Still the fastest production car around the ’Ring with a new 6min 29sec time
Cue your best Michael Buffer voice. Because the Mercedes -AMG One… is still the fastest production car to race around the Nürburgring.
AMG has today confirmed the 1,049hp hybrid hypercar managed to beat its own record, set back in 2022, by over six seconds. That makes a ridiculously fast lap time, even more ridiculously fast. Watch:So where in 2022 it recorded a lap time of 6min and 35.183sec around the 20.8km circuit, in 2024, with Maro Engel strapped on board, the AMG One clocked a time of 6min 29.090sec. The original time was already 7sec faster than the 911 GT2 RS Manthey-pack car, not that context is required here.
Which apparently meant a wee bit of lift und coast to prep the drivetrain. For the record run performed on September 23, at the third time of asking, Engel pushed the ‘Give Me Everything’ button . That drops the ride height, engages max aero, full power, a smidge of DRS, and a fair bit of black magic.Of course the AMG One is full of the stuff.
“We’ve held the record for road vehicles for almost two years now,” said Mercedes-AMG CEO Michael Schiebe. “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.”PHOTO BY Mercedes-AMGNOTE: This article first appeared on TopGear.com. Minor edits have been made.
