After many difficulties that Mercedes engineers didn’t initially estimate, the Mercedes-AMG One is about to enter collection manufacturing.
Introduced on the Frankfurt Motor Present within the fall of 2017, the Mercedes-AMG Challenge One, which might be named in collection manufacturing Mercedes-AMG One is prepared for collection manufacturing after being delayed for greater than 9 months as a consequence of issues with F1 impressed hybrid propulsion system.
The automobile will price 2.75 million euros plus VAT and can speed up from 0 to 100 km / h in beneath 3 seconds and from 0 to 200 km / h in 6 seconds. the utmost pace is over 350 km/h. Solely 275 models might be constructed and all are already offered.
The automobile was delayed as a consequence of issues with the hybrid propulsion system taken over from Components 1 and due to emissions rules.
The V6 Components 1 engine set for F1 racing has idle pace at 5000 rpm, and the road model of the identical engine needed to have idle pace at 1200 rpm. The V6 engine runs at a particularly excessive pace of 11,000 rpm and never solely for that reason, it wants a whole overhaul at solely 50,000 km.
The propulsion system consists of the thermal engine and a minimum of 4 electrical motors.
Few particulars concerning the V6 engine: due to very excessive revs, the camshafts aren’t pushed by the belt however by spur gears. Additionally as a consequence of excessive speeds, the mechanical valve springs have been changed by pneumatic valve springs. The thermal engine drives the rear axle whereas the entrance axle is pushed solely electrically by two electrical motors, one on every wheel, that develops 120 kW every.
And the turbocharger has a particular development.
The turbine and the compressor are separated from one another. The turbine is situated on the exhaust aspect and the compressor on the consumption aspect, so they’re completely positioned.
The turbo and the compressor are related by a shaft that has an electrical motor of about 90 kW. Relying on the driving mode, it may drive the compressor as much as 100,000 rpm, so there’s nearly no turbo lag. In Components 1 the title of this electrical motor is MGU-H. (motor generator unit warmth).
This MGU-H electrical motor has a second function: it makes use of a part of the excess power from the exhaust system to generate electrical energy which is saved both within the Li-Ion battery situated beneath the entrance seats or is used to energy a further electrical motor. This engine produces 120 kW and is related to the engine’s crankshaft by way of a spur gear. This engine is known as Components 1 MGU-Okay.
The facility obtainable on the entrance axle is 2×120 kW whereas on the rear axle the ability is over 500 kW. In complete, the ability reaches over 740 kW or over 1006 HP. The warmth engine tdelivers energy to the rear wheels by way of a 7 pace computerized gearbox with four-blade carbon clutch.
In essence, the Mercedes-AMG One is a PHEV mannequin and may be pushed full electrical for a distance of 25 km.
The driving force can select between 5 driving modes from pure electrical, hybrid, to Race and Strat 2 (much like the qualifying mode in Components 1).
With a principally carbon development, the 2 occupants sit in sports activities seats lined with Alcantara and the steering wheel and pedals are adjustable. The driving force may select between Freeway and Monitor modes plus hydraulic management of the bottom clearance on a 50 mm journey and three completely different settings for suspension.
The Mercedes-AMG One has energetic aerodynamics with flaps beneath the flat ground that direct the airflow to the rear diffuser.The edges can be found in two variations: solid or magnesium. The titanium aileron is hydraulically adjustable in lots of positions and doesn’t lack the DRS place from Components 1 which is activated from a button on the steering wheel.
Mercedes didn’t announce the kerbweight of AMG One and we’re curious if will probably be lighter than McLaren F1 which didn’t exceed 1000 kg.
