You know how the Koeniggsegg Agera R just isn’t quite fast enough? Yeah, right! Well if it isn’t, Sweden’s supercar maker is building a new model that certainly will be. Photos of the green Agera that have been floating around the net over the last week have been confirmed by Koenigsegg to be the new One:1 supercar. Christian Von Koenigsegg verified rumours after scans from a brochure were leaked online.
The odd choice of name becomes more apparent when you consider the power to weight ratio of the car: an astronomical 1bhp per kilogram! It is estimated to produce between 1250-1350bhp, easily topping the 1140bhp that the Agera R produces.
With that power-to-weight ratio, the new Koenigsegg should be able to beat the Bugatti Veyron’s 0-62 time of 2.5 seconds, and theoretically become the worlds fastest production car.
Unlike the recently spotted Agera S, the Koenigsegg One:1 is not just a one-off. Production is limited to just five units, all destined for the Chinese market. It will cost in the region of $2 million.
Christian von Koenigsegg has said the project is in its early stages with no date set for arrival.
