Sports Car Transcript.
There will be no "threshold of snobbery", no class division, no geographical difference; There will be no sensational picture posts, bringing together all the Sportscar models that have ever appeared, using articles and videos, so that all sports car fans can feel the most profound sports car culture in the [Sports Car Dictionary].
After five years of brewing, the One, which was launched under the name of Mercedes-AMG, was finally announced on June 1, 2022, and this five years is not long, if it is said that it takes five years to complete the road adaptation test of all F1 cars, it is indeed not long; At least when it was released in September 2017, there was no new crown epidemic, no chip shortage, and no globalization. Of course, the title of "finally waiting for you", is not the author's expectation of M-AMG One, its deeper understanding can be said to be its production finally ended Mercedes from the post-World War II high-performance supercar fatalism, looking back, W196S, C111, CW311, C112, etc., almost all after the completion of the prototype stage testing and then abruptly stopped the fate, even if it is applauded, even if the exhibition receives more orders, we do not put into production is not put into production ...
Photo: The Mercedes-AMG One has a wheelbase of 2720mm, which is comparable to a C-Class sedan, with a body height of 1261mm and a width of 2010mm. 2.9 seconds can break a hundred, 7 seconds to break two hundred, 15.6 seconds to break three hundred, the speed is not high, only 352 kph, definitely not enough to type the keyboard and mouth cannon, but the highlight of this car is not on the power system!
Pictured: The classic gull-wing doors have been replaced by butterfly-style doors that are easier to lay out, and since the gull-wing was born out of necessity, the same explanation is given to the butterfly doors.
Previously we introduced the W196S, that is, the Uhlenhaut Coupe that was recently sold for 130 million euros, I will not elaborate here, click to see the relevant articles. After the "Liman Disaster" of 1955, Mercedes announced the launch of all motor racing sports, a mass production plan that could have been the first real supercar after World War II was suspended, yes, it was indeed the first sports car after World War II to really have a top-level racing endorsement, and this award was left to the later "Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale", and as its project director, Rudolf Uhlenhaut (Rudolf Uhlenhaut). Ulenhout) can only continue its work from the abolished racing division to the civilian model development department. Before retiring, he completed the development of the last sports car in Mercedes, the 1969 C111 concept car, on which Mercedes completed the first multi-link suspension design and finalization, completed the test of the Wankel rotor engine, completed the test of the diesel engine, completed the test of the turbocharging system, and improved the process of the fiber body, which were all forward-looking topics at the time. When everyone saw it at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970, they were all impressed by its scientific and technological prowess, but because of the durability of the rotor engine, they later wanted to switch to a five-cylinder diesel engine or a V8 gasoline engine, and happened to encounter the first oil crisis in 1973, and finally the whole thing was almost shelved, and this car set a speed record of 403.978 kph at the Nardo circuit in Italy on May 5, 1979, which is still popular with fans.
Pictured: The Uhlenhaut Coupe, code-named W196S, was built on the basis of the W196S racing car, the M196 inline eight-cylinder engine, which was also the first internal combustion engine to use the Desmodromic valve control mechanism, and also had a mechanical direct injection technology, with a maximum horsepower that was more powerful than the version used in the car at the time, with 305 horses, compared to only 280 horses on the formula. This became mercedes' first truly true supercar after World War II, but unfortunately, it failed to usher in mass production.
Pictured: Rudolf Uhlenhaut's last product at the Daimler AG was the C111 concept, and the engine he took with him was the M950F three-rotor engine.
Figure: C111 is divided into four versions, the first is a beta version. The widely circulated version in the picture is the second version, which uses a four-rotor launch, 350 horsepower, and a top speed of 290 kph. A total of 16 of the four versions were produced, but due to external reasons, production was not made.
Pictured: The interior no longer has any "concept car" appearance, and can basically be regarded as a quasi-production car.
In 1972, a generation of automotive engineering company Rudolf Ulenhout retired, Mercedes also experienced the darkest two oil crises in the European automotive industry, after all, as the hardest hit area of the crisis, both daily life and the impact on the automotive industry are huge, Mercedes, who has always been more focused on the development of large-displacement engines, will encounter what problems naturally can be imagined, and in this process, a self-proposed engineer proposed his own plan to Mercedes. He was Eberhard Schulz, who used mercedes and Porsche parts to create a concept car called CW311, named after the drag coefficient of only Cd0.311, which was completed in 1978 and even hung up the "three-star label" for publicity with the acquiescence and non-prosecution of Daimler-Benz, perhaps the company's management was also impressed by his enthusiasm. Daimler did not object to this business practice, and it became Daimler-Benz's first non-self-developed and officially recognized "programmable concept car" since 1926, which was later used by well-known racing drivers such as Niki Lauda. The last CW311 was sold to the Sultan of Brunei, while the production model, founded by Eberhard Schultz himself, Wasdera, went into production in 1983 under the name Isdera Imperator 108i and continued to produce 30 units until 2001.
Pictured: CW311, originally a "non-institutional" project, was operated by bb, a modification company that specializes in porsche, but after hanging up the three-star label without permission, Daimler AG did not have any opinions, which has become a special case in the history of the car.
C111 failed to be put into production, CW311 is "official semi-recognized unofficial" nature, the concept car that really made Mercedes-Benz want to enter the supercar field again is the C112 concept launched at the Turin Motor Show in 1991, a German car was taken to the Italian auto show for the first time, the meaning is believed to be easy to interpret, this is another concept car that is infinitely close to mass production, and the gull-wing doors pioneered in the W194 era have been completely preserved. And it is also endowed with a variety of high-tech elements, for the details of this car, you can refer to the "only regrets left in production: Mercedes C112 concept car" article, here will not be elaborated. Mercedes-Benz received an advance payment of 700 orders, but in the end, the proud management did not need to concoct such a high-cost supercar to prove that Mercedes would not build a sports car, and did not need to tell everyone that Mercedes would not be able to race, because the C11 and its predecessor C9 were already very strong, winning the annual championship in Group C in 1989/1990. Many high-tech research and development projects on the C112 have been absorbed and commercialized by mass production vehicles, which can be regarded as the completion of its historical mission.
Pictured: Even after receiving 700 orders from other mosquito-type car manufacturers that were drooling, the mass production plan was ultimately rejected by management.
Pictured: As evidenced by the picture, have you ever seen a concept car that is not ready to be put into production even equipped with double flash, stereo, air conditioner and even airbags?
In 1988, Mercedes-Benz formally established a partnership with AMG and provided it with complete underlying technical support, including the C11 project with Sauber, and the victories at DTM events in 1992 and 1994, 1995, or the CLK-GTR project in 1997 and the success of the CLK-GTR project, in 1998, Daimler AG acquired a 51% stake and renamed the company Mercedes-AMG GmbH. In January 2005, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler AG. On 16 November 2009, Daimler AG acquired a 45.1% stake in Brown GP Team, which was renamed "Mercedes GP Petronas Formula One Team" and announced mercedes-Benz's return to Formula One after a 55-year absence. Yes, exactly 55 years, you know, Mercedes announced in 1934, before World War II, that is, the AIACR European Championship, and Mercedes won the 1935, 1937 and 1938 seasons, followed by the outbreak of World War II. In 1946, after World War II, the FIA reformulated the rules for one-seat racing and published the F1 rules, the first of which was the Turin Grand Prix on 1 September 1946. The first tournament was held at Silverstone on 13 May 1950, and the history of F1 began, most of the rules of F1 were taken from pre-World War II GP events, as a traditional pre-World War II power, Mercedes could not sit idly by and not participate, on July 4, 1954, the W196 Formula 1, developed by Rudolf Ulenhout, returned to F1 and was driven by Juan Manuel Fangio, Won the 1954 and 1955 championships (there was no constructors' championship at the time).
Pictured: The hegemon of the GP race before World War II was this W125 car, also known as the Second Generation of Silver Arrow, the first generation was the W25, as for the Auto Union AG's Type-A~D car, which was touted a little too much in the domestic fandom, it was more dependent on Ferdinand Porsche's personal relationship with Hitler to get government support (equal government funding) to have the opportunity to represent the German team at that time, and only won the championship in 1936. The other three or four years were won by Mercedes (1939 was not counted).
Pictured: The C9 and C11 have far-reaching significance for the history of the modern Mercedes, and they are the milestone models that officially announced the brand's return to the track after the complete withdrawal from the racing track in 1956.
Pictured: The W196 was mercedes' first F1 car developed after World War II, racing in 1954 and winning nine of its 12 runs. Its developer is Rudolf Uhrenhout, an automotive engineer who can be said to be faster than the F1 world champion. Its successor was the MGP W01 racing car, which did not appear until 2010.
I dare not imagine, if there is no 1955 "Liman Disaster" and lead to the 1956 Mercedes completely withdrawn from the racing world, the development to today, the racing industry will be what it is, or mercedes this brand will be to what status, these assumptions or can only happen in another parallel universe, can not guess a reason, but one thing is certain, after a few years of running-in after 2010, the strength of research and development capabilities by the F1 magnifying glass to the fullest, From the fourth in 2010, the fourth in 2011, the fifth in 2012, the second in 2013, since 2014, the F1 arena has officially entered the third era of Mercedes' domination, the author does not care who wins the driver championship, although the human factor is very important, but as a technical control, the performance of the car should occupy most of the weight of the trophy, of course, there is luck, timing and location. The One, unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 11, 2017, model code C298; What's in it? The relationship is big, codenamed W297 is the 1998 CLK GTR AMG Coupe, that is, it is easy to understand the inheritance relationship, yes, one is clK-GTR's inheritance car.
Pictured: The W01 car that entered the race in 2010, Nico Rosberg, Ross Brown, Michael Shumiga, do not need to be introduced.
Pictured: Mercedes-AMG One's technical source car is the 2016 W07 Hybrid car, which competed in 21 races in the 2016 season, won 20 pole positions, won 19 games, and the team finished 8 games in 1-2 places, with the fastest lap times 9 times.
Pictured: The One Concept released in 2017 is based on the chassis hardware design and power system of the W07 race car, but it is not easy to move an equation engine like the PU106C to the road car!
Figure: In the street version of the model sequence, the code name W297 CLK GTR is the previous generation model of one, but also worthy of the name of the supercar ranks, supercar or not and expensive is not necessarily related, only related to whether there is a racing endorsement, One's endorsement is W07, all to the ceiling of the endorsement.
While one's selling point is the civilianization of F1 technology, yes, here F1 technology is frozen in the 2016 W07 Hybrid, which is mercedes' seventh car to return to F1 and is also 90.47% of the winning percentage in F1 history, second only to The McLaren MP4/4 at 93.75%. The engine used on the M-AMG One is the W07 Hybrid, which has been adjusted for civilianization, the engine has a displacement of 1,599cc, a bore of 80mm, a stroke of 53.03mm, a gas distribution mechanism of pneumatic valve springs, a camshaft directly driven by gears, a turbocharging system driven by exhaust gases and power-assisted, and an E-Turbo turbo auxiliary motor with a power of 122 horses, located in the center of the V6 angle. A 163-horse electric motor with kinetic energy recovery drives the crankshaft directly through the gears; Two other 163-horse electric motors drive two front wheels. The maximum speed limit of the internal combustion engine has been reduced from 14,000 rpm to 11,000 rpm, which has also increased the maintenance cycle from 4,000 km to 50,000 km, which can be roughly understood as the car traveling 50,000 km to be repaired or overhauled, if you take a top supercar with such a configuration, it is very reasonable. The maximum horsepower of the internal combustion engine is 574 horses, the total power of the two motors on the front wheel is 326 horses, plus the MGU-K on the crankshaft 163 horsepower, the weight of the whole set of power is 420 kg, the total combined horsepower is 1063 horses, but the torque data is not released, but here let the author have a question, the power performance of the PU106C engine is used to push the 702 kg weight W07 Hybrid racing car, and the One car weighs 1695 kg, which is not light, Is the torque property of a racing engine suitable for such a heavy street car? Or will Mercedes prioritize power to compensate for the logic of power output? The drivetrain is a single-clutch 7-speed AMT transmission (dual-clutch can't cope with this high-speed reaction).
Pictured: The PU106C Hybrid is a development model of the PU106A Hybrid engine that has been in use since 2015, with a cylinder angle of 90°, a single-turbocharger, and a maximum boost value of 3.5 bar., first used in the W05 Hybrid racing car, and renamed the M08 EQ Power+after 2017.
Pictured: The main source of power for the One to run fast is this V6 engine with an exhaust capacity of only 1.6 liters.
Figure: The role of two separate motors placed in the front wheel, in addition to providing pure electric driving, is more important to the balance and difference of traction force distribution, so that the vehicle, whether in a straight or cornering, the four wheels have a relatively good traction performance, so they can be regarded as a handling performance assistance system.
Of course, since it is a civilian derivative of F1 technology, relying on a PU106C engine alone is not enough to fascinate everyone, including the author, we are of course concerned about a series of configurations such as frame, suspension, braking, etc. According to mercedes's public information, Mercedes-AMG One's engine development action is completed in the United Kingdom Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains. The final assembly of the whole vehicle was also completed at the Mercedes-AMG F1 headquarters in the United Kingdom. The frame part, it is certain that it will be completed in accordance with the production standards of F1, but the standard and the shape are two different things, after all, the One is a mass production car, to cope with a variety of non-directional impacts and impacts to ensure the safety of the personnel in the car, the preset value of this F1 has a fundamental difference. Also, the suspension system, although the design is basically the same as the multi-link form on the W07 race car, but in order to cope with the daily road use, it is impossible to appear carbon fiber connecting rod, torsion bar spring such a configuration, so the front suspension is installed on the main frame of carbon fiber, and the rear suspension is completely supported by the engine and gearbox, which is also the most commonly used structure of all mid-engine racing cars and their derived supercars. Of course, this suspension system is currently limited in public information, its performance of controlling the left and right wheels at the same time through two suspensions to offset the impact of large torque torsional forces on the suspension is currently the first time in civilian vehicles, so this set of suspension from F1 is the part that the author is most interested in. The rim part is made of aluminum alloy + carbon fiber hybrid structure, the front wheel 19 inches with 285/35ZR19 tires, the rear wheel 20 inches with 335/30ZR20 tires, the supplier is Michelin, the model is Pilot Sport Cup 2s.
Figure: The author thinks that the most fascinating part of the whole car is the suspension system, note that the multi-link form was invented by Mercedes, and it is estimated that there are not many car companies that can compare with it, and this set of multi-link systems derived from the W07 racing car, the two suspensions are different, and at the same time control the constraint reaction of the left and right wheels, and the application of this high-grade suspension design to this high-grade suspension design is the first time in a mass production car. (Front hanging picture from the internet)
Figure: The internal structure released in 2017 is actually not difficult to understand and more common layout, but many details need to be learned and understood.
Pictured: If you want to classify One's hybrid system, it belongs to PHEV, which can only travel 25 kilometers in pure electric mode, but combined, its fuel consumption is only 8.7 liters, which is really "home-saving" in the supercar ranks!
Pictured: The rim design is quite unique, and the aerodynamic kit auxiliary braking system is used to dissipate heat, which is also the first time in mass production.
Figure: The complexity of the control mechanism of this active tail is rare.
As for the interior part, just like the predecessors of Mercedes supercars in the past, they all adopted a very streamlined treatment, after all, this kind of car does not need to consider what is comfortable and comfortable, but it is soft and soft, stepping on the accelerator like hitting the cotton, which will make the owners of the gold complain. Although it is only an entry-level driving configuration, the factory still "reluctantly" added leather seats, multimedia entertainment, sound systems and other configurations, and the weight of 1695 kg is not unprovoked.
Pictured: I really admire the magic of Harmut Sinkwitz, who is in charge of interior design, for being able to blend the steering wheel of F1 with the steering wheel of a street car so seamlessly.
Pictured: Driving mode is still placed in the lower right of the steering wheel.
Figure: Multimedia screen is also one of the high-end configurations.
Pictured: Streaming car interior mirrors.
Pictured: Putting aside the Voice of Berlin, the best explanation here is to be worth the price of 2.75 million euros, right? Honestly, who would buy a supercar like this to listen to the replay?
With the mechanical quality of One, the record of the W07 Hybrid racing car as the packaging selling point, combined with the sales of the clk-GTR in the past, and the production of only 275 vehicles, its price of 2.75 million euros each is within a reasonable range, to know that clk-GTR today's second-hand market also exceeds this figure, so, according to the pre-2020 consumption concept, Mercedes-AMG One really does not have to worry about selling out.
Postscript:
With the entire car industry now began to develop in the direction of new energy and pure electric models, those multi-cylinder number, large displacement of self-priming or turbocharging luxury, high-performance models have gradually begun to out of print, Xiaobian himself is also very eager to have a model like that, but unfortunately ah I am shy, those models are destined to be out of touch with Xiaobian. But although Xiaobian can't afford to buy it himself, he can also hope that our children can also afford it, so you may wish to cultivate their interest in these models from an early age.
Picture: Dad opens AMG, baby sits on AMG, isn't this kind of collocation a good opportunity to cultivate children?
The Mercedes-AMG stroller that cultivates babies interested in cars today is a stroller brand from Germany called Hartan. Founded in 1892, Hatan was an early manufacturer of wicker products and began producing wicker furniture in 1920. It was not until 1950 that Hatan expanded its business again, starting to produce strollers and accessories for use in strollers.
Hartan recently announced that it will partner with Mercedes-AMG to launch a limited edition 299-unit stroller called the AMG GT Stroller, which bears the same name as Mercedes-AMG's four-door high-performance motorhome, the AMG GT five-door version. As a limited edition of only 299 units of co-branded strollers, there must always be something special, rather than just printing a few Mercedes-AMG LOGOs to say that it is a joint model.
Pictured: Looking from the rear, this stroller is still quite forced. The colors and collocations are very AMG.
The top canopy of this stroller is made of jacquard fabric and is equipped with a conspicuous red and black color scheme, and its launch handle is wrapped in black leather with red stitching. In addition, as a stroller, BB's experience in the cockpit is also crucial, so Hartan used Thenamica microfiber material that Mercedes uses on his vehicle in the cockpit to give BB a better experience in the cockpit (provided that he can perceive it).
In order to better protect the baby in the cockpit, Hartan used a five-point seat belt with magnetic snaps on this stroller (when Dad opened the platform AMG, did he mean to use the three-point type?). Haha).
Pictured: As an AMG GT stroller, how can you get less walking and comfort parts? Through the pictures, we can see that the stroller uses the same AMG rim style as the real car (or the "central lock mechanism"). In order to keep the BB in the cockpit from being affected by road bumps, the stroller is also equipped with a shock absorption system.
Pictured: After folding, this co-branded stroller can perfectly fit into the trunk of the AMG GT five-door version, allowing BB to experience a seamless "user experience".
The Hartan and Mercedes-AMG stroller will be launched in Europe in July this year and will be priced at 1100 euros, equivalent to 7853 yuan. It seems that compared with several high-end stroller brands currently sold in China, it is really not expensive, I don't know if the owners of Mercedes-AMG GT will be interested in this stroller? After all, let your BB be interested in cars since childhood, but you can't be sloppy. When a child grows up, looking back at his infant car, I believe he can also appreciate the hardships that his parents have paid for ta's growth!
