Just a small correction: all teams had developed the MGU-H in 2014. Mercedes however was the only team to nail the split-turbo MGU-H concept, allowing it to run way more efficiently and cooler, while other manufacturers (RENAULT) were struggling with reliability and heat. That is what they did pioneer, then followed then by Honda and then Renault in 2022 (explaining their current power defecit, basically too limited testing for a new concept.

The engine is based on the 2016 nico rosberg's w05's engine not 2017, The engine is scheduled for an overhaul every 50,000km not 31,000km as stated in the video, which is actually very reliable for a race engine and most million dollar hypercars never come close to that mileage, The cars that had issues on top gear were prototypes with unfinished software, so many more mistakes in this video that i can't be bothered to correct, but those are the most glaring ones.
AMG itself claims on its website that the engine only lasts 31.000km, so he’s right. Rosberg asked AMG to put some parts of his 2016 championship winner engine in the engine of his personal AMG One, but the engine itself comes from almost all the years of the race car production. It’s not an engine taken by an F1 car and put in the One, it’s built from scratch with all the knowledge that AMG got throughout the years in F1, so the concept ad a 2017 engine, but the production cars have an engine with almost all the ultimate tech and improvements, so it could be a 2020/2021 inspired engine too

Mercedes took the worst aspect of modern F1, the engine, and put it in a “road car”. Aston Martin took all the best aspects and married them to a screaming N/A V12.

Just so you know, amg is Mercedes-Benz. AMG got bought out my Mercedes-Benz and now the Origional AMG is using another name, can't remember it at the moment buts it a 3 letter abbreviation.
Their car which is, 1.6cc can record the fastest time in nurburgring.. While my car, which is also 1.6cc, needs to close the air condition switch if it wants to overtake another car🤣🤣🤣
I wouldn't buy one unless they can get the revs back up to at least 13500 rpm. What's the point of using an F1 engine without most of the original power band?
But they dont produce much if any more power over 10,5k in f1 since that is where the fuel flow is. 100kg/h at 10,5k you cant put more fuel in than that so they wont be making much more power than at 10,5k
@@akiro43 huh, I guess you're right about current F1 engines. At 1:59 he says they rev to over 15k, so I figured the power band would be like 12-14.5k, but I looked it up & the power drops off before 12k due to fuel restrictions like you said, so it's not as disappointing as I first thought. Still, if I was in the market for a multi million $ car, I'd rather pick a GMA T.50
@@nathansmith3608 yeah I agree its disappointing when you hear they put an F1 engine in a street car but it is still incredible that they made it work with modern german regulations at all. You just have to look what the manufacturers have to do to normal cars to meet those regulations to see how ridiculous it is. I hope with synthetic fuel in the future they will be able to build cars more like they want to again
This should had been a project back in the V8 regulation, the more balanced config and higher displacement would help the engine to be less volatile and easier to downtune and remap. Though real peak would had been back in the V10 era.
To me, the Mercedes AMG One is the distilled essence of modern German engineering across the board. I used to be heavy into German cars until the excess complexity and unreliability turned me off. I now joke that the German engineers take powerful drugs before they design something. Two million for a car that can barely run consistently is an absolute joke.
@@alvarokoteli3643They aren’t. They are made in Stuttgart, by german engineers. Your shitty bri ish cars are being developed by gay people and Indians.
I'm torn. A handful of overengineered mega-millions track only hypercars that, frankly, look the same as the last hypercar you saw on TV do not interest me. But on the other hand, that is quite a nice bit of engineering to get that terrible engine choice to work in the slightest. I think Ferrari tried this last with the, er, F50 was it? Which was apparently terrible. If you handed me 2mil and put a gun to my head I'd go with the T50 or time travel back to get an F1. Gordon gets it. Without the gun I'd buy a small British sports car with a decent boot and spend the rest of my life with that money driving around the world for giggles.
Not for me. Mind you neither is F1 these days. Maybe I'm too old and unwilling to change but the days of the V10s and V12s were real F1 for me. We seem to have lost so much. This AMG 1 is pretty awful looking, (and sounding), inside and out and personally I'd much rather have a much more comfortable and pretty 'every day supercar' as lets face it the vast majority of pretty much everybody's time behind the wheel is spend not driving and cornering at ludicrous speeds. Take a Pagani Utopia hands down.
F1 V6 engines rev to 11.000 rpm, and turbo motors make their power relatively low in the rpm range (unless the turbo is way too big for the engine, hence twin turbo was invented with 2 smaller turbo's spooling up way faster as 1 big one) please do your research more before making a video.
I wonder would AMG-Mercedes-Benz allow me to order this car without the F1 package. And use a AMG V12 instead. So the car an be used like a road car and not a racecar😅
And Mercedes will sell all of these very limited run cars and could probably sell double or triple the number as there are people who will pay many many pounds dollars or yen for exclusivity
I understand that the engineering is exciting but the whole "lets put a f1 engine into a road car" has lost its charm with the end of NA engines, before you say "but what about the tag turbo 911", well, that doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner
So can the average street racer get one on loan and just use it for winning other cars then pay it off or isn’t it fast enough and Mercedes’ can’t put their car on pawn. Seriously gps and modern cars on modern roads with just basically dead shits everywhere the racing should be broad cast live online by a high pay subscription they only race when the payment opens up the street track. They sort of showed people how to do it on the fast and the furious Tokyo drift. From street racing I’m still owed a A9X Torana. A9X with a stroked 308 with modern turbo style supercharger fully worked with Bathurst style suspension. I’d race that on the street.
@@alexstromberg7696 so completely reworking the emission reduction system, adding two additional cats, a ton of electronic, a heating system, bigger Batterie for the heating system, a stronger suspension, thicker Bolts, extra Carbonfiber layer, adds no weight? Stupid to think that.

@@alexstromberg7696 suspension part because the extra weight of the emission cleaning leads to more weight the suspension has to carrie therefore it had to be done stronger wich needs more material and therefore weight.

music could be just a little louder on this one🙏🙏
Just so you know, amg is Mercedes-Benz. AMG got bought out my Mercedes-Benz and now the Origional AMG is using another name, can't remember it at the moment buts it a 3 letter abbreviation.
Ok, but what about that unbelievably slow gear box? It shifts like an automated single clutch manual from 2001…😮
Their car which is, 1.6cc can record the fastest time in nurburgring..
While my car, which is also 1.6cc, needs to close the air condition switch if it wants to overtake another car🤣🤣🤣
Its a racecar and definitely not daily able
F1 engines don’t seize when they are cold. They just experience accelerated wear because of somewhat increased friction
Excuse me, 31k km is WAY more reliable than a Cybertruck.
How dare they label music as noise. I’m putting my foot down and it’s the right one because I’m correct.
First roadcar ever to feature pnuematic valve trains.. 😂 bro, i’m laughing in koenigsegg. They did that in a road car like 10 years ago.
Man i was into this, until you said impact. The motors are heated because of metal expansion
18-30k? did they change it from 50k?🧐
The 50.000 is in kilometers, which roughly translates to about 30.000 miles.
Rather have a v12 hybrid that that little 1.6L. engine won't last long
Why are you crying? The McLaren F1 also has shit lifespan and yet i dont see people crying about it
The only one crying is you bitch boy
Id buy one with a 100k km warranty 😅

I wouldn't buy one unless they can get the revs back up to at least 13500 rpm. What's the point of using an F1 engine without most of the original power band?
But they dont produce much if any more power over 10,5k in f1 since that is where the fuel flow is. 100kg/h at 10,5k you cant put more fuel in than that so they wont be making much more power than at 10,5k
@@akiro43 huh, I guess you're right about current F1 engines. At 1:59 he says they rev to over 15k, so I figured the power band would be like 12-14.5k, but I looked it up & the power drops off before 12k due to fuel restrictions like you said, so it's not as disappointing as I first thought. Still, if I was in the market for a multi million $ car, I'd rather pick a GMA T.50
@@nathansmith3608 yeah I agree its disappointing when you hear they put an F1 engine in a street car but it is still incredible that they made it work with modern german regulations at all. You just have to look what the manufacturers have to do to normal cars to meet those regulations to see how ridiculous it is. I hope with synthetic fuel in the future they will be able to build cars more like they want to again
This should had been a project back in the V8 regulation, the more balanced config and higher displacement would help the engine to be less volatile and easier to downtune and remap. Though real peak would had been back in the V10 era.
To me, the Mercedes AMG One is the distilled essence of modern German engineering across the board. I used to be heavy into German cars until the excess complexity and unreliability turned me off. I now joke that the German engineers take powerful drugs before they design something. Two million for a car that can barely run consistently is an absolute joke.
In a way, this is the quintessence of a hypercar. Ultra high tech for something that more likely than not will never see a track day
Mercedes F1 and AMG ONE cars together are British engineering, they are developed and built in England, both engine and chassis.
Name one non German automotive brand engine and power train who is more solid than an Rs6, m550d, S63. You won't.
@@alvarokoteli3643They aren’t. They are made in Stuttgart, by german engineers. Your shitty bri ish cars are being developed by gay people and Indians.
So what is the point of this car?
I would say it's likely mostly a PR stunt.
Show technology advancements within the Mercedes F1 team
Who doesn’t want a racing engine in their road car?
BMW invented the pneumatic valve train in the 80s. Koenigsegg uses it on all its V8s. That was misinformation ❤
Renault
A cold formula 1 engine is not seized when cold. I could not watch the rest because I would have to check each fact you mention here.
No koenigsegg was the first road car to use enumatic valves in an engine
Be a decade before Goonsquad can afford a wrecked one. Lol
I'm torn.
A handful of overengineered mega-millions track only hypercars that, frankly, look the same as the last hypercar you saw on TV do not interest me.
But on the other hand, that is quite a nice bit of engineering to get that terrible engine choice to work in the slightest.
I think Ferrari tried this last with the, er, F50 was it?
Which was apparently terrible.
If you handed me 2mil and put a gun to my head I'd go with the T50 or time travel back to get an F1.
Gordon gets it.
Without the gun I'd buy a small British sports car with a decent boot and spend the rest of my life with that money driving around the world for giggles.
Im sure Mercedes will also build a diesel version of this car so they can be used as taxis 😂😂...
Audi won the Le Mans with V12 TDI's. Now go back to your donkey
Not for me. Mind you neither is F1 these days. Maybe I'm too old and unwilling to change but the days of the V10s and V12s were real F1 for me. We seem to have lost so much.
This AMG 1 is pretty awful looking, (and sounding), inside and out and personally I'd much rather have a much more comfortable and pretty 'every day supercar' as lets face it the vast majority of pretty much everybody's time behind the wheel is spend not driving and cornering at ludicrous speeds.
Take a Pagani Utopia hands down.
7:18
in other words, it doesn't have an actual F1 engine.
Great explanation love it🫡
F1 V6 engines rev to 11.000 rpm, and turbo motors make their power relatively low in the rpm range (unless the turbo is way too big for the engine, hence twin turbo was invented with 2 smaller turbo's spooling up way faster as 1 big one) please do your research more before making a video.
Very American, freedom but restrict this street legal loophole that no one would buy anyway
I wonder would AMG-Mercedes-Benz allow me to order this car without the F1 package. And use a AMG V12 instead. So the car an be used like a road car and not a racecar😅
You need service that car every 5.000 km so im not sure about that reliability
1700 Kilos?
And Mercedes will sell all of these very limited run cars and could probably sell double or triple the number as there are people who will pay many many pounds dollars or yen for exclusivity
I understand that the engineering is exciting but the whole "lets put a f1 engine into a road car" has lost its charm with the end of NA engines, before you say "but what about the tag turbo 911", well, that doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner
So can the average street racer get one on loan and just use it for winning other cars then pay it off or isn’t it fast enough and Mercedes’ can’t put their car on pawn. Seriously gps and modern cars on modern roads with just basically dead shits everywhere the racing should be broad cast live online by a high pay subscription they only race when the payment opens up the street track. They sort of showed people how to do it on the fast and the furious Tokyo drift. From street racing I’m still owed a A9X Torana. A9X with a stroked 308 with modern turbo style supercharger fully worked with Bathurst style suspension. I’d race that on the street.
Lol ain't no one loaning you a $2 mil hypercar
its not legal here in the U.S. ? i hate it here. so i gotta move in order to purchase it. damn......
Im sure there are some that were imported under the Show & Display law.
1700 kg really. It's not good.
Euro 6.
Bevor it had 1380kg which was phenomenal to drive as incredible quick.
@@MJ-mw3nieuro 6 has nothing to do with weight
@@alexstromberg7696 so completely reworking the emission reduction system, adding two additional cats, a ton of electronic, a heating system, bigger Batterie for the heating system, a stronger suspension, thicker Bolts, extra Carbonfiber layer, adds no weight?
Stupid to think that.
@@MJ-mw3ni in that way yes it adds weight but most of the weight is from the crash protection.
Suspension isnt part of euro 6, euro 6 is emissions nothing else.
@@alexstromberg7696 suspension part because the extra weight of the emission cleaning leads to more weight the suspension has to carrie therefore it had to be done stronger wich needs more material and therefore weight.
Not much (about 5-10kg but all the extra steps lead to the increased eight of 200-300kg which the project one didn’t had.
(The car presented 2017, now it’s the amg one which the changed they had to made.
Probably the worst sounding F1 engine ever
So it's not an F1 engine...
f1 v6 engines do not run above barely 11k rpm not over 15k lmao
i'd rather have a Bugatti
Just get a Ducati. I can do 17k RPM, and i can smack down 99% of whats on the road w/ no issue at all. All for 36k!
Too much company line hype.
Wrong engine, it should have a SAR1006ci / 16.5 liter V8
I would prefer if Mercedes brings back the V8 engine in the AMG C63/E63 instead of this lame "show" and 4 cyclinder cars.
You want an F1 engine go and buy an F50
A silly little toy for guys with too much disposable income. Tax the wealthiest properly. Enough with the seventeen feet of tax-code.
I’ve always disliked this car. It goes against reality rather than leverages it. It’s ugly and heavy. Poor thing is on life support just to maintain existence. They probably learned a lot just to get it to “work” I suppose.
