Mercedes-AMG One Hypercar’s $44,100 Service Bill After Just 115 Miles Sparks Auction Buzz

One of only 275 Mercedes-AMG One hypercars ever built is now heading to auction, and its service history is making headlines. The car, finished in a rare €27,500 shade of green known as Reingrün, has covered just 115 miles (185 km) since delivery. Yet its first service at Mercedes-AMG came with a bill of €37,610 ($44,100)—a figure that has stunned enthusiasts and collectors alike.

From F1 Power to Road Legality: The AMG One’s Journey

The Mercedes-AMG One represents a groundbreaking effort to bring Formula 1 technology to the road. After an extended development period, the hybrid hypercar debuted with a powertrain derived from Mercedes’ Formula 1 hybrid system, delivering 1,049 hp and a Nürburgring production car lap record. Production concluded in late 2023, capping the run at 275 units—each a technological marvel.

The $44,100 Service Invoice: What’s Behind the Bill?

Normally, a car with just 115 miles wouldn’t require a service visit. But the owner of this AMG One opted for a Service A at Mercedes-AMG earlier this year, which also extended the warranty through February 2028. The invoice that followed is anything but ordinary:

• 80 hours of labor at €395 ($463) per hour: €31,600 ($37,050)
• Air filter: €1,872.54 ($2,195)
• Transmission oil filter: €2,300 ($2,696)
• Drain plug: €150 ($176)
• Engine oil (10 units): €555.80 ($652)

The labor alone accounts for the bulk of the cost, totaling $383 per mile driven. Mercedes-AMG’s meticulous maintenance of the F1-derived powertrain ensures reliability but comes at a premium.

A Striking Green Finish: The AMG One’s Unique Look

This AMG One stands out not just for its mechanical pedigree but also for its Reingrün paint, a vibrant green shade that costs €27,500 ($32,200)—more than a base Toyota Camry in the U.S. No other AMG One shares this color, making it a one-of-a-kind example.

The exterior features exposed matte carbon fiber across the front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, roof scoop, and shark fin. The wheels are matte black magnesium, paired with gloss-black brake calipers for a striking contrast.

What’s Next for This AMG One?

RM Sotheby’s will auction this extraordinary hypercar later this month. With its minimal mileage and eye-watering service costs, it’s sure to attract bids from collectors who understand the rarity—and the responsibility—of owning a Formula 1-derived road car.
