In honor of its 15th anniversary in 2010, the company released new car Koenigsegg Agera 2017-2018, which the manufacturer also created to replace it in the company’s line. The performance took place at the famous Geneva Motor Show. The name was given to the car for a reason; translated from Swedish it means “Action”.
Little remains of its predecessor; the car received new design, improved body aerodynamics, a new luxurious interior and, of course, a new power unit. The model has wheels of different diameters, the front wheels are R19, and the rear wheels are R20.
Design
The appearance of the model is at a high level, almost everyone will like it and in any case it will not go unnoticed on the road. The muzzle has a raised hood in the middle, which has a small air intake. The model's optics are small, petal-shaped, and have LED filling, which adds a plus to the design. The massive bumper has air intakes, aerodynamic elements and the so-called lip, which looks just great.
The car's profile is beautifully shaped, with beautiful stampings directing air to the engine and brakes. Also noticeable from the side are the huge ceramic brakes, beautiful wheels and air duct from the front brakes.
The rear of the Koenigsegg Ager has a small spoiler, the optics are made in an oval shape with LED filling. The radiator grille is divided into 4 rectangular shapes. The bumper has a large exhaust pipe in the middle, and on the sides of it there are two large diffusers.
Body dimensions:
- length – 4293 mm;
- width – 1996 mm;
- height – 1120 mm;
- wheelbase – 2662 mm;
- ground clearance – 100 mm.
Specifications
The prototype of the car was equipped with a 4.7 liter engine, which had 910 Horse power, and now production car received a 5-liter engine, and its power was already 940 horsepower. Maximum power was achieved at 6900 engine rpm. It's a V-8 cylinder engine, equipped with 2 turbines.
The engine is paired with a 7-speed sequential box gear, which transmits the entire equal to 1100 H*m to rear wheels car. Thanks to the engine and gearbox, the 2018 Koenigsegg Agera reaches the first hundred on the speedometer in 3 seconds, and the model’s top speed is 402 km/h. The car will reach 300 km/h in 14.5 seconds, and it will stop from that speed in 6.6 seconds.
There is also an R version, which has a little more power and accelerates to hundreds in 2.9 seconds. Its difference is that the operation of the motor is adapted for biofuel. The engine began to develop power of 1115 horsepower, and torque increased to 1200 H*m.
The car stops just fine, it has a ceramic brake system, the front diameter is 392 mm, and the rear is 380 mm. There are six calipers at the front and 4 at the rear. So, if you accelerated to a speed of 300 km/h in this coupe, then it will take you 7 seconds to come to a complete stop. From a speed of 100 km/h, the model will stop in 30 meters.
Salon
There are only 2 in the car seats, at the same time, despite the fact that this sport car, its interior has a cup holder and niches for small items. The interior is trimmed mainly from leather and Alcantara, but it also has a lot of carbon inserts. The driver will have a three-spoke steering wheel in his hands, behind which hides a very informative dashboard. There are a very large number of sensors on it; at first, the buyer’s eyes will simply run wild.
For the safety of the driver and passenger, the Koenigsegg Ager seats are equipped with 4-point seat belts. It's no secret that some cars are equipped with a small luggage compartment, but in this case it is missing.
The center console has a large touch display at the top, which displays all necessary information about the car, as well as climate control settings and multimedia system. Below are various buttons to control multimedia and the car as a whole, which are designed in the style of all previous models of the company.
Price
This is a car that is not cheap, and its price may change if you want to add something to the car. The base cost is $1,500,000, which is a lot.
As a result this good car, which looks beautiful and accelerates great. The point is that you can find a model that looks better or worse than this one. You can easily find a car that accelerates faster. At the same time you will give less money, but the trick here is exclusivity, you can meet some people in a big city without any problems, but of this manufacturer you won’t notice it anywhere and that’s exactly why you want it.
Despite little experience in the automotive industry, namely 15 years at the time of the release of this car, the manufacturer managed to make the Koenigsegg Agera 2017-2018 beautiful car, and most importantly fast, which competed with many famous sports cars from famous brands.

The maximum power that the Agera R 2013 engine is capable of is 1140 hp.
The turbines are made of an alloy of aluminum and titanium, which greatly reduces the inertia of the turbine.
The engine has a dry sump lubrication system, carbon fiber intake and exhaust system made from Inconel. Lightweight Inconel exhaust system is made from a heat resistant nickel based alloy, TIG welded with ceramic coating and a composite connection to the collector. As a factory lubricant Koenigsegg cars are used motor oils Valvoline.
NANOTECHNOLOGY
The Agera R 2013 engine cylinders use a nanocoating from the Swedish company Nanotech for the first time. It reduces friction piston rings and cylinders, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. Thanks to this, the engine receives more power, And his maximum speed increase from 7250 rpm. up to 7500.
Bore: 91.7 mm, piston stroke: 95.25 mm. Consistent distributed injection fuel, 1.4 bar boost pressure.
TRANSMISSION
Gear shifting is carried out by a 7-speed Cima automatic transmission with a double-disc clutch, with one input shaft transmission and electronic locking differential. The switches are located under the steering wheel.
SUSPENSION
Unique rear suspension Triplex with adjustable horizontal center spring developed in collaboration with Ohlins Racing. Electronic system KES (Koenigsegg Electronic Stability) stabilization has become standard for all Koenigsegg models. Traction control system installed Traction Control F1 style with 5 operating modes, Solid State digital system, allowing electrical diagrams work without relays and fuses.
The control arms are constructed from seamless chrome-moly tubing to minimize weight while maximizing strength and rigidity.
Large bearings add more rigidity to the wheel assembly and give better control, handling and comfort. In order to maximize brake cooling, the struts have large diameter (4.5″) cooling channels for brake discs.
The Agera R has shock absorbers with unique system influence rear wheels Each other. This results in increased comfort and better handling on uneven and wet surfaces.
Sports ABS brake the system has massive 6-piston brake mechanisms with 397 mm carbon-ceramic discs, which are installed on the front axle, 4-piston with 380 mm discs - on the rear. This ensures effective braking regardless of speed or road conditions.
WHEELS
The weight of the car was reduced by 20 kg thanks to the company's engineers' own development - Aircore technology. Lungs wheel disks made of carbon fiber. They are hollow inside; only the inflation valve is made of metal.
The set includes special Michelin tires Supersport, with unidirectional pattern and asymmetrical lines. Such tires can withstand speeds of over 420 km/h.
AERODYNAMICS
With a massive dynamic wing at the rear, the Agera's drag is only 0.33 in mode high speed and 0.37 V sport mode.
The body shape and wind tunnels create an additional 300 kg of downforce at a speed of 250 km/h. The side front fenders for the Agera R 2013 are optimized for vehicle stability during heavy braking high speeds. They provide an additional 20 kg of downforce at the same speed of 250 km/h, and significantly reduce drag. The car is able to withstand lateral overloads of 1.6 g.
New - dynamic rear spoiler. Its angle of attack depends on the speed of the vehicle and changes at any time depending on the level of wind pressure.

The supercar also has airbags and 4-point seat belts. Illumination through micro-holes creates excellent readability of instruments and a clean, stylish appearance.
CONTROL
Modern super-fast hypercars are comfortable and manageable even at the speed limit. But to experience the full potential of the Agera R 2013, you will have to learn how to drive it; the first trip for “dummies” may be the last. Driving the Agera R is a dangerous mixture of adrenaline, horror and delight, and you get used to such a mixture quickly. Ask any racer.
PRICE
For an “eco-friendly rocket” you will have to pay about 1.5 million euros.
INTERESTING FACTS
1) Potential customers have the opportunity to choose any shade and color of the interior and exterior of their supercar through the online configurator of the official Koenigsegg website.
2) Installation is offered as an additional option exhaust system Inconel, rear view camera, heated seats, winter tires, roof rack, ski box and even the skis themselves. Looks like Koenigsegg is in favor leisure.
3) Koenigsegg gives a 3 year warranty on its cars.
4) Koenigsegg Agera R entered the top ten expensive cars in the world.
5) “Whatever you call the yacht, that’s how it will sail.” Agera means "to take action" in Swedish. And the abbreviation from the ancient Greek Ageratos means “eternal.”
6) The very first Agera R car - with a red body, black interior and round steering wheel - was ordered, manufactured and delivered to Royal family Oman.
7) WORLD RECORD
Hypercar Koenigsegg Agera R in standard power 1115 hp Koenigsegg set 6 official world records at the Koenigsegg test site on September 2, 2011.
Acceleration time:
0–300 km/h - 14.53 sec.
0–322 km/h - 17.68 sec.
In 2010, at the Geneva Motor Show, the Swedish company, which quickly established itself in the hypercar market, presented the new Koenigsegg Agera, designed to replace previous model CCX.
The date of the car's presentation was not accidental. As in other cases, it was tied to a round date, this time to the 15th anniversary of the founding of the company.
Christian von Koenisegg, with the tenacity characteristic of the Scandinavians, tried to conquer the next peak, and it cannot be said that the attempt failed. Model came close to the 400 km/h mark, making it one of the fastest cars at the time of its release.
In 2011, an improved version of the Agera R appeared, and in 2013 it underwent a large-scale restyling, as a result of which the car can accelerate to 440 km/h, which puts it on par with the Bugatti Chiron.
Like all hypercars capable of reaching speeds in excess of 350 km/h, the Koenigsegg Agera has almost ideal aerodynamic shapes and a minimal drag coefficient.
The supercar literally presses to the ground - overall height is only 1120 mm, with a ground clearance of 100 mm - thus providing sufficient downforce, especially at high speeds.
The car body is made entirely of carbon fiber to reduce overall weight and is designed like a targa, although the monocoque itself is made of a durable and lightweight aluminum alloy. Windshield secured in a reinforced frame that serves additional element body rigidity.
The rear part of the cockpit has retractable roll bars. The roof is removable in the center - if necessary, it is retracted into a special compartment in the rear of the body, turning the hypercar into a roadster.
Elongated upward headlights are harmoniously located on prominent athletic wings that create a curved hood line. The splitter installed under the front bumper diverts the incoming flow into two volumetric air intakes, from where it is redirected to blow the front brake mechanisms.
A striking feature of the Koenigsegg Agera is unique design door mechanism, called "beetle wing". Unlike the “gull wing”, when the opening is made straight upward, here the door is first separated from the body by 15 mm on a special hinge, and then rotates up and forward at an angle of 90 degrees. In addition to its uniqueness, this design is quite practical - you can park anywhere and getting out of the car will not be a problem.
Interior
The salon is the embodiment of Swedish brevity and the latest technology. The main finishing material is ultra-light carbon - almost everything is made from it, from the interior panels to the seat frame.
The seats and door cards are trimmed with high-quality Alcantara in various color scheme at the request of the client. A display is installed on the center console on-board system, under which there are control keys located in a circle.
Small steering wheel slightly oval in shape in the best racing traditions, and below it are the transmission paddle shifters. The instrument panel is unusual - it has only one massive dial installed in the middle, and on the sides there are additional dials for various on-board systems.
Agera powertrain and transmission
The Swedish engineers must be given credit for what they were able to squeeze out of the engine. Under the hood there is a relatively small engine for a sports car. Koenigsegg Aluminum V8 own development based on the Ford Modular engine, with a volume of only 5.0 liters.
The engineers managed to squeeze out of it as much as 940 hp at 6900 rpm, thanks to a number of technical innovations and biturbo supercharging with a pressure of 1.3 bar. The engine has a dry sump lubrication system, which made it possible to lower it as low as possible to lower the center of gravity and improve weight distribution. The torque is about 1000 Nm, and it is already available in the range from 2700 to 6150 rpm.
Used as a transmission 7-speed sequential gearbox with two clutches and steering wheel paddle shifters. It was developed by Koenigsegg in collaboration with CIMA. Its design provides instant response to gear changes.
In a hypercar rear drive, and to improve handling and passing sharp turns it is equipped with an intelligent traction distribution control system that allows you to change the load between the drive wheels.
Speed characteristics very high:
- maximum speed – 390 km/h;
- acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h – 3.1 s;
- from 0 to 200 – 8.9 s;
- from 0 to 300 – 14.53 s;
- full braking from 300 to 0 – 6.66 s.
IN normal mode When driving on the highway (up to 200 km/h), an 80-liter tank will last approximately 600-650 km. When reaching a speed of over 200 km/h, the indicator drops almost 2 times.
For effective braking, the car is equipped with high-performance ventilated ceramic disc brakes with servo-position supports. Discs with a diameter of 392 mm and a thickness of 36 mm with 6-cylinder calipers are installed on the front axle; 380 mm, 34 mm wide and 4-cyl. are installed on the rear axle.
Specifications
Price
In terms of cost, the hypercar occupies one of the highest positions. IN basic configuration, that is, without installing options in the form of custom interior trim, winter package, etc., the price of Koenigsegg Agera is equal to about $1,400,000 (RUB 79.1 million).
The car is currently not in production, as it has given way to the more powerful Agera R.
Video
At the last Geneva Motor Show, the public's attention was focused on the Bugati Chiron hypercar, while on the other side was an incredible supercar from the crazy hands of Swedish engineers - Koenigsegg Regera 2016 of the year.
The 1,500-horsepower Swedish “king” from Sweden aims to become the most powerful and fastest production hypercar in the world. Despite the main task of making the car the most powerful and fastest, the designers managed to develop and design the body. The aggressive front end resembles a hybrid with its headlight shape, huge diffusers and air intakes. The aerodynamic structure of the body does not provide for the ability to look back; for this purpose, cameras will be installed, as well as electrically adjustable mirrors. The rear part looks elegant and is associated with a rocket that is about to take off. Not to be missed are the many sculpted vents and aerodynamic vents.
Interior of Koenigseg Reger 2016
Interior of the new Koenigseg Reger 2016 model year offers the optimal combination of comfort, functionality and weight savings. There are carbon sports seats trimmed in leather, a multimedia system with touch display like Tesla and even an audio system. The optional Autoskin function allows the driver to open the doors, hood and trunk automatically using an app and a lightweight hydraulic system.
What makes the car fast is the 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 1,100 hp. and 1280 Nm of torque. In addition to this, there are three electric motors that are installed on the rear axle and on the transmission shaft. This, in total, allows the Koenigsegg Regera to demonstrate muscle for 1,500 “horses” in total. Acceleration to hundreds takes 2.8 seconds. Of course, it's slower than the Chiron. However, the model reaches 400 km/h in just 20 seconds and here all competitors are already behind. The engine is powered by a unique single-speed Koenigsegg Direct Drive Transmission (KDD). The electric motors are powered by an 800-volt battery pack. By changing the design of the batteries and cooling system, the engineers managed to lose an extra 25 kg of weight.
Long live the king of biblical proportions, costing 1.9 million euros and limited to 80 cars.

History of the Koenigsegg brand / Koenigsegg
Koenigsegg (Rus. Koenigsegg) is a Swedish manufacturer of exclusive supercars. The company was founded in 1994 by Christian von Koenigsegg, who at that time was only 22 years old. The young Swede set himself the goal of creating the perfect sports car. The first model designed by Christian was the prototype, which received a carbon roof. Throughout 1996 it was tested on race tracks and in wind tunnel Volvo. For the first time to the general public, the Koenigsegg SS prototype was presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997. Later the first international contracts were signed. Already in 2000 Paris Motor Show model presented, ready for serial production, and already in 2002 the first assembled CC8S car left the factory gates.
After a fire in the production hall in 2003, Koenigsegg moved to its current location - former base fighter aircraft, covering an area of 4,000 m2, which was previously home to BBC Sweden. There is a 1.7 km runway next to the buildings - this track is ideal for high-speed vehicle testing. Many Koenigsegg customers take advantage of the opportunity to land their private jets on the runway close to the factory doors. There is also a helipad in front of the main entrance for those traveling by helicopter. Characteristic feature cars of the Koenigsegg brand is the individuality of each model and high-quality speed characteristics. This approach allowed designers and constructors to realize a wide variety of innovative ideas.
In 2007, the company introduced the world's first “green” supercar, which is capable of running on E85 biofuel and produces 1018 hp. In 2010, the new Agera with a 5-liter turbocharged V8 engine was demonstrated at the Geneva Motor Show. A year later, the improved Koenigsegg Agera R model broke the Guinness World Record, accelerating to 300 km/h in just 14.53 seconds. In 2015, this record was broken again - the Koenigsegg One supercar managed to overcome the 300 km/h bar in 11.92 s. In the fall of 2017, the Agera RS model, with a capacity of 1341 horsepower, surpassed the 1500 horsepower Bugatti Chiron, previously considered the most fast car. The Swedish supercar spent only 36.44 seconds to accelerate to 400 km/h and then fully decelerate, beating the target Chiron record 41.96 pp.
