  • New Koenigsegg Regera Teased Again

    Earlier this month, the supercar manufacturer from Sweden, Koenigsegg, announced that they are planning to reveal a new RS variant of their Agera during the upcoming 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Now we are given a teaser image which supplies us with even more questions than answers. From a visional standpoint, the only thing that we can see is part of the car’s front bumper. Moreover, the vehicle will feature a brand new headlight design.

    Previously it has been reported that the new Koenigsegg Regera is going to be a hell of a ‘megacar’ similar to the One:1 which is the most powerful production car for the time being. If this turns out to be the absolute truth, we will be able to see yet another mighty automotive beast which will be dazzling with at least 1,341 HP. Finally, Koenigsegg claims that the Regera will be packed with extensive luxurious flavor and revolutionary technology.

    Just as a reminder, Koenigsegg One:1 has a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 aluminum engine – 1,341 HP (986 kW) and 1,371 Nm (1,011 lb-ft) at 6,000RPM. The curb weight is exactly 1,341 kg (2,956 lbs). The engine is mated to a dual-clutch 7-speed gearbox sending the power to an electronic differential at the rear wheels. 0-400 km/h in 20.0 seconds. Additionally, the engine can run on regular gasoline, as well as with E85 biofuel and race fuel.

    We’ll have more information soon!

  • Koenigsegg Agera with Carbon Wheels and 1400HP

    What you will buy, if you are a petrol head and you own the half of China? Of course, a Koenigsegg Agera will do the work perfectly, but a lot of people have one, so yours should be a little different. Some body work and a new set of wheels probably will be good.The wealthy Chinese businessman ordered the special edition Agera through a Shanghai dealer.Agera R is one of the most powerful vehicles in the world. It has a 5.0 liter twin-turbo V8 delivering more than a thousand HP and Nm of torque. 0-100 km/h in less than 3 seconds and a top speed of more than 220 mph. However, the one-off Agera (on the picture) is boosted to whopping 1400HP (1044 kW).The special edition Agera also gets more aggressive front with a lower front splitter and a carbon fiber air scoop on the fixed roof. There is also a big wing on the rear for more downforce.Other impressive thing of Agera is the brake system – 100-0 km/h in 30.5 m.Nothing is mentioned about the price, which the businessman paid.

  • Koenigsegg Agera R BLT for China

    Koenigsegg has released images of the BLT, which is a special edition of the Agera R.

  • 2013 Koenigsegg Agera R at Geneva Motor Show

    2013-Koenigsegg-Agera-R-at-2012-Geneva-Motor-Show-THUMBAt the 2012 Geneva Auto Salon the brand Koenigsegg have launched the new 2013 Koenigsegg Agera R model, which features the industry first Aircore™ wheel technology, Triplex suspension and the astonishing 1140 horsepower output. An important highlight here is that the 2013 Agera R features the world’s first hollow, one piece, super light carbon fiber wheel. It was made through the method named Aircore™ Technology, which is unique technology developed by the brand. Thank to it, the Aircore™ wheels save close to 20kg in mass, while at the same time providing great integrity and safety. In particular, the only metal part in the wheel is the tire valve; all rest is once piece hollow carbon. Secondly, the Agera and the Agera R include the first production engines in the world which use nano-surfaced cylinder sleeves, which in addition are used for reduction of friction and fuel consumption. Next, it is important to mention that the new in-house developed engine management system provides added functionality and meets all OBD II regulations.

    To go further into details, the rev limiter has been raised from 7250rpm to 7500rpm, which allows the power to be raised from 940 (691 kW) to 960hp (706 kW) on 98 Ron (93 din) fuel for the Agera; and from 1115 (820 kW) to 1140hp (838 kW) for the Agera R on E85. In addition, the unique Triplex suspension (which now comes as a standard on 2013 Agera R) was developed by the work of collaboration between Koenigsegg and the Swedish shock manufacturer Öhlins Racing. Furthermore, in the vehicle is also featured as a standard the one of a kind Koenigsegg Electronic Stability (KES). What is more, a new and significantly lighter rear exhaust section has been developed for the Agera R. It improves as well the performance of the rear diffuser. At last, the the new front and side winglets of the Agera R provide 20kg more downforce at 250km/h, as well as reduced drag.

    Recent record achieved by 2013 Koenigsegg Agera R:

    – 0-300 km/h in 14.53 sec

    – 300-0 km/h in 6.66 sec

    – 0-200 mph in 17.68 sec

    – 200-0 mph in 7.28 sec

  • Koenigsegg Agera R with MOV’IT

    Koenigsegg Agera R was introduced at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. The hyper-car is set to dethrone the Veyron Grand Sport on every known discipline.

    Agera R is powered by a unique 5.0 liter twin-turbo V8 with 1115PS (820 kW) at 6900RPM, which is a bit less than the mighty Veyron Grand Sport, but the Agera R is much lighter. The maximum torque is 1200Nm (885 lb-ft) at 4100RPM as over 1000Nm are available from just 2700RPM. The performance is brutal – from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and to 200 km/h in 7.5 seconds. The top speed is theoretical 440 km/h (273 mph), but the car is electronically limited to “just” 375 km/h (233 mph).

    Other impressive result is 0-200-0, which is covered in 12.7 seconds and the stopping distance from 100 km/h to stand still is just 30.5m. However, this is improved by MOV’IT GmbH from Ottersweier in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The manufacturer produces braking systems for Formula 1, so the expectations are huge.

    “We are pleased to present both our system expertise and our ability to be an industry partner once again. It is underpinned by our new strategic direction which began together with our reorganization in 2010.  The MOV’IT got its name making high-performance braking systems in the field of tuning and aftermarket in the past, but we have managed to gain confidence of small volume manufacturers and special series of major automobile manufacturers as the real alternative in the course of a very short time. Current accounts, numerous interviews and projects with the most premium German manufacturers emphasize this.” said Frank Scherer, director of the MOV’IT GmbH and CEO of the MOV’IT Group.

    The MOV’IT-ceramic braking system helped Agera R to set a new world record for the shortest stopping time from 300 km/h to 0 km/h – 6.66 seconds.

  • Koenigsegg Agera R specs

    Koenigsegg has recently unveiled the brutal Agera R at the Geneva Show.

    The hyper car is powered by a 5.0 liter twin-turbo V8 with blistering 1115PS (820 kW) at 6900RPM and the red line is a bit after that – 7250RPM. The maximum torque is 1200Nm (885 lb-ft) at 4100RPM, but over 1000Nm is available from 2700 to 6170RPM. 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, to 200 km/h in 7.5 seconds.

    A really hard discipline 0 to 200 and back to stand still is done in just 12.7 seconds. The brakes are so hard, that when you press them to the metal, you will have the feeling that your face will be taken off. The breaking distance from 100 km/h to stand still is 30.5m.

    One of the most interesting about the car is the weight-to-power ratio: 1.19 kg/hp. The car has a curb weight of 1435 kg and with over a thousand horsepower, it is a real adventure to drive it.

    Agera R has special Vortex Generating Rim (VGR) wheels wrapped in Michelin tires, which are specially developed for the hyper car and can hold a speeds up to 419 km/h (260 mph).
