RE: Koenigsegg Agera One:1 - (some) details

[AV12]

Right, I've been reading this thread and some interesting information, I must admit.

As for the looks, well it certainly is mad and some of the technology seems really innovative and invokes the imagination.

However,

I remain unconvinced that K'Egg will pull this off successfully. No doubt he and his team have great technical skill and the ambition is there, but I'm not sure that this thing will actually work properly.

I want to be proven wrong.

P1 just works. So does the 918. Not convinced this will. And, I hate to say, without a hybrid system it's bordering on irrelevant.

All IMHO

I agree with Christian von Koenigsegg on his opinion that hybrids are pretty pointless.

And I'd love to see his camless engine in an Agera. I very much expect that one to be more powerful and less thirsty than any of the hybrids by McLaren, Porsche and LalalalalaFerrari.

Hi,

Koenigsegg : l'interview

The basic shape of the car is 20 years old.

Now it's just added tat.

Never really understood Koenigsegg's approach, just add power and make massive claims and that'll do.

If it's not broken, don't fix it. Still looks a cracking achievement in my book.

They've been pioneers in the use of some of the most highly sophisticated manufacturing techniques you can imagine; the 3D printing of turbocharger components springs to mind. Their use of carbon composite materials is pretty much unrivalled not only when compared with other small companies but also the big guns such as Porsche and McLaren. They're also at the absolute cutting edge in the development of Cam-less engines. To think of them simply as a company who aim for the highest power figure and hope for the best would be very short sighted.

Porsche 911 is over 50 years old. Christian cited the 911 as an example for his philosophy of making cars. Nothing wrong with that!
