6:35 

Now who has the balls to hand one over to Misha for a week so he can have the world record

Sounds a lot healthier than the press drives car... Great video as always, also MASSIVE CONGRATS on the 400k bro ♥

Impressive car, impressive lap, but I don't think we'll see many customer cars driven in anger on the Ring. Was that a 100.000 euro underbody scratch at Flugplatz? 🙂

damp and cold track and still 6:35, absolutley amazing

From the footage it seems like there's a considerable amount for improvement still! Half way into the lap the track was very wet on some parts and, from what it looks like, he wasn't able to fully commit

It's crazy to think a production car will lap the ring in under 6 minutes in a few years time, sub 7 is already wicked fast but cars just keep getting better and better, can't wait to see how Porsche and Lamborghini respond to this

Congrats on 400k subscribers bro, you deserve it!

Was he even pushing? That was the most casual sub 7 min nord run I have ever seen. I don't think I saw him catch a single slide!

Holy shit and it can be faster !! He slowed few corner, damp track! I think it is easy a sub 6:30 lap car. Smooth driving, too smooth driving ( never mind he had to adapt his driving style that os why looked too smooth)

I don't know the track in nearly as many details as you do but I always pay attention to the speeds reached by different cars at Flugplatz and seeing the AMG One fly through that part at 200 km/h is absolutely mind blowing. I've never been a huge fan of that design but eagle's POV shots made me realise how beautiful of a car it is. Starting the video I wasn't sure what could you say besides analysing the lap footage but you surprised me with a pretty informative video covering significantly more than that - awesome watch, thank you for that!

Congratulations Misha for your 400.000 subscribers, all deserved 🥰👏👏

Thanks for doing this. Most people just see the lap time and that's all. However there is so much involved and so many variable. Explaining it makes cars more then the sum of seconds combined between start and stop

I would say, that the car is capeable of 6,25 easily. The conditions were really bad for a hot lap.

so people were calling this car slow and underwhelming, but now it sets a lap record and people are still undermining it ?? 💀

Oh damn.. They're fkin nuts for actually pushing that car around the ring!!! Congrats to those mad lads!

What a great lap! In truth, I forgot about it given the hype for years, but amazing what they accomplished!

A lot of these people need to realize the amg one was in nowhere near perfect conditions I’d say it could probably do under 6:30 if they also had more attempts

Very impressive lap considering damp sections.. 6min25s doable 😮in perfect conditions

Great video and analysis - brave of AMG to do it in this car, so kudos to them.

Dude those whistles when the car is down shifting. It's like missile coming down towards its target. Awesome!!!!

Very interesting analysis Misha, thanks and great that you had the full lap footage to include. it does indeed feel like the car has more to offer and it seemed like there were a few times where the car was hitting the limiter. Impressive cornering speeds and % of the time spend over 200 km/h too.

Great Video as always! Not all F1 drivers are banned from Motorcycles. Lewis on many occasions has ridden to the track on a motorbike with members of his team. I believe Rosberg during is tenure as a F1 driver also rode. At the end of the day, they need to be on the edge, which is why a lot of them do extreme sports. Lewis actually went skydiving a few months back to get that edge back into his psyche. LOVE WHAT YOU DO ..... The Ring is on the list for a visit... one day because of you!

Thanks! I think the parts of the video from outside behind the car which show the bumpy road are the most amazing. The track looks flat, but it depends on the speed...

So glad AMG recognizes Misha! Congrats!

A few thinkings: -Gear changing sounds delayed(probably they will fix it) -Power decreased in some moments of the lap (in the carwow test the chief proyects says it fail sometimes) At the moment all would be fixed,we probably will see a low 6'....

1st I like the competition between manufactures. It's safe to say when Porsche drops a GT2RS with some kind of an MR pack it's gonna be interesting to see how something like that compares. One question is will they make some kind of racing variant where they have the base car and will it dominate in actual racing? 2nd congrats to you and the team for hitting 400k! Glad to have been around from the Boosted Boris days. It has been a pleasure to watch you grow as a creator. Keep doing what you do!

Congrats for 400k Misha!

Loved the video. But I would like to see more cars like these on this track for example cars like the maclaren senna, Aston Martin VALKYRIE, Rimacs Nevera and maybe even the Bugatti Chiron pur sport

T1 media quality content right here. Congratz on 400k milestone Misha and Apex.

I'd love to see the Aston Martin Valkyrie have a crack at the record

Looks like a G-sensor actuated front aero. Lowers when its long fast curves or straights, and deploys under braking and tighter turns (higher G load). That transmission was definitely tuned for this track. Wasn't really in between gears...rang out the proper gear for the corner. Also i can definitely tell he is left foot braking entire course, its so smooth.

Great vid recent subscriber I really appreciate your down to earth and no nonsense analysis.

Why does Mercedes have a habit of doing track record attempts in the not so ideal conditions? Is it because the dates are already planned way before? I’m curious

if i close my eyes and just listen to it i would've thought i was listening to a KTM with a sloppy quickshifter. but yeah, that was a one quick lap i must say with some impressive speeds although I do feel like its a bit of a cheat to call these cars 'production spec'. it reminds me of homologation cars from back in the rally days which actually had no business with the actual production cars except from its base chassis and body shape.

Thanks for your comments Misha , quite comprehensive .

Excellent content! I enjoyed the "debriefing" 😁

First of all: Cool footage, Misha! 😎 The lap: There is a good amount of time to be found. Lots of seconds alone were lost from Bergwerk to Mutkurve (I think a minimum of 5 seconds there alone). And as you said, all over the track they were far from optimal conditions. So I got the feeling somehow (no offense), Maro Engel was not completely at the edge at most parts were you find your time on the track. Am I wrong with this? What do you think?

This record just shows how good the 911 is.

good to see the car do so well, my uncle was part of the design and engerneering of this car

congrats on the 400K subscribers!! on to many more

impressive! wet conditions, dirty track, god stuck at 262kph because of the rev limiter @3m20s (forgot to switch gear? hybrid system problems?). i want to see another run at optimal conditions. ^___-

Waiting for Aston Martin Valhalla to get onto track and beat it, or either 992 GT2 beats the record first

Man, I hate to think, but would no doubt love to see what it would do when conditions are right for pushing!

Gefeliciteerd met 400K subs op naar de half miljoen!

He's got some balls driving that fast in those conditions 💪🏻💪🏻 This time no car setup explaind like with the BS?

There was more in it. In optimal track conditions im sure itd be a sub 630. this does make the gt3 rs and amg black look way more impressive tho. Especially given you could do another 10 laps in those cars without having to work with the weird energy stuff

Wonderful lap footage! 🏆❤️‍🔥🏎️

Brilliant analysis!

Really great lap, and I’m very impressed by the AMG One. Maybe the new GT2RS will be able to have a go at it?😅

Well done to Mercedes on setting a new lap record 🙌🏾, Amazing driver skills especially in the wet condition and thanks Misha for breaking down the video for us.

They BETTER Redo this lap, AND KEEP AT THE LIMIT!!!!

If this car did this time how come so many RU-vid channels have labeled this car a flop and bizarre MERC project?

Was literally confused reading that time! Epic car and may be a record that stands for a while (maybe new GT2RS will beat it shortly)

That thing looks and sounds effortlessly fast

That's 209 210MPH!!! Smokin 🔥🔥🔥🔥

that was impressive - amazing video.

This seems like the perfect setup for an arms race. I can imagine this coming spring Aston Martin taking the Valkyrie out in perfect conditions, beating the record, thus compelling AMG to give it another go. At least I hope they do considering they could've gone again in the black series after the GT2 took the crown.

I did not expect this much from it I thought its just another exotic spec sheet but wouldnt be as good in the real world!

It would've set a better time, had it not been held back by the single-clutch AMT. A lot of those shifts were REALLY slow. When watching the lap, my first guess in under a minute was "Is that a single-clutch gearbox?". I was right.

Thank you very much ! Now I have to find the pieces of my exploded mind !!

Casually doing 210mph, this lap looked like it was in 2x speed damn What a machine!!!

Great lap, especially if you imagine it’s on a wet track

The AMG One being this fast just makes me even more excited for the Valkyrie.

Excellent news man. But yeah slight improvement possible. But yeah excellent lap. Well done Mercedes. ✌

I was really impressed with how hard it accelerated above 250 kph. I think it's awesome that they went after the record, but even if they hadn't, I'd still love this car and the fact that Mercedes-Amg was crazy enough to build it.

That thing is insane. Makes me think about the 956 and how impressive it was for its time.

Wow 😳😳😳! And I love the songbird in the background.

the fact that people were saying this car was too slow and heavy…looks like they were looking at the wrong measurements (0-60 for ex).

Daft as it seems, I actually think there’s more potential for an even quicker lap, mainly in the slower corners, also maybe a day with better road conditions, as by the footage track itself looks a little cold. Exceptional driving and lap nonetheless obviously. 👍👍👍

I am an AMG owner since 1997 and still to this day. This achievement makes me very proud as I have always firmly believed in the AMG team’s ability to innovate and provide some of the fastest products in the world. These are great points presented, and really puts this achievement into perspective. I hope the AMG One will also be tested in optimal conditions on the GP track to see what it can do in its “element”. Shots fired to all manufacturers. Let’s see how much further the bar can be raised.

Did you notice where they started and ended the timing? The end was at the "normal" spot just after the last turn. But it started the timing on a strange spot. Between the two "normal" starting points. So they did not do a full lap, but they ran longer than most who skip the small straight.

AMG needs to do a rerun of both the Black Series and the One on a nice dry day. Also the new Super Sports lap record standard now being set is really exciting, hope to see Mclaren with the Senna and Ferrari with the SF90.

The conditions were FAR from good for a lap record! Keep that in mind. Many sections he lifted for not sliding on wet, cold tarmac

Mad respect for Mercedes and AMG for their efforts considering just the few obstacles that we know about to even do this...damn impressive to say the very least!

Props to AMG for thinking about you for the early press release man!

Nice drive. Maybe I was thinking a car like this at this price point should be even faster. But Mercedes had the guts to do the ring. Many other car companies just say they will

6:35.1 and it still seemed like it was a very lazy lap. I bet Merc have more in the tank.

With the new GT2 RS imminent I wonder how fast an MR version will be around the ring considering how rapid the GT3 RS is in stock guise. Will the new gt2rs MR be able to compete with this time? I think it'll be close.

The Mercedes looked more planted crashing the curbs than the GT2 RS MR 6:35 and less scary than Porsche at those crazy speeds.

The essence of life....Speed x Aero x Braking = 🥰

9:36 I'm pretty sure the 918 counts as a hypercar, that one held the record for a good bit

apparently it takes a formula one engine to beat a car with the engine in the wrong place haha

Crazy that at the time I watch this, the actual onboard has only 10k more views! This describes the value of these analysis videos.

That thing is so fast it almost looks sped up and the active aero is awesome

Looked so efortless, and that top speed was insane

The most impressive thing is that the new GT3RS can do 6:49 with half the power and no turbo. But still congrats Merc

The wheel turbulence is so powerful, it manages to lift the wheel lourves little bit on the main straight not sure when but at around: 6:13 to 6:36

I think that 6.20 can be achieved, with better weather and Kevin Estre as driver!!!!

Porsche while watching this: "Please hold my beer, so I can put some MR goodies on the new GT2RS"

Valkyrie/Valhala will destroy that…. It’s probably me but the gear change seems very slow for an « hypercar »

even in not so ideal conditions car looked insanely stable i can easy see 6:29 coming soon with more tuning and better track conditions

An 'AMG TWO' without the F1 stuff and extra weight would be cool

Don´t get me wrong, thats really fast. But I´m not that impressed by that time.

that gearbox is a bit slow for what the car is

Big respect to Mercedes for havn the guts to actually run this car on the nurburg most hypercars barely get driven let alone FLAT OUT at the nurburg by the manufacturer

JUST the fact, that AMG got those kind of numbers, on only its 4th LAP... In the Rain.. On a slippery track... OHHH SNAP... That is impressive. It truly showcases..."Not in this weather"...~old MB commercial.

When it was announced originally to go forward as a car I was thinking, Wow can this thing get closer to 6 min flat than 7 min but then after the delays and weight issues were brought to light I didn’t have much hope for it to obligate the record. It’s fast but should be way faster IMO.

Honestly, I don't care. It's not that fast and you can't drive it flat out without draining the hybrid system, it's so ugly, it's needlessly complicated, it's obscenely expensive, it's all sold out anyway, but it's years overdue (weren't they supposed to be commencing customer deliveries in 2019?), it sounds awful, and I don't think for one moment that it counts as an actual production car. You wouldn't use it to nip to Koblenz or Trier for household cleaning supplies, would you? Whereas a 911 GT3RS or somesuch absolutely can be used for that. I once saw the 997 4.0 press car in my local Tesco car park in southern England. The GT2RS MR is very nearly as fast as the AMG One and much cheaper, much more affordable and much more practical.

Love that sound!!

Mick Schumacher is an F1 driver that rides motorcycles and has even shown up to the track riding. I am sure some drivers do have that in their contract.
