  • Game on: Volvo FH Truck Racing Against Koenigsegg One:1

    Setting a massive eight-tonne Volvo FH against one of the fastest cars around the world, precisely Koenigsegg One:1, may sound a bit like a joke. Except that it is not. The question though is why? If it is for the spectacular part, no doubt it is going to be spectacular. Not every day you can see Hulk against The Flash! Nevertheless, the main reason for this “rivalry” is to test, once again, the I-Shift Dual Clutch gearbox fitted to the Volvo truck, and see if the FH can cover one lap of the Knutstorp race faster than the Koenigsegg can cover two laps.

    Five red lights. They come on. They go off. And start! Now this is going to be one hell of a race!

    The two vehicles set off and as they do so, Koenigsegg One:1 is already cutting the air with its high speed. The truck, on the other hand, is left to bite the dust behind. We can admit that looking at the video, we can see the Volvo truck struggling just a little bit… or more. Still, the performance makes the hair on your neck stand up. You nearly won, Volvo FH.

    To clarify some of the vehicles’ characteristics, Volvo FH tractor unit delivers 540 horsepower and is equipped, as already pointed out, with I-Shift Dual Clutch. The functionality of its speed limiter has been previously removed in order to give the truck a slightly better chance against its opponent. Thanks to this, Volvo FH reached a speed of almost 130 km/h (80 mph) on the track race. Despite the slight helpful push, it is all about fair play after all, the outcome is still unpredictable.

    The Koenigsegg One:1, on the other hand, is noted as one of the world’s mega-hyper-super-fast cars. Its name One:1 derives from the power 1360 PS and weight 360 kg. The exact ratio of 1:1 is a combination that no other sports car manufacturer has managed to achieve ever before. The engine of this Koenigsegg produces more than 1000 Nm of torque between 3000 and 7500 rpm and is capable of 0-100 km / h (0-62 mph) in less than 2 seconds.

  • BHP Project Releases Renderings of Koenigsegg Automotive AB One:1

    BHP-Project-Koenigsegg-One-THUMBBHP Project are specialist who need our attention, because they are currently working on a Koenigsegg One:1. This is one of the most dreamt of car globally, which we have seen in movies such as “Need for Speed” and so rarely on the streets. The tuners are putting careful thoughts and changing their minds several times in the last months, so that they can present the official renderings of the Koenigsegg Automotive AB One:1. Yes, that’s the name.

    BHP decided to go for a combination of clear and also blue tinted carbon with triple layered pearlescent white stripes to highlight the lines and features of the exclusive sports car. And we must confirm that it looks just incredible and we really can’t wait to see its official photos.

    Furthermore, the car was dubbed as the first megacar in the world. It is powered by a twin-turbo V8 5.0-liter engine, which produces 1,341 horsepower (1,000 kW) and 1,371 Nm (1,011 lb-ft) of torque. The top speed is simulated and is measured a 440 km/h (273 mph). The sprint from 0 to 400 km/h is covered by the car in around 20 seconds.

    The car will be finished early next year, so we have to wait until then. Deliveries will take place early next year through the official Koenigsegg dealer – SuperVettura. Only nine examples of this AB One:1 will ever be built and sold. They are only with a right-hand drive configuration.

    No words on pricing, but we are sure that Koenigsegg Automotive AB One:1 will be one of the most expensive automobile in the world.

  • If Koenigsegg One:1 Was Driven By Dubai Police

    Koenigsegg-Agera-One-Dubai-Police-THUMBDubai Police is probably the luckiest police department in the world because it is famous for driving some of the most expensive, exclusive and fastest cars in the world. In their fleet we have already seen Mercedes-Benz G-Class tuned by Brabus, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Aston-Martins and Lamborghinis. It was even speculated that a Bugatti has joined the exclusive line-up of Dubai police vehicles, however – soon proven wrong by A. Kahn Design.What we have found over Facebook recently is an interesting render which shows how a Koenigsegg One:1 would look like if it has been attributed to this famous department. It is made by the creative digital artist and photographer Santapanter (real name is Teun Verwijmeren).Dubai Police One:1 features unique exterior treatment – it is dressed in white, but has green and black accents all over its body. Carbon fiber is visible almost everywhere: on the top-cover, hood, rear wing, side sills, front and rear bumpers, rearview mirrors. Even the five-spoke wheels were made of this material.Koenigsegg One:1 was unveiled one week ahead of Geneva Auto Show, where it made is official premiere. It is world’s fastest production car, generating 1,341 horsepower (986 kW) and 1,371 Nm (1,011 lb-ft) of torque at 6,000RPM thanks to its 5.0 liter twin-turbocharged V8 aluminum engine.This almost unbelievable amount of power is transmitted on the road through a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox, which sends it to an electronic differential at the rear wheels. If you wonder about its top speed – well, it is 440 km/h (273 mph). The car covers the sprint from 0 to 400 km/h in just 20.0 seconds. And definitely this makes it perfect for the police department in Dubai.

  • Koenigsegg One:1 – Officially Unveiled – 1,341HP and 1,371 Nm

    Koenigsegg has finally revealed full details about their mega car – One:1. It is set to become the world’s fastest production car and according to us – it will.

    The extremely powerful vehicle 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), it has a power-to-weight ratio of 1:1.

    The power is put on the road through a dual-clutch 7-speed gearbox sending it to an electronic differential at the rear wheels. 0-400 km/h in 20.0 seconds. The engine can run not only on regular gasoline, but also with E85 biofuel as well as race fuel.

    Other highlights include carbon ceramic braking system from Agera R, updated rear triplex suspension with active shock absorbers and carbon bevel springs and a set of huge wheels fitted with high performance tires.

    The braking system features 397mm front power-assisted ventilated ceramic discs with 6-piston calipers at the front and 380mm with 4-piston calipers at the rear. It is able to stop the car from 100 km/h to 0 in 28 meters and from 400 km/h to 0 in less than 10 seconds.

    The mega car rolls 19” front and 20” rear carbon fiber wheels fitted with Michelin Cup Tires which have a speed rating of 440 km/h (273 mph).

    Last, but not least, the One:1 has weight balance of 44% at the front and 56% at the rear, just like the Agera R.

    2014 Koenigsegg One:1 will be built in a limited series of just 6 units and all of them have already been sold. One of these will be showcased at the 84th Geneva Motor Show, next week.
