Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg has just released a teaser image of its forthcoming One:1 hypercar ahead of the model’s official debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show.
While the One:1 features what is essentially the same shell that the more recent Agera boasts, what immediately sets it apart is the huge rear wing support by dual fins that extend aft from the roof – no doubt contributing a considerable amount of downforce to the overall aerodynamic package.
The One:1’s name comes from the fact that its twin-turbocharged V8 powerplant will produce 1 044 kW (1 400 hp) and weigh in at 1 400 kg (taking into account the mass of an average-sized person) – effectively resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 1:1. Koenigsegg believes this crucial performance factor should allow the One:1 to complete the 0-200 km/h, 0-300 km/h and 0-400 km/h sprints in record time – with the latter apparently happening in 20 seconds.
As impressive as those statistics are, the One:1’s real target is Bugatti’s Veyron SS, with its 415 km/h top speed. The One:1 is believed to be capable of a 450 km/h maximum velocity.
It seems the title of world’s fastest production car is finally within Koenigsegg’s grasp. The limited run of six models is reserved for those who can afford the near-R25 million asking price.
