Mercedes essentially put their F1 engine in a road car, and Lewis Hamilton bought two — one for 🦹himself and one for his dad.
Hamilton even bought a second, for his father.
Bottas 🌞and Hamilton spent five seasons to🅺gether as Mercedes F1 teammates.
Nico Rosberg, the ex-F1 champion with Mercedes, is also on the l🦩ist to receive one of the 275 cars.
The incredible machin🧜e has 1,063 horsepower and can go 0-125mph in seven seco𓃲nds.
It tops out at 219 mph (352 km/h).
The value of this car is expected to increase because it is a road car fitted with an F1 engine. Mercedes say they will never make anothe🌜r of its sort.
The AMG One was ma𝔉de in Coventry with a hybrid powertr♎ain made by the Mercedes‑AMG High Performance Powertrains division in Brixworth.
Last year it smashed the Nu𒉰rburgri꧅ng-Nordschleife lap record with a time of 6:35.
