Koenigsegg One:1

The Koenigsegg One:1 was built in just seven examples with the first being a working prototype. The name “One:1” is derived from the car’s amazing horsepower-to-kilogram weight ratio, which as you probably guessed is 1:1. A sibling of the 2013 Koenigsegg Agera R, the One:1 effectively raised the bar for performance and was dubbed the world’s first megacar, being able to produce a total of 1 megawatt of power (about 1341.02 horsepower.) It also produced a maximum torque of 1011 pound-feet at 6,000 rpm. The most interesting part is that the One:1 is able to run on a number of different fuels, including normal gasoline, race fuel, and believe it or not, E85 biofuel. All six production models were sold out before the car even made its official debut, claiming around $2.4 million from the deep pockets of each purchaser.

The Koenigsegg One:1 pretty much became an immediate legend in the supercar world, but as far as power goes, it has already been trumped by the 2017 Koenigsegg Regera. Be that as it may, the One:1 still paved the way for the next-gen models that will build upon the highest performance standard of any supercar manufacturer on this planet. With that said, let’s take a good look at the world’s first megacar and everything that makes it one of the best models ever to roll out of Koenigsegg’s manufacturing facility.

Updated 08/13/2015: The new Koenigsegg One:1 will be making its North American debut during Classic Car Week in Monterey , California. The model to be displayed in the States is the last from the six customer cars built by Koenigsegg and will be delivered to its American owner in the near future.

The designers at Koenigsegg left no stone unturned to make the One:1 as aerodynamically efficient as possible. The result is a hypercar that looks more like a track-only rig than a road-legal car.

To optimize cooling, the car features two large intercooler intakes on the sides along with numerous gills and radiators. Also present is a huge

dynamic rear wing to give the best combination of downforce, drag and braking. The only thing this extreme in terms of the looks and aerodynamics is probably the Pagani Zonda R , but let’s not forget that it’s not street-legal.

Bathed with carbon fiber, the gills, air flow directors, mirrors, rear wing, air scoops and the vertical stabilizer add to the performance as well as the ferocious look of the car, so it can’t really be mistaken for an Agera.

Other options include full-naked carbon body, custom body stripes, titanium exhaust outlets and painted brake calipers if the it still doesn’t feel special enough to you.

Compared to the exterior, the interior is less extreme. Extensive use of weight-saving material along with removal of unnecessary luxuries have contributed to a lower curb weight.

Bathed in carbon fiber and dark Alcantara highlighted with orange accents, the interior of the One:1 has a purpose-built appearance.

This is where the One:1 really shines. Powered by Koenigsegg’s 5.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 engine that can burn biofuel, race fuel or standard gasoline for flexibility.

Koenigsegg hasn’t announced the 0-to-60 time for the One:1 and for a car this fast it would be pointless. Instead, it let us know that this hypercar

can rocket to 400 km/h (248 mph) in about 20 seconds. My best estimate on a 0-to-60 time of this beast would be the 2.5-second range — maybe even quicker.

Power is rated at 1 MW (1,341 horsepower) — things are ridiculous when you’re measuring a car’s output in megawatts — with a peak torque of 1,371 Nm (1011 pound-feet) available at 6000 rpm.

Add to the outrageous power output the use of advanced M55J high modulus fibers to decrease the weight of the chassis by 20 percent compared to the standard Agera chassis, and the result is a car with a dry weight of just 2,954 pounds. To put that in perspective the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has a weight of 4,052 pounds and 1,200 horses propelling it.

Top speed for the car has not yet been officially announced by Koenigsegg, as it said "Top speed has not been a priority." They aren’t fooling anyone, considering the fact that the car comes fitted with custom Michelin Cup Tires with a speed rating of 440 km/h (273 mph).

In keeping with its status of excess, the Koenigsegg One:1 comes with an exorbitant beyond measure price tag of $2.85 million. Not that it matters to anyone who’s faces just droppedl; all available units of the One:77 are already spoken for.

One challenger that the Agera One:1 could is the Veyron SS, which has been around for a while. Though the Bugatti’s looks aren’t really to everyone’s liking, the unarguable fact is that the Veyron is one of the biggest engineering marvels since the McLaren F1 .

Powered by 16-cylinder, 8-liter engine, the Veyron does 0 to 60 in a mere 2.5 seconds, and if you are crazy enough to open it all the way up, it’ll hit 267 mph.
