With its force-fed V-8 churning out some 910 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, the carbon fiber infused Koenigsegg Agera was already one of the most extreme supercars on the planet. But now there’s an Agera R model that’s been revealed and this one purportedly produces upwards of 1,100 horsepower.

This means that we could have a new ‘World’s Fastest Production Car’ contender considering that the output of the Agera R almost matches that of the 1,200 horsepower Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, the current speed record title holder, and it weights significantly less--2,832 pounds for the regular Agera versus 4,052 for the Bugatti.

This particular Agera R is the first of its kind, seen here prior to its delivery to the Omani Royal Family. Unique features include its rear spoiler, similar to the one on the original CCXR model, as well as special badging and the addition of a semi-automated transmission.

:fuckyea:

omfg that thing looks awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome

paddle shifting is like cheating! save the manuals!

E85/E100 pumps up the power of the CCXR over the CCX. I wonder if they did the same biofuel capability with the Agera R.

I hope Top Gear tests this soon!

Hyde bought 2 last week.

no no hyde just knows the owner of koenigsegg and he got to watch the manufacturing process of the car from concept to production he even got to test out the concept; he doesnt own one because he's had enough of it already

the interior looks kind of weird IMO

More info!

When the Geneva Motor Show kicks off this week, the Lamborghini Aventador won't be the only exotic sucking in journos like a tractor beam. The Koenigsegg Agera R is also making its global debut, wearing in a Speed Racer-inspired paint scheme (per the owner's request) and packing so much power that you'd think an R2 unit would be a better co-pilot than, say, Chim-Chim.

Now, about that power - the Agera R's 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 makes a ridiculous 1,115 horsepower and 885 lb-ft of torque on E85. Fill the tank with 95-octane gasoline instead of the biofuel, and figure on "only" around 940 horses and 811 lb-ft. The V8's connected to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The driver harnesses that power from a lavishly appointed cockpit that meets all the hypercar techno-fantasy criteria.

The Agera R's body panels are draped over a carbon fiber monocoque whose rigidity is such that a roof is not required. Hence, it's a removable panel that can be stowed inside the car. The owner of the example being displayed in Geneva is a skier, so the car is outfitted with a custom carbon fiber roof box developed in conjunction with Thule. It's a single-piece system that replaces the Agera R's standard roof entirely; when you get to the mountain, you simply swap the ski-box roof for the standard roof (which is tucked away in the cargo compartment).

Other highlights of the Koenigsegg Agera R include Vortex Generating Rim (VGR) wheels whose spokes act as turbine vanes that help maximize downforce. They're wrapped in Michelin rubber developed specifically for the Agera. Said tires are rated up to 260 mph, making them the highest-speed-rated tires in the world, according to Koenigsegg. As always, we'll have a full team in Geneva next week to bring you full details and a live look at the Agera R. In the meantime, check out the high-res image gallery below.

..WUT?
who would drive this up a ski resort...:moderatorban:

Lovely. The power to weight ratio is obscene. This car must be a handful to drive quickly.

It would probably fly no joke

DROOOOOOLLLLLLLL... I want!!

"Vortex Generating Rim (VGR) wheels whose spokes act as turbine vanes that help maximize downforce."

I am interested in seeing a diagram on how the wheels works.

when i read it i thought it'd be too light, it has the wing in the back but not sure if it has enuf downforce to put all that power on the road

then....

:eek:

holy fuk.

with the crazy power to weight ratio, this thing will rip anything apart on this planet.

pretty hot i gotta say! better than that new Pagani Hayyrauuraea

Needs more 6spd manual.

Love the design of this! I'd take it over the Veyron any day, and that weight difference is just another bonus.

The display looks like a f*cking spaceship lol
