Car and Motorcycle

Koenigsegg is determined to take the supremacy out of Bugatti’s hands. After being officially unveiled back in 2011, the Agera R is entering the 2013 model year as a more powerful sports car with lots of improvements. Koenigsegg is put in a power improvement of 25 HP that will make the car capable of hitting a top speed of 273 mph. We’ll just have to wait for Koenigsegg to prove it.

The in-house developed 5.0-liter V8 with twin turbos now uses nano-surfaced cylinder sleeves, from ANS, for reduced friction and fuel consumption. As a result, the Agera R will develop a total of 1,140 HP up from 1,115 HP. The Agera R comes also equipped with an unique Triplex suspension and a new, lighter rear exhaust section.

Aside from the bump in performance, the Agera R also comes with the world’s first hollow, one piece, super light carbon fiber wheel, using a proprietary method developed by Koenigsegg named Aircore Technology.

Exterior and Interior

Engine

While there weren’t any significant changes on the exterior, under the hood is a totally different story. The supercar’s new in-house developed 5.0-liter V8 with twin turbos is the first in the world to use nano-surfaced cylinder sleeves, from ANS, for reduced friction and fuel consumption. A new in-house developed engine management system provides added functionality and ensures that the car meets all OBD II regulations.
The new Agera R now develops a total of 1140 HP and the rev limiter has been raised from 7250rpm to 7500rpm.
The supercar is also equipped with a new unique Triplex suspension developed in cooperation with Swedish shock manufacturer Öhlins Racing. KES (Koenigsegg Electronic Stability) is now offered as a standard feature.
