AFFALTERBACH: Mercedes-AMG has announced ahead of this year's Paris Motor Show, that it has named its future hypercar as...wait for it...the ONE.

The reason for calling it so is because the name represents the company's highest automotive ambition, which is to bring Formula 1 hybrid technology to the road.

The ONE will be the pinnacle of the model portfolio, according to the company, and will also be the absolute top-of-the-line model – since it is the...ONE.

With intensive testing having been ongoing for months in England on high-performance test stands and race tracks, the company now presents the latest development status of an outstanding technical feature - active aerodynamics.

The active aerodynamics, which is currently undergoing wind tunnel testing, features a multi-part, two-stage extendable rear wing for maximum downforce in race mode.

The experts at the high-performance subsidiaries in Affalterbach, Brackley and Brixworth are working across borders on just one goal - to bring racing technology to life in a street-legal vehicle.
