Concept Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed: Open-Air Speedster Debuts at Monaco Grand Prix

The wraps have come off the stunning Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed concept car, unveiled at the prestigious Formula 1™ Monaco Grand Prix. This radical two-seater throws open the roof and windscreen entirely, offering an exhilarating open-air driving experience that pays homage to motor racing heritage.

Limited Edition of Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed for Collectors

The PureSpeed serves as a glimpse into the upcoming Mercedes-Benz Mythos series, a strictly limited run of just 250 vehicles. Designed for dedicated enthusiasts and collectors, it embodies the pinnacle of Mercedes-AMG exclusivity.

F1® Tech Meets Open-Air Thrill

One of the most striking features is the HALO system replacing the A-pillar. Derived from Formula 1™, this safety element protects occupants while maintaining an unobstructed view. Specially designed helmets and the complete absence of a roof, windscreen, or side windows create an immersive driving experience akin to an F1 car.

Taking Cues from Champions

Drawing inspiration from the Mercedes-AMG ONE hypercar, the PureSpeed boasts a low silhouette with sharply contrasting carbon fiber elements. The unique wheel design features aerodynamically optimized covers, closed at the rear and open at the front for brake cooling and downforce.

Classic Inspiration, Modern Execution

The design language harks back to legendary Mercedes models. The long bonnet, pronounced shark nose, and wide lower air intake all echo the Mercedes-AMG ONE. The rear flying buttresses resemble the iconic 300 SLR, while the paintwork pays homage to the victorious 1924 Targa Florio racer.

A Look Ahead

The Concept Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed offers a glimpse into the future of high-performance driving. Its radical design, open-air experience, and motorsport heritage make it a true collector’s item and a testament to Mercedes-AMG’s commitment to pushing boundaries.
