Car of the week: Koenigsegg Agera One:1

   
      A somewhat lesser known super car company comfortably nestled into Sweden, founded by a man named Christian Van Koenigsegg.  This man's dream was to create world-class super cars that could hold their own against cars made by much bigger companies.  And with the newest addition to the legacy of the Agera model line, they might have just made one of the greatest feats of automotive creation ever.  This creation takes the form of a car with an astonishing horsepower to kilogram curb weight ratio of 1:1.  Thus the name One:1, and what this also means is that this is the first street legal series produced car to produce one megawatt of power, thus being dubbed the "Mega-car".

     The truly amazing thing about this car is that it reaches it's maximum power numbers (1341 horsepower) while running on E85 bio-fuel, not racing gasoline.  The engine behind this monster of a car is a twin turbocharged 32 valve V8 with multiple sequential injectors for each cylinder.

     With all of this power, an equally large amount of down force is needed to keep the car glued to the track, and with the assistance of a massive rear spoiler, side and front air splitters, and a flat under body with air convectors in the underside, this car would need nothing short of an explosive charge to go off in order for this car to come unglued from the road.

     What all of these power and numbers add up to is something like this.  A predicted Bugatti-smashing 273 mph top speed, a predicted 6:30.00 time lap around the Nurburgring, pending the recent imposed speed limits are lifted, and a car that is one of the most capable feats of engineering ever to grace this planet.

      I am looking forward to the many, many records that this car will set and break, along with joining the likes of cars like the Hennessey Venom GT as one of the fastest cars in the world.
