• Only 275 made
• 1,063 horsepower
• 0-125mph in 7 seconds
Mercedes essentially put their F1 engine in a ro✨ad car, and Lewis Hamilton bought two — one for himself and one for his dad.
Hamilton even bought a second, for his father.
Bottas and 🌠Hamilton spent five seasons together as Mercedes F1 teammates.
Nico Rosberg, the ex-F1 champౠion with Mercedes, is also on the list to receive one of the 275 cars.
The incredible machine has 1✅,063 horsepower and can go 0-125mph in seven seconds.
It tops out at 219 mph (352 km/h).
The value of this car is expected to increase because i♎t is a road car fitted with an F1 engine. Mercedes say they will never make another of its sort.
The AMG One was made in Coventry with a hybrid powertrain made by the 🐓Mercedes‑AMG High Performance Powertrains division in Brixworth.
Last year it smashed the Nurb🧜urgring-Nordschl🐟eife lap record with a time of 6:35.
It is not street legal in the USA without a special pe💞rmit.
