6:35.183, that's the time it took Mercedes AMG One to complete a lap of the mythical route of Nurburgring. Therefore, the hypercar of the German firm becomes the fastest series car that has ever rolled on the Nordschleife, or at least of which there are records.
In the following video we can see all the action, with a camera focusing on the track and another showing us the pilot's work. Indeed, The person in charge of completing this fantastic lap and smashing the record has been Maro Engel, German pilot with a long career in the star company.
Believe me, it's worth watching the entire lap, which on the other hand goes by very quickly. But the pace is really frenetic, seeming to go on rails, like a roller coaster tracing perfectly between turns and managing each elevation change as if it were a fast-motion video game.
In addition, one important detail must be taken into account. And if we look at the images we see that asphalt is wet in many areas different from the circuit, which makes it very difficult not only to obtain the lap time, but also the confidence and concentration of the driver. Look for example at 3:22 of the video.
Even so, we see that Maro Engel is not cut at all with the Mercedes-AMG One, reaching maximum speeds according to video telemetry over 330 kilometers per hour on the long straight.
Regarding the car, to recall some information, it is a very limited production vehicle, with only 275 units planned. It is a plug-in hybrid, although the power generated by the electrical part is mainly used to improve the performance and performance of the car, not to make it much more efficient. Together we talk about 1.063 maximum horsepower.
