Manchester City's Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, considered one of the most decisive scorers in European football, not only arouses passion on the pitch for his reliability in the area but also for the collection of cars he has. The star of the English team, top scorer in the Premier League, with 18 goals in 23 games, is about to add a Mercedes-AMG One to his garage, an exclusive 3.2 million euro hypercar that has only been manufactured 275 units.
According to the British newspaper The Sun, echoing a news article published by the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv, Haaland is about to complete the purchase of a Mercedes-AMG One. The footballer would have placed the order for this impressive supercar, equipped with technology of a Formula 1 car, along with his compatriot Ole Ertvaag, one of Norway's largest car collectors and founder of the investment company Hitecvision.
The Mercedes-AMG One is a high-performance hybrid sports car, although its electric range of 18 kilometers is practically negligible. The hypercar's powertrain is made up of a 1.6-liter turbo V6 engine and four electric motors, which offer more than 1,000 HP of power (782 kW). It reaches a top speed of 350 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds.
The Mercedes-AMG One engine is comparable to that used by the brand's Formula 1 cars during its streak of seven titles in a row between 2014 and 2020 when the British Lewis Hamilton (6 titles) and the German Nico Rosberg (1) starred in the most brilliant stage of the German team on circuits around the world.
The Mercedes-AMG One also stands out for its stylized silhouette. It is known for its aerodynamic design and lightweight construction, which combines carbon fiber, aluminum and other advanced materials to maximize performance and effectiveness. In addition, it has an adjustable suspension system and active aerodynamics that automatically adapt to ensure optimal handling in different driving conditions.
On the other hand, its interior offers exceptional luxury with high-quality materials and cutting-edge technology, including customizable digital screens and advanced assistance systems to provide a unique and comfortable driving experience.
Haaland's taste for luxury cars is not new. The Manchester City footballer has been seen with a Ferrari SP2 Monza, in images published by the Instagram account theluxuryscene in July 2023. Until the news of Haaland's latest acquisition, the car from the Manchester City brand, has emerged Prancing horse, with an estimated price of 1.8 million euros, was the most expensive vehicle attributed to the Norwegian striker.
The other cars linked to Haaland, according to various media, have a market value significantly lower than what the footballer has paid for the Mercedes AMG One and the Ferrari SP2 Monza. They are a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Range Rover Sport P510e First Edition, a Mercedes AMG GLE 63 S4 Matic Coupé and an Audi RS6 Avant Performance Quattro, which range from 150,000 euros for the latter to 300,000 euros for the former.
Nothing compared to the Mercedes-AMG One, whose limited production makes it an exclusive car available to very few. Not only due to the fact that only 275 units have been produced, but also due to the high cost - above 3 million euros -, to which we must add other associated expenses, such as insurance and the maintenance required to take into account. optimal conditions for the hypercar.
