Koenigsegg's highly entertaining web series, Inside Koenigsegg, has returned for a second season. This time around, the Swedish builder isn't wasting any time; it's jumping right in to discuss the car that's got everybody's attention in the auto world these days: the Koenigsegg One:1.

Even with its debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, there's still an air of mystery surrounding the Koenigsegg One:1 that a lot of people couldn't point to. Maybe it's because Koenigsegg has been mum on its performance capabilities, or that it's come out and said that top speed wasn't a priority in building the ridiculous supercar.

Whatever it's intentions are, the company did elaborate on a few things in the first episode of Inside Koenigsegg's second season. For one, the nomenclature of the supercar was finally explained. According to Christian von Koenigsegg, "One:1" is a reference to its power-to-weight ratio, which is, well, 1:1. That's unheard of, even with all the technological advancements the industry has achieved in recent years.

So, in essence, the One:1 produces 1,340 horsepower and has a curb weight of (that's a fully fueled up car, mind you), you guessed it, 1,340 kilograms (2,954 pounds). If you dive into more interesting performance measurements about the One:1, the output it produces is right around 1 megawatt, making it in von Koenigsegg's words "the first megacar ever built".

That combination is jut mind-blowing, if you think about it. Much more so when you take into consideration that von Koenigsegg describing the One:1 as the most extreme car the company has ever built isn't somebody trying to blow smoke up our you-know-whats.

The man means it and judging by the product he and his outstanding team of engineers have created, it's words that you can take to the bank.

Koenigsegg Agera S

Posted on 11.23.2012 11:00 by Kirby Garlitos Filed under: Koenigsegg | coupe | Supercars / Exotic cars | special editions | Koenigsegg Agera | Asia | Cars | Car Reviews | Koenigsegg

Supercar builders like Bugatti and Pagani have made a living building special, one-off supercars for their exclusive clientele. Recently, their Swedish counterpart, Koenigsegg, has been getting some buzz for doing the same.

In the past few months alone, multiple reports about an Agera X, an Agera R BLT and even a Koenigsegg One:1 have surfaced, giving further credence to the growing notion that Koenigsegg is knee deep in its client-customization program.

Guess what? A new variant of the Agera has been spotted lurking the streets of Hong Kong. These photos of what’s being called the Agera S were taken by Ron Alder W Photography and he was kind enough to share them with us.

There’s not much in terms of details surrounding the Agera S, although we’ve been told that the supercar was built by Koenigsegg for countries where biofuel is not readily available. What this means is that owners of this supercar can still enjoy the all of its 1,030 horsepower capabilities by using premium fuel instead of the Agera R’s Flex biofuel capabilities.

As far as color choice is concerned, the Agera S looks to be sporting a sexy jade green color, which if you think about it, is appropriate for a country that holds jade — the jewel, not the color — in high regard.

We’ll continue rolling out more information as it becomes available.
