Considering the rate at which mega-bucks hypercars have been hitting the market, you wouldn’t think that the world is currently slowly staggering to its feet after a prolonged and painful recession. Keen not to be left behind, the Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg has brought their latest car out to play. The Koenigsegg Agera R is more than ready to do battle with the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and even Bugatti.
Powering the Agera R is a 5.0 litre twin-turbocharged V8, which when fueled with E85 bioethanol, manages to produce an astounding 1,115 horsepower and 1,200 Nm (885 lb-ft) of torque. Fill the Agera R up with regular 95-octane gasoline and it’ll still offer up 940 horsepower. The Agera R’s transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch setup which somehow manages to channel the power to the rear wheels without turning into metal soup. Of course all that grunt means the Agera R isn’t a slouch, and it’s helped by the lightweight construction which uses unreasonable amounts of carbon fiber for both the body and monocoque chassis.
