Koenigsegg comes out with full Agera R specs

In lieu of the long list of hyper cars coming out, Swedish supercar maker has decided to take action and has come out with the Agera R which literally means to take action.

Compact, proportionate and muscular, the Agera’s design is simply timeless. The Agera manages to stay true to the original philosophy, shape and size of the original CC. At the same time, it looks feels and performs like something belonging to the future.

The specs have just been revealed and they are nothing short of mind numbing. Koenigsegg differs from other low volume hypercar manufacturers by the fact that Koenigsegg develops and produces its own engine in-house. This is, by most observers and competitors, deemed as more or less impossible or way too expensive to even consider.

Not only are the engines developed in-house, they also have class leading characteristics in many important areas. To mention a few: Lightest and most compact hypercar engine in the world, weighing only 197 kg complete with flywheel, clutch, dry sump system, Inconel exhaust manifold with turbo. The low engine weight is quite astonishing, as the Agera engine also has class leading power and torque characteristics. To give an example, the Koenigsegg 5 litre V8 bi-turbo engine develops more 1115 hp on 95 octane regular fuel. The Agera has over 1000 Nm of torque from 2500 rpm and 1100 nm from 3500 to 6000 rpm, showing great flexibility. With specs like these, the Swede’s have definitely taken all the right actions.
