Mercedes-AMG One Breaks Nürburgring Lap Record! | 6:35.183

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.

The driver looks so relaxed, composed. Not having to fight the car much at all. That's the mark of a great chassis + suspension.

[ejbbrads]

280 kph in the foxhole and not even optimal conditions. What a car this is

[GojiraTenno]

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.

[TheOwlinbayern]

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.

[Torashin]

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!!

[ProjectCamper]

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 👍

[oopsioded]

Torque distribution across the gears and suspension looks perfect

[JayZoop]

The suspension, tires, and handling are so perfect you don't notice them. Braking are perfect. All driven perfect!

[adityasen]

for 6 mins i literally held my breath and am at a loss of words
wow just WOW mercedes-amg is the best❤❤❤

[srinitaaigaura]

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.

[OJB]

That is very impressive. Looked under perfect control at all times. Imagine how exciting it would be to do a lap in that thing!

[vibezz]

everyone talks abt the car. the driver is insane

[boussgaming]

Aside from everything mentioned, the sound that engine makes, music to my ears, I can watch this on loop for hours.

[scramble]

Phenomenal drive and finally a Mercedes I can appreciate 👍🏻👍🏻

[resadrecebli]

The competition between this and 992 GT2 RS will be legendary

[dmmness]

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.

[DannoAviation]

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!

[davidsimmons]

Got to see this amazing machine in Stuttgart at the Mercedes Museum!!! It's right in the lobby where you first come in!

[maxheadroom]

unbelievable! the driver looked so relaxed and the roadholding of the Mercedes was out of this world!
