You have a point Hoovey

But let's say the Sultan of Brunei wants to buy this.........but didn't make the cut (for the six units). I don't Koenigsegg should waste the opportunity since the dude is paying

Supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg chose to name its new supercar the One:1, after its metric power to weight ratio, which is precisely that (in PS/kg), or, in other words, it puts out as much horsepower as it has kilograms to carry around. This makes it lighter than the already mind-bogglingly fast Agera on which it’s based, thanks to a chassis and body combo that’s reportedly 20 percent lighter.

All this, courtesy of a revised version of the force-fed V8 of five liters in displacement, a variation of the unit Koenigsegg has used from the very start of its 20 history – this car is meant as a symbolic culmination of those two decades in the business. Koenigsegg says it delivers 1 Megawatt of power, which equals 1,360PS or 1,341hp and weighs 1,360kg or 2,998 lbs.

It really is an amazing ratio that will put it ahead, performance-wise, of the new hybrid hypercars, of which the McLaren P1 was recently tested, resulting in many gaping mouths and dry eyes by end of the video… The P1 has 647 hp/ton, or 0.647 hp/kg, so the Koenigsegg is around 30 percent faster, at least on paper (and in all fairness, not off the line, either, unless the Swedish cars has 400-section rear tires).

Performance for the One:1 should be borderline-ludicrous, and while Koenigsegg has yet to announce final figures, the company's boss had previously mentioned that the hypercar will complete the 0–400 km/h (249mph) sprint in about 20 seconds.

Koenigsegg promises it will do corners too, and in fact, they say it wasn’t built only for top speed runs, featuring active aerodynamics like all of the established names; thanks to all the spoilers you see on it, it can reportedly pull your face to the side with a force of 2G, while at 260 km/h or 160 mph it’s having 610 kg (1344 lbs) push it against the road.

It should be good for 440+ km/h or 275+ mph, which would put it ahead the current semi-official record holder, the Hennessey Venom, one of the few truly comparable cars to this mad Swede.

Other novel features the One:1 will come with are a multitude of 3D-printed parts (turbocharger housing with better low end grunt, titanium exhaust that’s about a pound lighter than its aluminum counterpart) and active noise cancellation, when other supercar manufacturers are pumping sound back into the cabin.

If you were wondering, no, you won’t be able to buy one (of the six being made) as it was “fully pre-sold prior to introduction.” The car will make its debut at the Geneva motor show next week, where “many more exciting and new features will be presented.”

Waiting for the big debut

We can now share some video footage of the exclusive Koenigsegg One:1 arriving at the Geneva Motor Show for preparation works. Following a clip of the Porsche 918 Spyder beeing unloaded by employees, thanks to Shmee150 you can watch the Swedish megacar also parking in the staff area.

As we have already mentioned, the Koenigsegg One:1 will be built in a limited series of six units and all carshave already been sold.

Attention One-Percenters, your latest ultra-exotic, limited-edition hypercar is finally here, revealed in full today at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. It's called the Koenigsegg One:1, and it should be an insane road-going time machine that transports you to future sections of roads in the blink of an eye. We first brought you details on the One:1 as far back as November 2012. Since then there have been plenty of rumors but now we have the definitive details on the world’s newest supercar.

Marking 20 years since the formation of the Koenigsegg skunk works in Sweden, the One:1 is very much a Koenigsegg product, one based on the Agera line of supercars recently launched in the U.S.. However, numerous upgrades mean it’s virtually an all-new car.

The car gets its name from the fact that it produces one horsepower for every kilogram of weight. Koenigsegg calls it the world’s first production ‘Megawatt’ car, because of its 1,000-kilowatt power rating. For readers in the U.S., that translates to about 1,340 horsepower, which means, you guessed it, the car weighs just 1,340 kilograms (2,954 pounds)--taking into account all necessary fluids and even the weight of an average size driver. This was achieved via a 20 percent lighter chassis and body compared to the Agera, made using advanced carbon fiber.

By comparison, the world’s fastest production car, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (according to Guinness) develops only 1,183 horsepower and weighs more than 4,000 pounds. Performance, as you would expect given the insane power to weight ratio of the One:1, will be nothing short of amazing.

Koenigsegg is confident the car will set new acceleration records for 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph), 0-300 km/h (0-186 mph) and even 0-400 km/h (0-248 mph) sprints. The latter could be as quick as 20 seconds.

As for top speed, Koenigsegg says that’s not a priority for the One:1, since it is a track-focused car. However, the company is confident the One:1 could eclipse the Veyron Super Sport’s 267.8 mph speed record and go on to pass 273 mph!

But if you’re thinking the One:1 won’t be able to handle corners like its Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1 rivals, then you’d be wrong. The vehicle is capable of developing up to 2 g of cornering force and at speeds in excess of 160 mph its trick aerodynamics allows it to produce 1,344 pounds of downforce, which is comparable with the P1. The aero setup is fully active and consists of independent left and right front flaps under the front splitter and hydraulically-actuated rear wing.

The engine fitted to the One:1 is Koenigsegg’s own twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 design. It uses variable geometry turbochargers also designed by Koenigsegg and whose housing is constructed using a 3D printing process. The exhaust, a titanium setup, is also 3D printed. Drive goes to the rear wheels only, via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox that was also designed by Koenigsegg.

In the cabin, things are equally advanced. There is an active chassis system that can adjust the ride height and shock absorbing level based on data collected from 3G and GPS services. Koenigsegg says the setup is even effective when at the track. And there's a custom app and cloud network that, among other things, will enable owners to remotely track their car, its fuel level and battery status as well as access the latest software. The seats, meanwhile, are carbon fiber and feature memory foam.

Only six examples will be built, and all of them have been been pre-sold. Not like it matters now, but the going price is believed to be around $2 million.

On August 12 of this year, Koenigsegg officially turns 20. For those unfamiliar with Koenigsegg, the company was founded by Swede Christian von Koenigsegg. He was just 22 when he started the company, setting out with an idea to create a sports car that was like nothing in existence, and that would be desired.

The concept, which remains to this day, was for a lightweight mid-engined car with a detachable, stowable roof. It also had to have a wraparound screen for good visibility and aerodynamics. Finally, it had to have a timeless and efficient appearance that would age like good wine, and so it has, since Koenigsegg’s first car, the CC8S, right up to the latest One:1.

The engine fitted to the One:1 is Koenigsegg’s own twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 design. It uses variable geometry turbochargers also designed by Koenigsegg and whose housing is constructed using a 3D printing process. The exhaust, a titanium setup, is also 3D printed. Drive goes to the rear wheels only, via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox that was also designed by Koenigsegg.

Christian von Koenigsegg oversees the final preparation of the first Koenigsegg One:1 Megacar ahead of The Geneva Motor Show. The One:1 attains a power to weight ratio of 1 horsepower to every 1 kg of curb weight through unprecedented weight saving measures.
