Mercedes-AMG One is one step closer to production

If you really want a 1.6-liter V6 in your life, this is the only way to get it, unless you buy an actual Formula 1 car.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

The automaker has already spent hundreds of hours developing the car digitally, and it's undergone real-world tests on the dyno, which replicated some harsh on-track conditions.

It's not exactly easy to disguise this car, especially considering the engine is spitting out F1 noises, which are more aggressive than even the gnarliest hypercars.

Its F1-derived powertrain uses a tiny 1.6-liter V6 in conjunction with four electric motors to put out more than 1,000 horsepower.

The automaker has a planned production run of 275 cars, and each will cost the euro equivalent of $2.72 million.
