2011 Koenigsegg Agera Pictures and Details

Koenigsegg's booth at the Geneva Auto Show was somewhat an enigma for us, although the Swedish manufacturer confirmed that it will bring "something new" at the show. Well, the company recently revealed the Agera, a new supercar "aimed to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level, both on the road and the track," as the manufacturer said in a statement.

Technical wise, the engine is a 4.7-liter V8 that produces 898 horsepower at 6,850 rpm and 1,100 Nm of torque at 5,100 rpm. The car weighs 1,290 kilos so it's able to sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 3.1 seconds and reach 200 km/h in 8.9 seconds. The maximum speed goes as high as 390 km/h.

Just as expected when talking about Koenigsegg, the car incorporates top-notch technology, including the latest in braking technology. It features an adjustable ABS system, 392x36 and 380x34 ventilated and drilled ceramic discs, for unparalleled braking performance and zero fade regardless of track or road condition.

"All in all the Koenigsegg Agera is created to maintain Koenigsegg's position as one of the most engaging and top performing cars on the road, on the track -on the planet. Still, maintaining the largest luggage space in the industry and the novel Koenigsegg doors and detachable/stow able hardtop, that really makes all Koenigsegg cars stand out," the company said in a release.
