What's in a name? For Koenigsegg's latest creation, something totally
awesome, that's what. The "One:1" designation refers to a one-to-one
power-to-weight ratio – one horsepower per kilogram. And the magic
number? One-thousand, three-hundred and forty-one. Hold on to your
butts, indeed.That insane power number comes courtesy of a twin-turbocharged, 5.0-liter V8 that, in addition to the 1,341 hp, puts out an equally pavement-warping 1,011 pound-feet of torque. Koenigsegg hasn't released a 0-60 time, but we imagine it's something like six milliseconds, and we're told the car can theoretically top out at near 273 miles per hour. You know, no big deal.
The One:1 can pull around 2Gs of cornering force on road-legal tires,
and with active aero bits like a rear wing and independent, left and
right front flaps, Koenigsegg says 1,345 pounds of downforce are
available at 160 mph, to keep everything copacetic. Insanely copacetic,
of course.
Want one? Too bad. Koenigsegg only plans to build six examples of the Agera One:1, and all of them have been spoken for.
