2012 Koenigsegg Agera R

As in all previous Koenigsegg hypercars, the new Koenigsegg Agera R is the brainchild of Christian von Koenigsegg. Koenigsegg Agera R has come to life again, in order to set new standards in Hypercars when it comes to control, handling, speed, comfort, practicality and driving pleasure, while the combination of these features clean, efficient and beautiful design.





Interior of the Koenigsegg Agera R is like no other car. There were no other substances than equal to the Koenigsegg is allowed in the interior. This means that what you get in touch and see inside Agera R is the only aluminum, carbon fiber, precious metals, alcantara and aniline leather. All of the switches is very tailored and has a wonderfully unique solutions, such as the Koenigsegg Ghost Light, that make solid aluminium buttons gleam with LED powered symbols appearing out of nowhere. The first in the world automotive industry. The light shines in through the buttons at the billet aluminum surfaces and the way to an almost invisible micro-holes, creating good visibility of the symbols as well as very clean and elegant, which is framed by a new carbon fiber center console and configuration of the tunnel. The new super light full carbon airbag steering wheel incorporates many vital functions directly in front of the driver. Similarly to the CCX, the shifting paddles are mounted directly on the steering wheel to enable shifting without taking your hands off the steering wheel during hard cornering.






The low weight is quite surprising that Koenigsegg Agera R joint action in the engine also has the power to first class, and torque characteristics. To give an example Koenigsegg V8 engine 5-liter twin-turbo develops over 900 hp on 95 octane regular fuel, and over 1100 hp on E85 bio fuel. The Agera produces over 1000 Nm of torque from 2500 rpm and in the Koenigsegg Agera R format the engine has a peak torque of 1200 Nm over a 3300 rpm rev range, showing great flexibility.






Regardless of the type of car, the same amount of potential compared to its EU cycle average CO2 emission(310g of CO2) or cycle fuel consumption( 14,7 litre per 100 km / 16MPG). However, what makes the most proud of is like riding a Koenigsegg, soft, flexible, reliable and engine torque are – especially considering its extreme performance. Koenigsegg Agera R engine meets the highest standards of environment in the world, LEV2 and EU5, and offers a significant power increase in the previous Koenigsegg engines.






The Koenigsegg has teamed up with Borg Warner and adapted to the technology when it comes to materials of the turbine. Koenigsegg Agera R turbine are made of a material called Gamma-Ti is a metallic compound comprising between aluminum and titanium. This new material greatly reduces the inertia of the turbine wheel and shaft and therefore gives a better response.






Koenigsegg Agera R is equipped with the latest ABS technology is based on a very lightweight and performance oriented, racing ABS. The system allows the ABS function to respond differently depending on the mode of performance. In addition, anti-lock brake system operates on massive 392 × 36 mm and 380 x 34 mm ventilated and drilled ceramic discs, for greater stopping power and zero fade condition either track or road.

Edo has managed to upgrade with the exotic, rare and unique characteristic to them. However, the most impressive aspect is still intense and violent acceleration, which is almost unparalleled, even in the field of supercars.

Since the V8 engine is being force-fed by twin superchargers, the main focus was on the setup of the two Rotrex units. With assistance from the manufacturer the drive ratio was modified and the ECU was remapped to accommodate the hardware changes. The aim was to increase the power output while maintaining a broad torque curve over the whole rev range. With the new drive ratio the engine hits its torque peak earlier and puts out up to 891 horsepower, depending on the level of tune. In order to ensure long term reliability of the superchargers, the engine redline was lowered to 7,200 rpm.

2011 Koenigsegg Super Cars Edo Competition CCR Evolution have a over haul gear transmition change to six speed gearbox transmition.it can produce rotation in just 3,700 rpm all the way up to 6,000 rpm,finely tuned directional stability beyond 300 km/h (186 mph) and a top speed that was reduced slightly from 390 km/h (242 mph) for phenomenal and significantly improved acceleration and drivability.

2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R

At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show Koenigsegg is presenting the brand new Koenigsegg Agera R - Quicker than lightning! The name Agera set the tone for the new project. Agera means "to take action" in Swedish. It is also short for the ancient Greek word Ageratos which means "ageless". These two are very suitable meanings, for the car building the future of Koenigsegg.

2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R

The 2012 Koenigsegg Agera is designed with the minimalistic "less is more" philosophy in mind. This philosophy means that the shape of the car has to be purely functional with no added features except those purely needed to meet regulation, added safety, ergonomics, practicality and aerodynamics. Koenigsegg believes that if this philosophy is followed, the car will also be beautiful as it is purely purposeful.

2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R

All in all the production version of the Koenigsegg Agera is created to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level both on the road and the track, still maintaining the largest luggage space in the industry in combination with the unique Koenigsegg door system and detachable/stow-able hardtop. There are several differences between the pre-production car previously shown and the production versions. For example, the engine and gearbox configurations are different and some revolutionary interior, chassis and aerodynamic features adorn the production version of the Agera that has never been shown before.

The new car design 2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R super speed racer car displayed in Geneva Motor Show 2011 is a very special customer, set to be delivered to its owner’s new Norwegian straight after the show closes. It is equipped with a special section with a Thule roof integrated carbon fiber ski-box containing two pairs of skis Koenigsegg.

2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R

At the 2011 Geneva Motor show, Koenigsegg presents the Koenigsegg winter package – the first lifestyle packages offered from Koenigsegg. The main element of this package is the exceptional Lightning Roof Box System. The Lightning Roof Box is developed together with the Swedish rack and roof box manufacturer Thule. The high performance lightweight box is made completely from carbon fibre and has been through several iterations of CFD simulation to ensure it is safe up to 300 km/h, making it the fastest roof box in the world.

The supercar 2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R is built with a monocoque carbon to provide maximum rigidity and light weight; It is so structurally sound that does not require an annex roof, allowing the roof as a removable Panel which can be stored away. Koenigsegg hasn’t published performance numbers for R Agera yet, but from tires rated at 260 km/h and horse-like body structure and range as the poison Hennessey, its 0-60 mph time to be approximately 2.5 seconds and a top speed around 250 km/h on a double clutch 7.

2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R is powered by 5.0L twin-turbo V8 making a neck snapping 1,115-hp and a maximum torque of 885 lb-ft on E85 fuel. Koenigsegg has its own engine lab, with simulation programs, rapid prototyping machines, engine and chassis dynamometers, and a 1.7 km test track adjacent the factory enabling Koenigsegg to take the cars to 0-320-0 km/h at any time. Furthermore, a 25 minute drive away from the Koenigsegg Factory there is Knutstorp Racetrack, which is described by many as a miniature Nordschleife.

2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R

The engine 2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R are mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch gear case and we’re pretty aye that cuts the 0 to 62 miles per hour time belt down to something that’s very impressive. Here Koenigsegg can put the engine and car through serious testing and make sure they work in perfect harmony. This gives Koenigsegg unique possibilities to develop technologies normally exclusive to much larger companies.

These are extraordinary numbers considering the size and reliability of the engine without forsaking drivability or flexibility. This is truly downsizing, without drawbacks. These characteristics make it one of the most flexible and easy to use hypercar engines in the world.

The 2012 Koenigsegg Sports Cars Agera R is proportionate, compact and muscular. Its timeless, efficient and distinctive shape is truly a testament to time. The original shape and concept of the Koenigsegg CC, created 15 years ago, is still valid, fresh and highly competitive today. The Agera manage to stay true to the original philosophy, shape and size of the original CC. At the same time, it looks, feels and performs like something belonging to the future.

The price of the optional 'R' package, on top of a normal $1,400,000 Agera, is $211,000 at current exchange rates, but that looks like something of a bargain compared to the $270,000 Koenigsegg charges for creating a bare carbon car.
