Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg has debuted their game-changing machine in the Geneva Motor Show.
Carbon fiber is designed throughout, and never only the obvious stuff
such as the monocoque body, and that is interwoven with Kevlar. From its
seats to its wheels are composite, to keep your mass down to some
feathery 1, 360 kg, or 2, 998 pounds, including all fluids and 50% of
their fuel. Actually, that is in which the One : 1 will get its
namesake, one horsepower to each and every kilogram of mass. 3D-printed
titanium bits are used throughout also, forming the exhaust tip and many
of the innards of their twin turbochargers.
Set to bring a swipe in the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport to its "world's fastest" crown, the Koenigsegg Agera One : 1's twin-turbo 5. 0-liter V8 will generate 1, 341 horsepower and 1, 011 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to some 7-speed dual-clutch paddle-shift transmission funneling power with an electronic diff. Though it is the first road car to create one megawatt of power, the actual achievement comes as weight savings.
The result‘s a mind-bending 0-400 kph (248 mph ) time of 20 seconds. At those speeds, in an effort to maintain connection with planet Earth a complex system of vents funnel air through one‘s body and active aerodynamics are employed liberally. Especially, a hinge-less dynamic venturi flap actually flexes under the One : 1's carbon nose at speeds above 250 kph to draw more air under one‘s body, sucking it to the bottom. A Le Mans-style top-mounted spoiler is electronically controlled and hydraulically actuated into one among three positions : low drag, braking, and high-downforce.

A high speed of 440 kph (273 mph ) is reached on computer simulations, but has yet to become proven inside the field. In that case, that will cause it to be the world's fastest production car, besting the recently crowned Hennessey Venom GT. Unfortunately, only six will certainly be built, thus producing the numbers too small for memorialization inside the Guinness record books.
