Koenigsegg Agera One:1 World’s Fastest Supercar Secrets Revealed [Video] Koenigsegg Agera One:1 is the latest hypercar that is coming from the stable of one of the world’s best supercar makers. It develops 1340 (1360 PS) Bhp of power and will be built in a limited units totalling 6 and all of them are sold already! The new car from Koenigsegg has achieved a dream power to weight ratio of 1 Horsepower per Kg of weight and has been homologated to as the world’s first production car that produces a full MegaWatt of power and hence it has been called a Megacar ever since. The supercar is a result of a demand for such a car from a Chinese distributor who had 4 customers who wished to buy a Koenigsegg track car. Christian von Koenigsegg is the owner of this company and as you will see on the video he goes into the details of the R&D process and gives away some of the secrets behind building this supercar. He goes details such as the sophisticated suspension and weight saving tactics amongst other useful information about this car. The prototype weights around 1360 kgs but according to Koenigsegg the production cars will have a weight of around 1330 to 1340 kgs. This is remarkable considering the fact that the Agera One:1 will come with a fully functional air conditioning, stereo music system, central locking, ESP, ABS, Power windows and yet they have found a way to make it lighter and faster. The Agera One:1 will have a Le-Mans inspired active wing that will produce downforce of over 600 kgs. It will have larger air vents for cooling, active undertrim air management systems, a roof mounted air scoop, exhaust system built out of titanium, a triplex suspension system that now brings carbon bevel springs with active shock absorbers for ride height adjustment. The engine will be a 5.0 litre V8 from the Agera R supercar but it is modified to produce a lot more power. Of the 6 units that will be produced, 4 will go to China and 2 will be sent to the 2 British customers. The R&D unit will remain at the Koenigsegg factory as the only unit that will not be sold. wow impressive one kg one hp! 0-400 in 20 seconds more impressive the china bought 4 out of 6 world production!

There's no doubt that Swedish automaker Koenigsegg knows how to make some of the world's fastest production cars that ever exists. The company even makes sure that the twin-turbo 5.0-litre V8 engine of its production cars will run on E85 fuel. However, unfortunately, some places in this world just aren't quite ready for such fuel yet, just like in Singapore. So, keeping that in mind, it seems that despite the total power output of 927bhp offered by the Agera or 1,124bhp offered by the Agera R, neither of the models is really quite of our interest here in Singapore. That's not to mention the highly demanding price tag of the super car. However, realising that, Koenigsegg has finally produced the Agera S. Unlike its elder brothers, the Koenigsegg Agera S doesn't need ethanol to be mixed into its fuel. It'll run just fine with the fuel we already have here. In addition to that, this fine super car is quite powerful as well, offering the power of up to 1,040 horses. With all the advantages that it has, the Koenigsegg Agera S comes with a demanding price tag of around USD$4.2 million (approximately S$5.3 million). Yet, despite the price tag, the fourth example in the world has already met its new owner, who is a Singaporean. Yes, Koenigsegg recently introduced the Agera S here, at a special reception which was attended even by the founder of Koenigsegg Automotive AB himself, Mr. Christian von Koenigsegg. The reception took place at the Hotel Ritz Carlton Millenia on 14th June 2013. As it was private, the reception was only open to 200 VIPs and guests. The lucky person to have the fastest production car on our shores happened to be Ms. Angela Tan, wife of Mr. Denis Chua, an investor. According to Mr. Chua, he and his wife bought the car after having test-driven it personally in Sweden. Hand-crafted by Swedish skilled artisans with enhanced aerodynamics in mind, the Swedish luxury super car can go from 0-100km/h within a mere 2.9 seconds. In addition to that, the car will stop climbing speed only after it has reached a speed of at least 400km/h. How does that sound? The Koenigsegg Agera S super car was introduced to us here by the Motorway Group of Companies. This is a rental car company that also serves as a pre-owned luxury car specialist. If you are wondering, the car is available in both right and left-hand drive. Photo credits: Nicholas TJR

When you have what it takes (and by that, I mean the money), there's no need to worry whether or not you will get what you want, even from such a world class automaker as Koenigsegg. At least, this is what happens in China. The Swedish automaker has built a stunning gold-plated Koenigsegg Agera R, and gives it the name Zijin, most likely specifically by request. The car seems to suit its name really well. It's painted with brilliant purple on the outside - a one-off finish which will really catch your eyes - and features gold on the inside. Just for your information, 'Zijin' is a Chinese word meaning 'purple gold'. However, don't be mistaken as not the entire interior is made of gold. The interior components that are gold plated include the centre console, air vent surrounds, steering wheel trim, and also a wide array of knobs and buttons. Well, to be honest with you, even if I had the money, there's no way I would have decorated my hypercar with the precious metal, although the metal did make the car look nice somehow. One problem I would be worried about is the added weight of the vehicle. Nevertheless, this doesn't seem to be a problem whatsoever in this case. To overcome the weight problem of this particularly made-for-Chinese car, Koenigsegg has decided to make use of its 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine which is capable of delivering 1040bhp.
