Bloomberg on Koenigsegg
Interesting read:
Most Popular Hypercar by Koenigsegg Starts at $1.4 Million Price - Businessweek
Most Popular Hypercar by Koenigsegg Starts at $1.4 Million Price
One:1 part:
The One:1 is named after its ambition to be the first assembly-line vehicle to truly achieve a one-to-one ratio of weight and horsepower. If successfully produced, it will weigh 1,400 kilograms and put out 1,400 horsepower, a quantum leap over the 965 horsepower of the base-model Agera.
“Other cars have achieved this but by measuring dry weight -- no oil, no water, no fuel,” von Koenigsegg says.
His number will take into account all the necessary fluids and even the driver. Computer simulations project that the One:1 will be the fastest Koenigsegg yet, capable of 450 kph or more. If the computers are correct, it will also be the fastest car in the world from zero to 200, from zero to 300 and from zero to 400. Engineers expect the last number to be around 20 seconds. To put that in perspective, it takes the Bugatti Veyron 45 seconds to achieve 400 kph. Von Koenigsegg expects to have a prototype by the end of the year.
