George Russell, the Formula 1 sensation, has just unveiled his latest acquisition, a jaw-dropping $2.7 million hypercar, just in time for the highly anticipated Miami Grand Prix. This limited-edition Mercedes-AMG ONE is not just any car; it’s Russell’s “dream car,” a symbol of his hard-earned success and undeniable passion for speed.
Joining the ranks of elite hypercar owners like Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, Russell proudly showcased his new wheels on social media, expressing his gratitude and excitement. The British driver couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, sharing, “MY DREAM CAR!!! So honored to own this car and it’s been a dream of mine ever since I joined Mercedes F1 back in 2017!!”
With only 275 units ever produced worldwide, each meticulously hand-built by Mercedes-AMG, Russell’s hypercar is a rare gem in the world of luxury vehicles. What sets this hypercar apart is not just its price tag but the cutting-edge Formula 1 technology under its hood. Boasting a hybrid powertrain churning out a whopping 1,049 horsepower, this beast on wheels is a true marvel of engineering.
At the heart of the Mercedes-AMG ONE lies a Mercedes-Benz PU106B Hybrid engine, a modified version of the powerhouse that dominated the hybrid era of Formula 1. The hybrid system, comprising a potent combination of a combustion engine and four electric motors, propels the car from 0-62 mph in a mere 2.9 seconds, with a top speed reaching a blistering 219 mph.
Since its debut in 2023, the AMG ONE has shattered track records, showcasing its unrivaled performance and precision. Setting a new benchmark at the Nurburgring with a time of 6:29.090 minutes, this hypercar has proven its prowess on the most challenging circuits in the world.
As Russell gears up for the Miami Grand Prix at the International Autodrome, fans are eager to see him push the limits of his new hypercar on the track. With Mercedes’ team principal, Toto Wolff, expressing optimism for a “more competitive showing,” all eyes are on Russell to deliver a performance befitting of his dream car. The stakes are high, the competition fierce, but one thing is for sure – George Russell is ready to roar into the Miami GP in style.
