Maro Engel, Mercedes‑AMG brand ambassador and DTM driver, beat his previous best time in the Mercedes-AMG One by over 5 seconds. On September 23 2024, at 6.56 PM Maro Engel achieved the new record of 6:29.090 minutes around the 20.832 km Nordschleife track.

The Mercedes-AMG ONE is the first car to lap the legendary track in under 6:30 minutes. 

Two years ago, the conditions were not ideal, and some sections of the track were still a little damp. We knew we could do more, and we wanted to show that. Today we were able to demonstrate the maximum potential of the AMG ONE. Many thanks to the whole team from Affalterbach for the trust they’ve placed in me. It was a great pleasure and honour to be able to drive this record lap with such a unique car.

Said Maro Engel, Mercedes‑AMG brand ambassador.

We’ve held the record for road vehicles for almost two years now. But at AMG, we always want to push the boundaries of what is possible to the maximum or even push them a little further. That’s why we have once again demonstrated what is possible with the unique AMG ONE. The entire team has been rewarded for its efforts and commitment. I’m proud of this determined team effort and of this fantastic record time. Once again, we’ve impressively demonstrated the spirit and expertise of AMG.

Said Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes‑AMG GmbH and
Head of the Mercedes‑Benz G‑Class & Mercedes‑Maybach divisions.
