On December 8, the first mass-produced model of Mercedes-Benz's "Mythos series" - the super sports car Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed was released. Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed adopts an avant-garde and innovative racing design concept, removing the roof and windshield, an open cockpit two-seater supercar design and the Halo system derived from F1 racing. Officials said that this model will be sold in a limited number of 250 units worldwide.
The extremely low-key shape of AMG PureSpeed is in the same vein as AMG ONE, which always reflects that it is a pure performance product: the low body that flies close to the ground, the slender engine cover and the "shark nose" front design outline a pure fighting posture. The dark chrome three-pointed star emblem at the front of the car and the wide air intake decorated with the word "AMG" make it more sharp. The eye-catching carbon fiber parts at the lower part of the car body, which are as sharp as a knife, form a sharp contrast with the elegant and bright sports car lines on the upper part of the car body, bringing a visual impact of both performance and elegance. The shoulder line of the rear is full of muscles, and the elegant curve extends all the way to the trunk lid and rear skirt, further expanding the visual width of the rear of the car.
AMG PureSpeed focuses on the balance of downforce of the whole vehicle through the design of a large number of aerodynamic components, guiding the airflow to "bypass" the cockpit. At the front of the car, the engine cover with exhaust port has been aerodynamically optimized and has a smooth shape; transparent baffles are placed in front of and on both sides of the cockpit to guide the airflow to pass over the cockpit. The carbon fiber parts of the front of the car can extend downward by about 40 mm at speeds above 80 km/h, creating a Venturi effect to stabilize the body; the active adjustable rear wing has 5 levels of adaptive adjustment to further improve the handling performance.
The unique carbon fiber wheel covers used on the 21-inch wheels are also the unique touch of AMG PureSpeed aerodynamic design: the carbon fiber front wheel covers are open-style, which can optimize the airflow at the front end of the vehicle, help cool the brake system and increase downforce; the carbon fiber rear wheel covers are completely closed to reduce the wind resistance of the vehicle; the side skirts use carbon fiber aerodynamic wings to effectively reduce turbulence on the side of the vehicle and improve high-speed stability. Aerodynamic additional parts are used at the bottom of the vehicle body to make up for the lack of roof aerodynamic performance in the open cockpit; as compensation, the front axle lifting system can improve the vehicle's passability when encountering bumpy roads or curbs. .
In terms of interior, the car adopts the classic crystal white and black two-tone interior, which exudes a strong racing atmosphere under the background of the HALO system. The AMG high-performance seats are made of special leather and decorative stitching. The smooth lines are inspired by the simulation of the airflow of the car body. The multi-contour design provides strong lateral support for the driver. There are also carbon fiber decorations on the back of the seat. A custom IWC clock is inlaid in the center of the instrument panel, and the dial shines with a luminous AMG diamond pattern. The "1 out of 250" badge on the center control panel.
The uniqueness of Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed lies in the fact that it does not have the roof, A-pillars, windshield and side windows of traditional vehicles. Instead, it uses the HALO system from the world's top motorsport F1 car and adopts a two-seat open cockpit design. The HALO system was developed by Mercedes-Benz in 2015 and has become a standard component of every F1 car since 2018, protecting the safety of drivers in the open cockpit of the car.
In terms of power, the AMG PureSpeed is equipped with an optimized AMG 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine built with the concept of "one person, one engine", with a maximum power of 430 kilowatts, a peak torque of 800 Nm, an acceleration of 3.6 seconds per 100 kilometers, and a top speed of 315 kilometers per hour. The fully variable AMG high-performance four-wheel drive enhanced version (AMG Performance 4MATIC+), combined with the AMG active ride control suspension system with active roll stabilization function and the rear-wheel active steering system, further enhances the vehicle's extraordinary driving performance. The AMG high-performance ceramic composite brake system provides excellent braking performance.
