Mercedes-AMG becomes a legend
RADICAL CONCEPT STUDY Mercedes-AMG presents the Concept Pure Speed, which borrows from the design language of legendary Mercedes racing cars to give a preview of the first model in the exclusive Mythos series.
The Mercedes-AMG Pure Speed concept study is a highlight in the run-up to the Formula 1 GP in Monaco. The radical design of a two-seater performance car without a roof and windshield is a homage to motor racing. The concept car also provides a preview of the first model in the limited-edition Mercedes Benz Mythos series. The world premiere of the Concept Mercedes-AMG Pure Speed took place in an exclusive setting on the sidelines of the Monaco Grand Prix. The vehicle was unveiled on a floating pontoon in the Principality's harbor - in front of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
With halo
The Concept Mercedes-AMG Pure Speed celebrates the tradition of Mercedes-Benz with uncompromising racing car design and the latest technology. The small series, limited to 250 units, will only be available to the most dedicated enthusiasts and collectors of Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
One highlight is the Halo system, which replaces the conventional A-pillar on the vehicle. This element, a direct derivation from the premier class of motorsport, protects the driver's head in the event of an accident. In the Concept Mercedes AMG Pure Speed, it consists of a bracket that is connected to the body of the vehicle, just like in Formula 1. The English word halo means halo in German.
Inspired by Hypercar One
The Concept Mercedes AMG Pure Speed is a performance car with a low silhouette. Many design features are inspired by the Mercedes AMG One hypercar. Typical of the car are the long hood and the very low front end with a pronounced sharknose. The precision work of the design team can be seen in many other aerodynamic parts. The two scoops behind the seats are reminiscent of legendary racing cars such as the 300 SLR, in which Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson won the 1955 Mille Miglia.
