The German firm, a part of Mercedes-Benz, announced it's now testing the supercar -- with its final powertrain turned all the way up to 1,000 horsepower.

The One's seen its delays, but it's no easy task plopping a Formula One engine into a road car.

The automaker has already spent hundreds of hours developing the car digitally, and it's undergone real-world tests on the dyno, which replicated some harsh on-track conditions.

Its F1-derived powertrain uses a tiny 1.6-liter V6 in conjunction with four electric motors to put out more than 1,000 horsepower.

The automaker has a planned production run of 275 cars, and each will cost the euro equivalent of $2.72 million.
