Koenigsegg Agera R unveiled at Geneva

Geneva Motor show, Koenigsegg is unveiled the production version of the Agera and the even more powerful Agera R.

The Agera is designed with the minimalistic “less is more” philosophy in mind. added safety, ergonomics, practicality and aerodynamics. A good analogy is the evolution of a dolphin that has had to meet similar criteria in order to reach their present configuration through the evolution of nature. A connecting rod design reducing TDC dwell time and therefore enabling higher mean pressures without detonation.

The Koenigsegg Electronic Differential (E-Diff ) is lighter and faster, compared to traditional E-Diff solutions. Furthermore the Koenigsegg developed algorithms that control the E-Diff, takes input from; throttle angle, g-force, steering wheel angle, yaw angle, car speed, engine rpm, selected gear, plus weather condition.

The Agera engine also has class leading power and torque characteristics. powered by a Koenigsegg developed, aluminium/carbon fiber, dry sump, 32 valve, 5.0-liter, twin-turbo, V8 engine which produces 940 PS (927 bhp / 691 kW) and 1100 Nm (811 lb-ft) using 95 octane petrol. As a testament to its advanced design, no other production engine in the world, regardless of car type, has the same amount of power potential while achieving an EU cycle CO2 average emissions rating of 310g or fuel consumption of 14.7 liters per 100 km (16 mpg US / 19.2 mpg UK). These characteristics make it one of the most flexible and easy to use hypercar engines in the world.
