbon packs exterior and interior, factory-installed Performance details, and leather specification with factory embroidery substantially reinforce value.
AMG ONE service is exceptionally specialist work due to the Formula 1-derived engine, four electric motors, plug-in hybrid drivetrain, and factory-installed Active Aerodynamics. Service at Mercedes-AMG Performance Center is essential; general Mercedes-Benz specialist service is insufficient for the F1-derived components.
The AMG ONE has factory-installed Active Aerodynamics with extending rear wing, factory-installed front spoiler elements that are electronically controlled, and factory-installed Drag Reduction System (DRS, derived from F1). Document that all factory-installed aero elements are original and fully functional via factory diagnostics.
The drivetrain includes four electric motors: one MGU-H (Motor Generator Unit-Heat) integrated with the turbo, one MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic) integrated with the engine, and two electric motors on the front axle. The system is a direct translation of F1 technology to road-legal use. Document factory diagnostic report on all hybrid components.
Decisive for the AMG ONE, given the exceptional status of the model. Apply via a Mercedes-Benz dealer or Classic Center in Fellbach based on the chassis number. Confirms factory specification, colour, production number, and all factory-installed options. For collectors essentially mandatory for top valuation.
Note: These factors may influence buyer interest. Value depends on many factors.
