The Mercedes-AMG ONE (R50, previously known as Project One) is a limited-production plug-in dual hybrid sports car manufactured by Mercedes-AMG, featuring Formula One-derived technology.

The powertrain of the Mercedes-AMG ONE is rated at 782 kW (1,063 PS; 1,049 hp) through a hybrid drivetrain that shares many features with modern F1 cars. The car has five motors with different functions on board: an internal combustion engine and four electric motors.

The AMG ONE features a 7-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission with 4-disc carbon racing clutch (similar to the type of transmission used in modern F1 cars), and delivers the bulk of the engine power and torque to the rear wheels.

The body is made entirely out of carbon fiber in line with its F1 counterpart, resulting in a final kerb weight of 1,695 kg (3,737 lb).[

In November 2022, the AMG One set a lap time of 6:35.183 minutes around the Nürburgring Nordschleife 12.944 mile (20.832 km) course. Mercedes-AMG claimed the car could have easily done a sub 6:30 minute lap time, if the track was in ideal conditions.

Following the Nürburgring lap record, Mercedes-AMG revealed that the AMG ONE have set new lap records around the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit, Hockenheimring, and Red Bull Ring, setting lap times of 1:56.096 minutes, 1:38.563 minutes and 1:26.846 minutes respectively.
