Koenigsegg's One:1 - a 1014kW megacar!

13 Aug 2015


The Koenigsegg One:1 Megacar, says the automaker is the world's first megacar in production. It's capable of 1014kW and rocketing to 300km/h in 17.95 secs.
The One:1 produces one megawatt of power, and the automaker claims it is the world's first series produced megacar. The Swedish automaker has produced a car with the 'dream equation' with kW-to-kilogram curb weight ratio of an astonishing 1:1. (Hence the name)
Christian von Koenigsegg, CEO and founder of Koenigsegg automotive, said: ">When we design a new car here at Koenigsegg, we don't make any compromises.">
PERFORMANCE:
Power: 1014kW at 7500rpm – limiter at 8250rpm
Torque: over 1000Nm from 3000 to 8000rpm
Max torque: 1371Nm at 6000rpm
0 – 400 km/h - 20 seconds (claimed)
400 – 0 km/h - 10 seconds (claimed)
Braking distance: 28m (100-0 km/h)
Max lateral g-force: 2.0g

Unfortunately, the One:1 is not only fast, but it is also super-rare, as only six units will be released. On top of that, all six units have been sold for a handsome sum of about $2.4 million, with the majority of them heading to the Chinese market.
With its limited numbers and huge power output, theKoenigsegg One:1 will become an almost immediate legend in the supercar world.
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 it still doesn’t feel special enough to you.
