The active, hydraulically controlled aerodynamics increase downforce on the front and rear axles and also improve aerodynamic efficiency. Depending on the driver’s preference and the selected drive program, three different aerodynamic setups are available:

“Highway” in the “Race Safe”, “Race”, “EV” and “Individual” drive programs:
the louvres are closed, the active flaps on the front diffuser are extended and the rear wing including flap is retracted.

“Track” in the drive programs “Race Plus” and “Strat 2” (both only allowed on the race track):

the front diffuser flaps fold up to shape the front diffuser contour to maximum efficiency. The rear wing extends fully, as does the rear wing flap. The louvres are opened to increase the downforce on the front axle and to increase the negative pressure in the wheel arches. The vehicle is lowered by 37 millimetres at the front axle and 30 millimetres at the rear axle. The consequence of all these measures: the total downforce increases up to five times compared with the road drive programs, depending on the speed.
“Race DRS” (Drag Reduction System), can be activated at the touch of a button as in Formula 1, in the race track drive programs:

the rear wing flap retracts completely and the louvres are closed. Although this reduces downforce by around 20 percent, the Mercedes-AMG ONE reaches high speeds even faster. DRS can be deactivated manually or is automatically deactivated as soon as the driver brakes or lateral acceleration is measured.
