Koenigsegg One:1

-->


Rumors about a possible Koenigsegg One:1 special edition started to surface on the Internet a few weeks ago. Until now, it has been rumored that its odd usage of the number one in its name is because it will be a one-off model. New details now suggest that there will be five units built and that the name has nothing to do with the number of units produced.

In an interview with Cars UK, Christian von Koenigsegg reported that the car?s One:1 name is in fact a reference to its power-to-weight ratio — 1 horsepower for every 1 kg of weight. This means that the next supercar will deliver somewhere between 1,250 and 1,350 horsepower, which is a significant increase over the Agera R?s 1,140 horsepower.

Von Koenigsegg also announced that the supercar is still in its early stages of development and a production date is not set. We anticipate that all five units will be sold on the Chinese market, and the price will be near $2 million.

For now, this is all of the information we have on the One:1. We do, however, have our own rendering of what we think this new hypercar will look like, which you can see above. We’ll keep you updated as more information rolls out.

Good team? but what are the owners doing?

The Force India team looks to be in a fairly decent state on the race track this year, with the 300-odd staff at Silverstone hoping to continue to show well against much bigger teams. The team’s technology deal with McLaren has been significantly reduced this year as the team has switched away from a McLaren … … Continue reading
