Twin turbo 5.0 litre, 940bhp and 737lb torque. If you want to fill it with biofuel you'll get 1115bhp and 885lb torque. It weighs 1350kgs which is 600kgs less than the Veyron with comparable outputs.
Koenigsegg say it'll do 250mph plus which sounds realistic.

It is turbocharged, or supercharged? Or does the guy who did the website not understand either?

It is sure turbo charged : the Agera use the new Borgd Warner EFR turbos, top of the line technology :
"Turbo response is of vital importance when it comes to driving pleasure and the possibility to control massive amounts of power.
Therefore Koenigsegg has joined forces with Borg Warner and adapted to the latest technology when it comes to turbine
materials. The Agera R turbines are made from a material called Gamma-Ti which is an inter metallic compound comprised of
aluminium and titanium. This new material drastically reduces the inertia of the turbine wheel and axle and therefore gives
improved response. Furthermore Koenigsegg has coupled this latest generation turbo technology with patent pending and
proprietary response/back pressure reduction system, invented by Christian von Koenigsegg to really give the Agera engine a
competitive edge when combining maximum power while complying with the strictest emission regulations in the world."
Everyone should read the excellent Koenigsegg Agera R Press release
The engine pics shows now two airboxes whereas the Agera prototype from Geneva 2010 with the old engine (twin supercharged) had the CCXR carbon airbox on the left of the engine.
