Since 1957, the Dewar Trophy has been awarded for “outstanding British technical achievement in the automotive field over the previous year. » This year, this award from the Royal Automobile Club went to Mercedes-AMG for incorporating the powertrain into their Project One hypercar.
“Receiving the Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club is a huge honor for everyone involved in the development of the Mercedes-AMG One », said Adam Allsopp, director of advanced technologies at Mercedes-AMG HPP. “Giving owners the opportunity to get a small taste of what has contributed to the success of the Mercedes-AMG F1 team in Formula 1 in the hybrid era, and making it road legal without losing Formula 1 DNA was a huge challenge, but one that we fully embraced. We are very happy to have made this a reality. »
“It was a unanimous decision to award the Dewar Trophy to Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains, added Ben Cussons, Chairman of the Dewar technical committee. Getting the AMG ONE into production is a remarkable achievement, and with the power units manufactured in Northamptonshire and the cars assembled in Coventry – a city with a rich automotive heritage – it’s a great story for British engineering. »
Apart from a Drag Reduction System (DRS), the hypercar also features active aerodynamics, adaptive suspension, a carbon monocoque and a high-tech drivetrain.
