Thanks to new engine mapping and hardware, the Agera S was the first Koenigsegg to make over 1,hp on regular, 95 octane pump gasoline, with maximum output of 1,hp. Koenigsegg was the first manufacturer to offer carbonfibre wheels on factory built cars and is still the only OEM making its own carbonfibre wheels in-house.
The Koenigsegg One:1 was the first production car in history to feature a power-to-weight ratio. Truly revolutionary. Around kg was shaved from the already-light Agera R to bring it down to 1,kg.
Koenigsegg matched this with a 1,hp twin-turbo V8 engine when run on E85 biofuel. The One:1 was the most extreme Koenigsegg ever made, offering blistering acceleration along with an amazing 2g of lateral grip.
Examples of features that were especially developed for the One unique track-optimized aero winglets, extended venturi tunnels and side splitters, Le-Mans inspired and top-mounted active wing configuration and optimized active under trim air management. Large air vents for improved cooling, roof air scoop to support the 1 Megawatt of power, RPM rev limit, complemented with custom-made Michelin Cup Tires, upgraded rear Triplex suspension with carbon bevel springs and active shock absorbers and ride height management.
Six customer cars were built, along with one factory development car. Koenigsegg announced a new revolution at Geneva , with the launch of the all-new Koenigsegg Regera. The Regera features three electric motors combined with a powerful twin-turbo V8 and a high-performance, ultra-light battery pack to produce over 1,hp. Even more amazing is that all of this power is sent directly to the rear wheels as the Regera has no gearbox.
The transition from electric to combustion drive is progressive and seamless, providing both blistering performance and the ultimate in comfort. It is also a technology powerhouse with advanced aerodynamics, stability management, software updates and active suspension settings stored in the Koenigsegg cloud.
All of this is developed and managed in-house at Koenigsegg. In , the Koenigsegg Agera R did the same run in Owners will be able to specify any equipment from the Koenigsegg options list — free of charge — and Koenigsegg will also work with owners to develop bespoke aerodynamics that will only ever be used on their car. It is the ultimate expression of the Agera philosophy. Driven by factory driver, Niklas Lilja, the Agera RS attained the highest top speed for a production vehicle.
Calculated using an average of two runs, one in either direction. The record speed achieved is In the same attempt, it clocked The highest average speed for a flying kilometer on a public road was recorded, calculated after running the car in two directions, at Lastly, it also saw the highest speed achieved on a public road single direction , measured at Named after Jesko von Koenigsegg — the father of company Founder and CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg, it inherits the mantle left by the Agera RS as the leading track-focused, road-legal car for those looking for the ultimate in vehicle performance.
The Jesko comes with a redesigned 5. Advanced aerodynamics offer up to kg of downforce and alongside its active rear-wheel steering, result in faster cornering, better maneuverability, improved steering feel, more grip and increased confidence.
This was 1. This manufacturer of high-performance sports cars is based in Sweden and was founded in by Christian von Koenigsegg. Christian von Koenigsegg had always been fascinated with machinery as a boy.
And it was this fascination that led him to dream about creating his perfect sports car. With extraordinary determination, Christian explored the limits of both, technology and innovation to create the car of his dreams, which was called the Koenigsegg CC.
This manifestation of his dream in the form of a Koenigsegg car gave Christian the courage to continue. Thus, the car company that bears his name was born. However the company's first street-legal production car delivery did not happen until The delay is attributed to the years being devoted to research, development and prototyping. As early as the Koenigsegg CC8S became a favourite of the most famous car critic in the world, Mr. Top Gear himself, Jeremy Clarkson.
But to him, it was a mission — to create the perfect car with no compromises, no limits, and no fear of failure. In , at the age of just 22, Christian launched the Koenigsegg car company and set about creating what he believed to be the ultimate car, one for which no technical solution was deemed too difficult. In those early days, however, Christian had to make do with self-belief, imagination and determination in order to create the first working prototype.
Christian sketched the initial technical layout of the car himself and together with a small team working for meager wages, hand-modeled all components for the vehicle. The prototype was completed in — just two years after the project began. The Koenigsegg CC prototype boasted a unique carbon body with a detachable roof.
Despite very limited resources, the chassis, suspension, brakes, wishbones uprights and many other items were all custom designed for the car by Christian and his small team.
The car was completely original and received a lot of attention as a result. Today, 25 years after it was first built, the car still drives perfectly! Christian took the Koenigsegg CC prototype to the Cannes Film Festival in in order to assess interest in the vehicle concept. The reaction to the car was overwhelming and the first international contacts were established.
Christian felt reassured as he pushed towards commercial production. In a relatively short period of time, Christian and his team have become experts in their field, challenging a decades-old supercar establishment. In , Koenigsegg began series production of the CC8S model, a car that was fully homologated and crash tested for the European market. Top Gear — named the CC8S his favorite supercar in fierce competition.
It proved to the world, that, indeed, it is possible for a passionate, dedicated young man to rival the old, established supercar brands. Today, Koenigsegg keeps on setting new records — see records — and employs around full-time staff. Every single detail of a Koenigsegg car is measured against our continuing goal: to enhance vehicle performance.
This is reflected in everything we do. Nothing is insignificant. The way we choose our raw materials, our staff, the setup of our facilities, our software, tools, systems and maintenance. Every aspect of the development process is focused on performance, not only in terms of power and speed, but in every deliverable.
From powertrain to safety — every part must enable the car to deliver the best possible performance. Even the beautiful form of a Koenigsegg has a purpose. Our cars are wind tunnel tested during development and whilst a Koenigsegg is beautiful to the eye, the exterior design also serves a higher purpose, being the most streamlined design available that will accommodate the powertrain, comfort and performance requirements that customers demand of a Koenigsegg car.
When you build a car as powerful as a Koenigsegg, you must remain mindful of the safety of your customers and their surroundings. Given this, we take every measure possible to ensure that customers feel confident in their vehicle whenever they take the wheel. A Koenigsegg is lightweight and balanced, making it both agile and predictable.
