Koenigsegg Agera (2011) [Reviews]



Koenigsegg celebrates 15 years of making dream cars, releasing their new jewel - the joint action Koenigsegg. A new supercar designed to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level, both on road and track.

Ager, the Swedish verb "act", was selected as the name of the last Super Koenigsegg creation, because it symbolizes the philosophy of a Koenigsegg. Koenigsegg will be straight ahead, looking for challenges beyond the restrictions. New Koenigsegg supercar ager is the result of the creative process and its functions are very important for the first name.

When we believe in what we do. We act. Car also has to act, when the order to release performance, solid and fawlessly. Koenigsegg developing joint action has been changing, the Koenigsegg tradition of continuous improvement, sharpening and perfecting the final result, all based on past experience and innovative thinking. The emphasis in the development Koenigsegg joint action was to maximize, hiking, swing speed, braking and adaptability, said Christian von Koenigsegg.

Time display

Agera The Koenigsegg is a testament to both. The original and the concept of the Koenigsegg CC, created 15 years ago remains valid today's highly competitive and fresh. The Koenigsegg Agera always remain faithful to the original philosophy, the shape and size of the original CC. At the same time, it looks, feels and behaves like something from the future, all new content.
Knight Rider is not the best tires it uses, because it is the only access road and car. Therefore, Koenigsegg is a deep and long-term cooperation with Michelin, the tires when it comes to development. Koenigsegg Ager program to take this cooperation to a new level and is expected to set new standards with regard to overall performance, behavior in the wet and dry.

Koenigsegg ager is as wide as the front of the rear of the car. This gives a good balance in corners and minimal body roll.

The Koenigsegg Agera also presents the latest braking technology, which includes an ABS system adjustable 392x36 and 380x34 ventilated and drilled discs with ceramic for excellent braking performance and fade zero, regardless of track or road to breathe condition.Thanks optimized Twin Turbo, power is now 910 hp, running on regular gasoline. Torque is up to 1100 nm is achieved at 5100 rpm. There are over 1,000 Nm of torque available from 2680 to 6100 rpm.

A new traction control is the fastest to react to the market with automatic adjustment functions in different road conditions and driving styles, and several manual settings.

Koenigsegg has developed a new type of interior lighting, which is the world's car industry PUPA - the Ghostlight. The light shines from billet aluminum buttons and the invisible way to the surface of the nanotubes, creating good visibility of the symbols, and a very clean and elegant, which is framed by a brand new console fbre carbon center and the tunnel configuration.

In addition, the driver can easily select the information you want displayed in front of him, the new pole multi-information display, combined with improved information and entertainment, from basic functionality, G-force meter, meters demand, satellite navigation, music, tour-timer or compass - to better suit the current driving conditions, whether on the road, traveling the country roads, city driving navigation or serious misconduct. Also inside the new Koenigsegg Agera seams and joints, inside fuidity beautiful.

Overall Koenigsegg Common action was created to maintain the position as one of Koenigsegg cars the most exciting and most efficient on the road, track, on the planet. Still maintains the largest trunk of the industry, and the new Koenigsegg doors and removable / hard top to stow really makes all the cars Koenigsegg stand out.
The Koenigsegg Agera occurred in parallel with CCX and CCXR models win. This gives you the opportunity to live Koenigsegg different customer needs and desires. The Agera set out in the 80th International Auto Show in Geneva. The auto show pre-production phases will be presented to the next six months before the start of Agera production car. Finally, Agere is the abbreviation for the Greek word Ageratos, which in ancient Greek means "eternal."

Koenigsegg CCXR Edition [Reviews]


The Koenigsegg Edition has been created to break records in the traditional way Koenigsegg. The purpose of the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition is to offer superior performance - on the track straight and the roads - and do it with style and comfort.

According to our comparative studies, can not match supercar Koenigsegg CCXR Edition in terms of power-weight, aerodynamic balance, supports and chassis rigidity. At the same time, the publication maintains the Koenigsegg CCX fantastic management and its ability to absorb uneven surfaces like no other sports car road.
Both models are equipped with a remapped, 4.8 liter supercharged Koenigsegg two engines, and were followed developed by the inclusion of modified shock absorbers, stiffer springs and stabilizer bars, shock absorbers and low chassis reset.

Downforce has been strengthened by the addition of an optimized rear spoiler, front fenders, a front splitter and Nolde, which are designed to offer support wherever possible. In general, the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition produces over 350 kg of support to 250 km / h. The aerodynamics have been verified and optimized for both CFD and live testing by Koenigsegg test track in Sweden and in different areas of Europe.

The clean, Scandinavian design is highlighted by lacquered clear that reveals the courage, beauty linear construction of carbon fiber. Each section of carbon fiber body has been carefully matched and set inside a bespoke suit, creating an astonishing effect Pinstripe. The process is time that it takes almost twice as long to create the body visible clear-coated carbon compared to the normal body painted CCX carbon.

The exquisite leather interior, anodized aluminum trim Chronocluster Koenigsegg specially redesigned center console and are combined with the forged aluminum wheels uniquely designed to confirm the exclusive status of the issue. Standing beside the car, which would be forgiven for thinking that is underway - this is the dynamic presence of this marvel of impressive vehicle. Appearances can be further improved by adding secondary colors of choice for the front splitter, side tabs and the diffuser, with a choice of dark silver, dark red and pearl white.

Koenigsegg CCXR Edition is coming with free choice of Michelin Cup tires, and a unique set of wheels designed to optimize the size and characteristics. These tires prior art to reduce the braking distance, to deliver quicker acceleration from the stop and the G-force curve in dry conditions.
The Koenigsegg CCX Edition runs on regular gasoline and producing 888 hp, while the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition car was changed bioflexfuel, and can run on E85, E100, regular gasoline 98 octane ( Europe) or a mixture of all three. When running on gasoline, the engine produces 888 hp, but the higher octane of E85, a higher compression, boost pressure and ignition timing Increased as possible, allowing the engine to deliver an amazing 1018 horsepower.

For the first time we are able to offer an alternative to the paddle-shift auto Edition. In fact, all the manuals Koenigsegg cars can now change the paddle-shift option, then on the client. Production cars strictly limited: only 14 Koenigsegg CCXR Koenigsegg CCX Edition and Edition 6 is done.

Koenigsegg Agera R (2012) [Reviews]



At the Geneva Motor Show 2011 Koenigsegg Koenigsegg present the brand new joint R - Faster than lightning! Joint action on the show stand R Koenigsegg - production car No. 83 - Inspired by the legendary theme of Speed ??Racer, as indicated by the owner of the car. Speed ??Racers primary color is white - snow then. Equipped with Michelin tires and a special roof box Thule Custom - Speed ??Racer is ready to attack the ski resorts!

In 2010, Koenigsegg has filed a pre-production version of the Koenigsegg Agera. From pre-production car test mules and many have followed the development program Agera. The pre-production car was driven by Agera influential newspapers of the car, what critics rave and awards, such as becoming the "Top Gear Hypercar the year." Please see attached quote proof readers.

Overall, the production versions to create an experience Koenigsegg Ager to the next level as well as road and track, while maintaining the largest trunk in a single system port and is capable of Koenigsegg hardtop detachable/stow-.

There are several differences between the pre-production car shown earlier, and production versions. For example, the configuration engine and gearbox and some different revolutionary interior, chassis and aerodynamic properties adorn the production version of the Joint Action, which has never been shown before. For more information, read the full press release below.

DESIGN

Ager has designed a minimalist philosophy "less is more" in mind. This philosophy means that the shape of the car is purely functional, with the exception of additional features to attain a purely regulatory, increases safety, ergonomics, functionality and aerodynamics. We believe that if this philosophy is followed, the car is also nice, because it is purely determined. A good analogy is the development of dolphins, who were forced to meet similar criteria to obtain the current configuration through the evolution of nature.

The joint is proportional, compact and muscular. Its timeless shape, powerful and distinctive is really a testament to both. The original form and the concept of the Koenigsegg CC, created 15 years ago are still relevant, fresh and very competitive today. The joint is able to remain faithful to the original philosophy, the shape and size of the original CC. At the same time, it looks, feels and acts like something that belongs in the future.

ENGINE

Koenigsegg is different from other small manufacturers overcome the Koenigsegg to develop and produce their own engine. That is, most observers and competitors, are considered more or less impossible or too expensive to be taken into consideration.

However, year after year, Koenigsegg has proved them wrong. Not only are the engines developed in-house, but they also have class-leading capabilities in key areas. Among others, the engine passes the world's lightest and most compact, weighing just 197 kg complete with flywheel, clutch, the dry sump system, Inconel exhaust manifold with turbo. Low weight of the engine is just fantastic, because Ager engine is also class-leading power and torque characteristics. Let me give an example, 5-liter V8 Koenigsegg develops over 900 hp twin turbo 95 octane regular gasoline, and more than 1,100 hp on E85 biofuel. Ager produces more than 1,000 Nm of torque from 2500 rpm and the engine size R Ager Koenigsegg has a maximum torque of 1200 Nm at 3300 rpm than the tour, showing great flexibility.

These are extraordinary numbers, size and reliability of the engine without rejecting the driveability and flexibility. This is really a reduction, without the disadvantages. These features make it an engine more flexible and easy to use hypercars in the world.

To give a different touch Agera engines compared to other engines of production cars, it is easy to see the BMEP value (the mean effective pressure) in cylinders when full power. Best of the production of diesel and gasoline engines from other major manufacturers have a maximum BMEP of about 22 bars.

TRANSMISSION

7 The new gearbox has a system Agera first world to an input shaft dual-clutch single. To keep the transmission of light, compact, solid and reliable with Cima Koenigsegg has chosen to develop a new type of gearbox that allows the use of a combination of a clutch system in dry and wet, so getting change first class. The first is the normal functioning double disc dry clutch in the traditional way. Then there is a hydraulic clutch, wet brake in the gearbox is engaged in each shift to slow the input shaft, along with changes in reporting and before the normal timing. This reduces synchronization time by two thirds, that art presynchronized. The result is a change very athletic, smooth and very fast.

Compared to traditional DCT, this change is lighter, smaller, has fewer moving parts and gives a clearer convertibility, almost continuously accelerating. In addition, electro-hydraulic shift mechanism to activate the exchange rate between the forks directly, without mechanical parts. This decreases the inertia of the transmission mechanism, and whether the game is minimized, because the shortest possible path of engagement is reached.

The transmission assembly weighs only 81 kg, which is by far the easiest 7 Hypercar transmission rate in the world. The transmission can also be configured for full auto.

The small size and low weight, given the speed longitudinal arrangement 7, has kept the shortest in the class rear overhang, and thus an excellent central location and a neutral mass behavior in extreme conditions.

SUSPENSION

The joint suspension geometry was designed to further improve the behavior of CCX winning. Joint action of the track is wider at the front from the back of the car, compensates for the narrower front tires and the car has a square position at two meters in front and behind.
In a typical tradition Koenigsegg, Agere is the longest of all the wishbones exceeded at the time of production. Along wishbones are a number of advantages - for example: a road less deviation during the movement of the wheel or cornering and improved geometry of the long wheel travel. This is one reason why F1 cars are very long arms. Arms are made without the aerospace chrome moly steel tubing, in order to minimize weight, combined with maximum strength and rigidity.

Very strong, lightweight uprights, are made from 7075-T6 aluminum, the aviation industry, and includes a 240 mm dual-SKF bearings, angular contact, normally found only in the LeMans prototype cars. Very large screen, the overall stiffness of the bearings for the wheel and thus provide better control, handling and comfort. Vertical supports must be 4.5 "diameter carbon fiber brake cooling ducts for the sheets to maximize brake cooling.

INTERIOR

The interior of the Agera unlike any other car. No materials other than those deemed worthy by Koenigsegg are allowed. This means you can touch and see the Agera is aluminum, carbon fiber, precious metals, leather and alcantara aniline. All cells are highly customizable and offers wonderfully unique solutions, such as ghost light Koenigsegg, which make solid aluminum buttons glow powered LED symbols of nothing. A world first in the automotive industry. The light shines through the machined aluminum buttons and surfaces by means of micro holes almost invisible, creating excellent visibility of the symbols, and a very clean and elegant, surrounded by a fiber brand new console carbon and the whole tunnel.
The new super light full carbon wheel airbag contains many vital functions directly in front of the driver. As CCX is to move the paddle directly mounted on the steering wheel to allow to move without taking your hands off the steering wheel when cornering hard.

The central high-definition touch-screen infotainment system controls the audio, satellite navigation, Bluetooth phone and secondary functions such as performance counters and data telemetrical car.

Very nice seats coal, and possibly heated, are very long distances, but also gives an excellent side support, if necessary.

The interior is minimalist and efficient Agera in the purest sense of Sweden. Nothing inside is just to add visual drama, but everything is there with a functional purpose. According to Koenigsegg, is the essence of beauty as it follows a less is more philosophy that incorporates all aspects of engineering Agera.

Koenigsegg Joint Action (2011)



Koenigsegg celebrate the 15 years to make a dream car, releasing their latest gem - Koenigsegg Ager. New Koenigsegg supercar has tried to experience a higher level, both on road and track.

Ager, the Swedish verb "to act" was chosen as the name of Koenigsegg's latest creation is great, because it symbolizes the philosophy and Koenigsegg. Koenigsegg always looking forward, looking for challenges beyond the limits. The new supercar Koenigsegg Agera is the result of this creative process and their functions are very responsive to a given name.
When we believe in what we do. We act. Car also has to act, when the order to release performance, solid and fawlessly. Koenigsegg developing joint action has been changing, the Koenigsegg tradition of continuous improvement, sharpening and perfecting the final result, all based on past experience and innovative thinking. The emphasis in the development Koenigsegg joint action was to maximize, hiking, swing speed, braking and adaptability, said Christian von Koenigsegg.

A will in time

Koenigsegg Ager is an indication of time. Original form and the concept of Koenigsegg CC, created 15 years ago, is still in force, fresh and very competitive today. Koenigsegg Ager still remain faithful to the original philosophy, the shape and size of the original DC. At the same time, it seems, feels and acts like something of the future, all new content.

Knight Rider is not the best tires it uses, because it is the only access road and car. Therefore, Koenigsegg is a deep and long-term cooperation with Michelin, the tires when it comes to development. Koenigsegg Ager program to take this cooperation to a new level and is expected to set new standards with regard to overall performance, behavior in the wet and dry.

The joint Koenigsegg is so wide at the front and rear of the car. It offers a good balance in the corners and minimizes body roll.

The joint Koenigsegg is the latest braking technology, which includes an adjustable system ABS, 392x36 and 380x34 ventilated and perforated ceramic discs for greater stopping power and zero fade condition.Thanks regardless of track or road for breathing optimized and Twin Turbo, power is now 910 hp, runs on regular gasoline. Torque up to 1100 nm is achieved at 5100 rpm. There are over 1000 Nm of torque available from 2680 to 6100 rpm.

Traction control is the answer faster new to the industry, which features automatic adjustment for road conditions and driving styles, and several manual settings.
Koenigsegg has developed a new type of interior lighting, which is a world frst in the automotive industry - in light ghost. The light shines through the machined aluminum buttons and the nanotube surfaces by invisible, creating excellent visibility of the symbols, and a very clean and elegant, surrounded by a whole new console and carbon fbre Assembly tunnel.

In addition, the driver can easily select the information you want to show his face, is all new multi-cluster information, coupled with constantly updated display of infotainment, from basic features, G-force meter, meters, satellite navigation, music, timing, compasses, or - better fits the current driving conditions, it was highway cruising, visiting a village, city navigation, or serious driving on the track. In addition, Interior has a new Koenigsegg Ager seams and stitching, which gives fuidity Beutiful interior.

Overall, the Koenigsegg Koenigsegg Ager created to preserve the status of an attractive and well-functioning of the cars on the road, the track of the planet. Still, maintaining the largest industry and a novel load Koenigsegg doors and removable / Stow able hardtop, which really makes Koenigsegg stand out all the cars.
The joint Koenigsegg will be produced in conjunction with the CCX and CCXR models awards. This gives the ability to Koenigsegg to meet the needs of our customers and different requirements. The joint is exposed at the 80th Salon International de l'Auto in Geneva. The show car pre-production phases will be submitted to the next six months before the start of car production joint action. Final Joint action is also an abbreviation of the Greek word Ageratos in ancient Greek means "timeless."
