Powered by a hybrid system featuring a 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 and four electric motors, the Mercedes-AMG One gets to play around with 1020 hp of power.
One of the main objectives with this M139 engine was to provide a more sporty experience behind the wheel.
The 100 to 200 km/h sprint time is reduced by 1.6 seconds compared to the standard model.
It will likely pack AMG’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine which will work together with an electric motor on the front axle.
According to the tuner, the car has set a new record in its class at the Palm Beach International Raceway after running the quarter-mile in 10.652 seconds, at 127 mph (204 km/h).
The bodywork components, mainly made from PU RIM are also available in carbon fibre and emphasise sporty features.
Hypothetically speaking, which would you prefer in your garage? We are leaning towards the Valkyrie because V12.
Potential targets include McLaren’s 600LT and the Lamborghini Huracan Performante.
Surely with this sort of output, the little four-pot will be highly unreliable?
