Koenigsegg One: the most interesting about the Swedish hypercar for $ 2 million

Koenigsegg One is a car that can not be described in words. Hypercar, which impresses with its technical characteristics. When Hennessey Venom GT set its phenomenal speed record, which was 431 km / h, Koenigsegg almost immediately put this data into doubt. After a while they released a hypercard with a short name - One, which spoke for itself. This car is capable of setting a new speed record - 450 km / h.

Specifications

Knowing that the Swedish concern produced a model with a 1000-horsepower engine under the hood (these are Agera R and Agera S cars), you can expect anything from them. What can please the Koenigsegg One? So, its "heart" is a 5-liter turbocharged V8-engine, producing ... 1360 horsepower! And it really is amazing. No wonder his name is "number one". This is the first of its kind hypercar in the world. And the power of its engine is equal to one megawatt of power. The developers say that this is not the limit, but they decided to stop (for the sake of maintaining the most optimal balance of power and controllability). Another feature of the engine Koenigsegg One 1, the photo of which is located below, is his turbocharger 3D.

Aerodynamic characteristics

Koenigsegg One - a car in the body of which contains a lot of carbon fiber. The developers decided to resort to this material in order to reduce the weight of the model to a minimum. And it succeeded. Without loss of rigidity, its mass has decreased by as much as 40 percent! Accordingly, the overclocking became better, and controllability, and overall - improvements are evident.

Active aerodynamics - this is another "highlight", which the manufacturers decided to use. In the new model, various aerodynamic elements were used throughout the body, due to which it was possible to minimize air resistance. Spoilers and splitters placed on the front bumper increase the downforce (if necessary) and distribute the airflow between the body and the engine (this allows to increase the cooling of the engine). In the rear part we installed a so-called active wing, which promotes rapid braking. In general, in terms of dynamics of the car Koenigsegg One turned out great, and it's a fact.

Interesting Facts

What else can you tell about this car? Koenigsegg One features an adaptive suspension, which, if necessary, changes the ground clearance. You can also adjust the suspension yourself (there is a manual mode).

Another interesting fact is that this machine is not just a serial sports car. Manufacturers have set a goal - to create a model for the sports track. That is the car on which professional riders could ride and set records. And that car that would win the hearts of motorists obsessed with high speeds.

What about the cost of Koenigsegg One 1? The price of this car is indecently high, but justified (because there are so many things in this car that it will not be possible to list on several pages of the booklet). The test hypercar was sold, for example, for $ 6 million, and someone even bought it. Serial are worth two million, however, all models have been pre-ordered. So they were already sold out before the release. Although there were not so many of them - not a thousand, not five hundred, not a hundred, but only 6 pieces. Six stunning cars with an incredibly attractive appearance, ultra-comfortable cabin and 1360 horsepower under the hood.
