Officially revealed a few days ago, Koenigsegg’s answer to the new wave of hypercars - the One:1 - is about to make its public debut at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. And while we’re anxiously waiting for the Swedes to uncover their latest creation, we managed to snap a few shots of the partially covered supercar.
Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it’s up to you and the visitors to decide whether the One:1 will steal the show from a design point of view. However, one cannot get past the fact that this beast features a perfect power-to-weight ratio at 1,341 horsepower and 1,341 kilograms (2,956 pounds) without losing his breath for a few moments.
Koenigsegg has yet to reveal how long it takes the One:1 to accelerate from naught to 100 km/h (62 mph), but said the supercar will be able to reach 400 km/h (248.5 mph) from a standing start in only 20 seconds. More over, the manufacturer claims the One:1 “is anticipated to be the world’s fastest homologated production car with a simulated top speed of more than 440 km/h (273.4 mph)”.
The current record for the fastest production car is held by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport at 431.07 km/h (268 mph). Last month, Hennessey Performance reported that its Venom GT has hit 435.31 km/h (270.49 mph) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but their achievement isn’t eligible for a Guinness World Record.
