Ahead of the car's official debut in Geneva, the folks over at Koenigsegg have finally revealed their ultimate play toy, the One:1 and it has the makings of a legend.
Named after the perfect 1 to 1 balance it achieve between the horsepower output and the weight it has to carry around, the One:1 will be a champion of drag racing, a 1,341 horsepower freak of nature. All that power comes from the usual 5.0-liter aluminum engine, which also makes an unbelievable 1,371 Nm of torque (1,011 lb-ft).

For these super-powered machines 0 to 100km/h goes by in an instant, so Koenigsegg instead tell us the 0 to 400 km/h time can be as little as 20 seconds. Thanks to a breaking system from the Agera R, the One:1 clamps on to 397mm ventilated ceramic discs with six-piston calipers stops itself from that ridiculously high speed in just 10 seconds. At the back, the 380mm discs have only four pistons and Koenigsegg has also updated the active shock absorbers and carbon bevel springs at the back.

As we've come to expect from Koenigsegg, the One:1 runs on both conventional gasoline and E85 biofuelor race fuel.

Set to be revealed next week in Geneva, the One:1 features more advanced aerodynamics. It's almost as if somebody took the Agera R and tried to turn it into legitimate racer. Scoops, wings and spoiler added everywhere make this one of the busiest designs any supercar has presented itself with.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
