Here is the rewritten title: Shattering Records: Mercedes-AMG One Achieves Blistering Nurburgring Time, First Street-Legal Car Under 6:30
Mercedes-AMG One Sets New Nürburgring Lap Record, Blazes Past 6:30 Barrier
The Mercedes-AMG One has made history by becoming the first production car to break the 6:30 barrier at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, shaving off a whopping 5.09 seconds from its previous record time. This incredible feat was achieved on September 23, 2024, with Mercedes DTM driver Maro Engel behind the wheel.
A Perfect Day at the Ring
Track conditions were ideal for the record attempt, with an ambient temperature of 59°F (15°C) and a surface temperature of 68°F (20°C). The asphalt was perfectly dry throughout the nearly 13-mile track, making it the perfect setting for a blistering lap.
The Power of the AMG One
The Mercedes-AMG One’s record-breaking performance is a testament to its incredible power and aerodynamics. With 1,063 horsepower from its Formula 1-derived V6 hybrid powertrain and an F1-style aerodynamic drag reduction system (DRS), the AMG One was able to reach incredible speeds and maintain them throughout the lap.
A New Era in Production Car Racing
The AMG One’s record-breaking lap time marks a new era in production car racing, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with a production vehicle. The Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package was the first production car to break the seven-minute barrier at the Ring in 2013, and it took over a decade for a production car to go half a minute quicker. The AMG One’s achievement is a significant milestone in the history of production car racing.
What’s Next?
While it’s difficult to imagine a production car going significantly faster than the AMG One, it’s only a matter of time before someone breaks this record. The question is, what kind of machine will be required to achieve this feat? One thing is certain – the AMG One has set a new benchmark for production car performance, and the bar has been raised.
