Power unit aside, the Mercedes-AMG One also boasts some aerodynamic wizardry in the form of active aerodynamics. It has an extendable two-stage rear wing that maximises downforce in race mode for maximum grip and performance.

Like the concept, the cabin of the production-spec One is expected to feature bucket seats with adjustable backrests integrated into the monocoque skeleton, two high-res 10-inch displays to read out relevant data, an F1-style steering wheel with integrated LED shift lights, and a rear view camera instead of a mirror.
