The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed is making its world premiere at the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, showcasing the brand’s commitment to innovative design and exceptional performance. This radically open two-seater performance car is the first model in the strictly limited Mercedes-Benz Mythos series, commemorating the design language of legendary racing cars.
With its striking design, the PureSpeed reinterprets elements of iconic racing cars, making for a fascinating, timeless silhouette. The car’s low silhouette, long bonnet, and distinctive shark nose evoke the Mercedes-AMG ONE hypercar, while the aerodynamically optimised bonnet and partial transparent deflectors enhance its performance credentials.
A TRIBUTE TO LEGENDARY MERCEDES MODELS
The PureSpeed pays homage to legendary Mercedes models, including the 300 SLR, which Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson drove to victory at the 1955 Mille Miglia. The car’s exclusive Silver Arrow finish in mystic silver magno is a nod to the brand’s rich racing heritage.
INTERIOR: A COCOON OF LUXURY AND PERFORMANCE
The interior features a classic two-tone colour and equipment concept in crystal white/black, with AMG Performance seats offering optimal lateral support. The area behind the seats showcases carbon fibre, while integrated leather pads and deep-pile AMG floor mats echo the seats’ colour and design.
POWER AND PERFORMANCE
The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine delivers 430 kW (585 PS) of maximum power and 800 Nm of maximum torque, propelling the PureSpeed from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 315 km/h.
TECHNOLOGY AND SAFETY
The PureSpeed features a host of advanced technologies, including the HALO system, active rear-axle steering, and the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. The innovative AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with semi-active hydraulic roll stabilisation ensures optimal road contact and handling.
