Looks like a blinged up CCX to me to be honest, no doubt £1 Million price tag

This is the Koenigsegg Agera, the Swedish firm’s new hypercar which it will reveal at tomorrow’s Geneva motor show.

Although Koenigsegg claims the car is all new, the Agera is essentially a heavily-modified and upgraded version of the outgoing CCX. The length, height and width remain identical to the CCX, although the exterior and interior styling has been overhauled.

Underpinning the car is an aluminium honeycomb-reinforced carbonfibre chassis. Power comes from a 4.7-litre V8 engine, which produces 898bhp at 6850rpm and 811lb ft at 5100rpm.

The 1290kg Agera can get from 0-62mph in 3.1sec, from 0-124mph in 8.9sec and reach a top speed of almost 250mph.

New interior features include a carbonfibre centre console and a new lighting system which uses "invisible nanotubes" to increase visibility of the buttons, dials and instruments.

Koenigsegg plans to build just 16-20 units of the Agera per year in Sweden and will start taking orders at the Geneva show, where pricing will also be revealed.
