Revealed: 1,340-Horsepower Koenigsegg One:1 supercar

• Koenigsegg ONE:1 has finally revealed and is all set to become the world’s fastest production car. The Swedish company have set out their success in intricate detail. With 5 Guiness World Records to their name, 5 generations of the Koenigsegg philosophy and 100 happy customers, Koenigsegg are taking their platform to a new level with the One:1.

• Power: The Koenigsegg One:1 offers 1 megawatt of power which means it delivers no less than 1,341 HP/PS (986 kW) and a  peak torque of 1,371 Nm (1,011 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm from a V8 5.0-liter aluminum engine, mated to a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox with an electronic differential included.

• The supercar weighs just 1,341 kg (2,956 lbs) which provides the vehicle with a magic 1:1 power-to-weight ratio. Koenigsegg have chosen not to release a 0-100 km/h time (quite frankly it would be low enough to almost render it irrelevant!). Instead, they quote a 0 – 400 km/h (around 250 mph) time of approximately 20 seconds and 400 – 0 km/h in approximately 10 seconds. The car is also said to achieve a braking distance of just 28 metres from 100-0 km/h.

• Wheels and Braking: The One:1 rides on 19-inch front / 20-inch carbon fiber wheels covered in custom Michelin Cup Tires which have a speed rating of 273 mph (440 km/h). The braking system has been carried over from the Agera R so the One:1 packs 397mm front power-assisted ventilated ceramic discs with six-piston calipers while at the back it has ventilated ceramic discs measuring 380mm with four-piston calipers. Koenigsegg has updated the rear triplex suspension with active shock absorbers and carbon bevel springs.

Koenigsegg One:1

• Fuel:The Koenigsegg One:1′s engine takes Koenigsegg’s flex fuel philosophy even further as it now runs on E85 biofuel, Racefuel or normal petrol.
• Price: Despite the price being undisclosed (certainly in the multiple million price range) there are a number of options. The features include one piece racing bucket seats, active shock absorber settings, a full clear carbon body, custom body striping, upgraded audio system, painted calipers, personalized logo on rear hood, anodized black aluminium interior, custom leather One:1 custom luggage set, custom diamond encrusted key, titanium exhaust outlet, active noise cancellation, 3G telematics system and the variable turbo geometry.Only 6 of these cars will leave the factory. The majority are headed to wealthy Chinese customers, although we have been told that two will remain in Europe!
