← Continued from Page 2 of "Top 5 Most Wanted Cars from Geneva"Last, but absolutely not least, we have the craziest production car ever made. This bad boy reached perfection in the engineering world and will blow your mind with its specs, proving that Koenigsegg really knows what it's doing. Yes, we're talking about the Koenigsegg One:1. Guess why it's called that?
That's right, it's because, as we said in the previous paragraf, it achieved the perfect power to weight ratio of 1 kilogram per horsepower. What does that mean? It means the Swedish car weighs 20 percent less than the Agera it's based on and tips the scale at only 1,340 kg (2,954 lbs) thanks to the extensive usage of carbon fibre, aluminum and magnesium.
That number also tells us the power output of the twin-turbo 5-liter V8 under the hood that was taken dangerously close to the 1,000 kWh margin, making 1,340 HP and 1,371 Nm (1,011 lb-ft) of torque thanks to its variable geometry turbines, making this the second production car that uses this technology on petrol, taking the exclusivity away from Porsche.
It's actually mind-boggling the technology that this car features. Just to name a few such impressive feats we'll tell you abut the 2G cornering capability thanks to the 610 kg of down force it generates at just 260 km/h (160 mph), the 3D printed variable turbo housing and the 3D printed titanium exhaust end piece. God only knows how they pulled that off.
As far as acceleration times go, the Sweeds didn't even go into detail saying that the 100 km/h (62mph) benchmark speed comes so fast, it doesn't really matter. Furthermore, they claim that the car was done especially for track use (even though it's also road legal) and that top speed wasn't a priority. They do, however, mention that it probably is capable of breaking 440 km/h (273 mph).
So, you probably would like to have one, right? Too bad, as the company announced that all 6 units ever to be built have already been sold for a price tag of around $2 million, most probably, as there's no official info available in this regard just yet. In case you still want to drive it, the only fix we can think of right now, is the virtual world, as the 'megacar' will be introduced in the Need for Speed world via a special DLC.
