While the Aventador was getting all the hype in Geneva, The Koenigsegg Agera R sneaks through the back and makes the Aventador almost seem…well slow which is something I never thought I’d be typing yesterday
Koenigsegg Agera
2011 Koenigsegg Agera Pictures and Specifications
The Agera celebrates 15 years of supercars from Koenigsegg. Agera is the swedish verb "to act" and that this monster does. Under the hood is a twin-turbo V8 putting out 910hp @ 6850 rpm and 812 lb-ft of torque at 5100rpm. 738 lb-ft of which is available at only 2680rpm. Take into account that the Agera only weighs 2832 lbs. and you'd expect some mind-boggling performance numbers. The Agera delivers. 0-62mph in only 3.1 seconds, 0-124mph in 13.7 seconds and a top speed greater than 245mph!
The design is clearly based off the CCX but that's not a bad thing. The wheels, while somewhat ugly, are designed to suck hot air away from the brakes and the hollowed-out tailights allow heat to escape from the engine. Very cool.
