The Mercedes-AMG ONE: A car that made history, before it was built.
A documentary by Cutting Edge Productions, produced by Tina Preschitz and directed by Jochen Schmoll.
In 2015, Mercedes-AMG set out to crack one of the last barriers within the automotive industry: The first street legal Hypercar with F1 Technology.
What started with big promises from the AMG-Management and highest expectations from not only a handpicked crowd of 275 buyers, but the automotive industry and beyond, soon turned into a project that put the image of the entire Mercedes group at stake: misfires, problems, delays, frustrations, tensions within the management and the teams, and the rising pressure from all sides– failure was not an option.
Six years in the making, this for sure was a milestone, worth to be documented. As the pinnacle of an ending era and the step stone into the future of PERFORMANCE, this car is for sure, ONE of its kind. Mercedes-AMG granted Cutting Edge unrestricted access to their teams, management, partners, and archives.
Interviews with Lewis Hamilton, David Coulthard, Susie Wolff, Victoria Swarovski, FIA president Dr. Ben Sulayem, Mat Watson, as well as the Mercedes and AMG management, engineers, mechanics, designers, software developers and car builders give the ultimate and honest insight into all aspects of PROJECT ONE, and a behind-the-scenes look at how automotive history was being made.
In 1971, Motor Racing fan Roman Polanski spent a weekend with world champion driver Jackie Stewart as he attempted to win the Monaco Grand Prix.
Polanski was given intimate access to Stewart’s world for three days, both on the track and off. The result is an extraordinarily rare glimpse into the life of a gifted athlete at the height of his powers. Forty years on, Polanski and Stewart meet once again. In a remarkable post-script, they discuss the sport, both past and present, with a unique and unmatched perspective.
