Mercedes-AMG has unveiled an innovative concept car called the Concept Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed, marking the debut of its Mythos series. This unique vehicle premiered on a floating platform at the Monaco Grand Prix, attended by prominent Formula 1 drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, highlighting its appeal to high-end automotive enthusiasts.
The PureSpeed is an open-top, two-seater that draws inspiration from the speedster models favored by Ferrari and Aston Martin in recent years. It features no roof, windshield, or side windows, with the only protection for passengers in a potential rollover being a Formula 1-style Halo. This model appears to cater to fans who aspire to emulate George Russell but may not have access to the high-priced AMG One hypercar. As a bonus, the car comes equipped with two specially designed aerodynamic helmets.
Notably, the PureSpeed’s wheels feature carbon fiber cladding, designed to enhance aerodynamics with a more closed-off rear and greater airflow at the front for cooling. The sloped front end, resembling a “shark nose,” adds a quirky touch while serving an aerodynamic function. Interestingly, the PureSpeed is designated as No. 10, despite the current AMG Formula 1 drivers not competing with that number; that honor belongs to Alpine’s Pierre Gasly.
Inside the vehicle, a custom clock created by IWC adds a luxurious touch to the dashboard. While Mercedes has not yet disclosed specific details about the car’s performance, powertrain, or pricing, it assures potential buyers that these figures are not expected to be modest. What is limited, however, is the production run, with only 250 units of the PureSpeed set to be manufactured.
In summary, the Concept Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed stands out as a daring and exclusive addition to the luxury automotive market, aimed at those seeking an exhilarating driving experience combined with distinctive design elements..
