This Mercedes-AMG One Had $44,000 in Maintenance Work Done After Just 115 Miles

This Mercedes-AMG One maintenance ordeal highlights the steep upkeep costs for a $2.7 million hypercar. RM Sotheby's is handling the sale of one of 275 F1-inspired units, and the 115-mile example recently completed the factory-recommended Service A in February 2026 at 37,610.15 euros (about $44,100). The invoice itemizes 80 hours of labor at $463 per hour and parts including a 2,190 euro air filter and a 2,195 euro transmission oil filter, plus a $176 oil drain plug and $650 of oil. The substantial bill underscores the demanding care required for this extreme machine. Under the hood, the AMG One combines a Formula 1–derived 1.6-liter turbo V6 with four electric motors and an 8.4 kWh battery, delivering 1,063 horsepower and a curb weight of 3,737 pounds. It reaches 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 218 mph. In 2024, Maro Engel set a Nürburgring Nordschleife lap of 6:29.09 in Strat 2, illustrating its track capability, while Mercedes issued a recall for hydraulic rear-wing components that could leak flammable fluid. The factory warranty has been extended through 2028, reflecting the car’s complexity and ongoing maintenance needs.
