Andy_Bangle Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Koenigsegg had a little bash at their factory for the launch of the Agera on Thursday and we were told no photo's but someone wasn't listening or they just wanted to leak them out themselves so here we go, the new Agera. As far as performance goes, Koenigsegg have kept the same 4.7 liter V8 developed in previous cars, this time there is 910hp at the 6850rpm-redline. Torque hits 1100Nm at 5100rpm. Thanks to a dry weight of 1290kg (2832lbs), the Agera manages to reach 100km/h (62mph) in 3.1 seconds and 200km/h (124mph) in 8.9 seconds. Top speed is estimated at 390+ km/h (245+ mph). As far as the exhaust system for the Agera goes, an Inconell system is being used, shared with the Trevita revealed last year. Coupled to all this is the Koenigsegg-engineered transversal, paddle-shift transmission with limited slip differential.The chassis is manufactured from carbon fibre with aluminium honeycomb with integrated fuel tanks for optimal weight distribution and safety. The advantages of this also include the fact that the whole chassis weighs just 72kg. Adjustable suspension is included to help the car get over speed bumps and uneven surfaces without damaging body work. As with past Koenigsegg’s, the Agera features a removable hardtop, stowable under the front hood lid. Bodywork is manufactured entirely from pre-impregnated carbon fibre/kevlar with carbon air ducts over the wheels. Aerodynamically, the Agera features a flat underbody with Venturi tunnels at rear of chassis/body. This allows it to produce 300kg of downforce at 250km/h (155mph). The brakes come in the form of 392×36 and 380×34 ventilated and drilled ceramic discs. Performance is guaranteed, whatever the weather, wherever the location. State of the art traction control sets new industry standards with the ability to auto-adapt to the location and driving conditions. Koenigsegg have also maintained their relationships with Michelin and hope to offer a set of tyres, perfect for the car in both wet and dry conditions. Sizes for these are 255/35 – 19 inch at the front and 335/30 – 20 inch at the rear. Exclusive: Koenigsegg Agera - GTSPIRIT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stooH Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hmm I think my 4 seater of choice the Masser has just been kicked into touch. Although i'm not sure how practical those doors would be when parking up in a space at Tesco.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bangle Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Now you can config your own Agera, even if you can't afford to buy it. I love the option of the Top Gear Wing!

theduisbergkid Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Lots of ugly typos on their website, as they say at Chelfing, it's all about the attention too [sic] detail. Eg; "...in order to verify that all toleranses are met. Here the body of the car is also dry fitted before entering the paintshop to verify fit and finnish. " "At this station the monocouqe is dressed" "These parts has been part assembled" This kind of thing reflects badly on them IMO... Great cars though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
