What has 1,341 horsepower, threatens to overthrow the Bugatti Veyron as the world’s fastest car and sits pretty at the Geneva Motor Show? Is it the Hennessey Venom GT? No, that one is powered by “just” 1,244 and it’s a bit slower than the vehicle we’re talking about.
OK, OK, no more stalling. It’s the Koenigsegg One:1. You probably knew that because we already reported about this fabulous hypercar being displayed in Geneva yesterday, when we also offered you a sneak preview. Anyway, we’re now back to report that Swedes have taken the cover off the One:1, exposing the vehicle's aerodynamic body in all its glory. The interior and the almighty supercharged V8 engine are also out in the open if you’re looking to take a deep dive.

Before you head over to our photo gallery section for some live pictures, we’d like to remind you that the One:1 is famous for its perfect power-to-weight ratio - 1,341 horsepower and 1,341 kilograms (2,956 pounds). The manufacturer says its brand new supercar can accelerate from 0 to 400 km/h (248.5 mph) in only 20 seconds and reach a top speed of “more than 440 km/h (273.4 mph).”

This means the One:1 is faster than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which holds the current Guinness World Record at 431.07 km/h (268 mph), but we’ll have to wait for the Swedish car to provide an official speed run. Meanwhile you can enjoy the photos below.
