The Swedish hypercarboetseerder coming to the Geneva motor Show with the most extreme they have ever built. A asfaltwapen to make even the Bugatti Veyron SS to the crown to cross, whispers one.
Imagine this: you’re a wealthy Chinese, have recently $ 2 million on the business account of Christian von Koenigsegg deposited, and in the morning in your heated garage to be greeted by a roughly 1400 kg weighing Koenigsegg on your marble floor, with the back of a V8 that just as many horsepower it produces. How big is that grin on your face? Something like this?
Six pieces
The back of 2012, we heard for the first time about this project, followed by an interview with the CEO himself giving more details to the world were made. The Koenigsegg One:1 – where the name refers to the ratio between weight and power – to- will, in an edition of six pieces to be made, mainly focuses on China and is already stiff sold out. And making a profit is not there; Koenigsegg makes hard loss.
450 km/h? Really?
In terms of top speed, aiming them at 450 km/h, only it is very questionable whether this is technically possible. In terms of power will the Swedish beast is nothing short, but a set of tires at such speeds remains intact, that is a different story. What a piece probably is, is that the records on the 0-100, 0-200 and 0-300 km/h-breaking be driven. For the sprint from 0 to 400 km/h aim even at 20 seconds, a phenomenal improvement compared to the 45 seconds that the Veyron needed. But well, that needs to Koenigsegg, however, first to show.
The changes to the appearance are pretty extreme. The front bumper has a splitter received where the complete F1 circus with jealousy to look at the back there is a scaffold responsible for the attachment of a wide spoiler. It is not clear whether this is movable (active) aerodynamics parts. The One:1 gets wheels made of carbon fiber and a centrally positioned exhaust.
GTspirit know today to report that Koenigsegg the Geneva motor Show has been chosen to be the One:1 to the public. That means that we are on the 4th of march everything will find out about this downright bizarre device. Sense in it.
You can call but: is Koenigsegg be able to be the fastest production car in the world, or will Bugatti under the auspices of Piëch not let this happen?
