2011 koenigsegg agera r car review

The Agera R has an upgraded fuel and engine management system that has enough flow capacity to generate 1115 hp and 1200 nm of torque on E85 and E100 bio fuel. As there is less energy content per given volume in these bio fuels compared to normal petrol, the fuel-system has to manage a flow that is similar to 2000 petrol hp, which means that the return less fuel system fo the Agera R has the highest capacity of any car presently in production.

As the Agera R is a flex fuel car. It is also possible to run the R on normal petrol. As 95 octane fuel has less octane than E85, the power goes down to 940 hp and 1100 nm of torque, as the boost pressure and ignition timing is altered to match the fuel characteristics.

Koenigsegg now also offer an R version of the Agera for countries that does not have E85 or E100 readily available. This non bio-fuel version has to be run on a minimum of 98 octane fuel and has been optimized to give an output of 1050 hp and 1140 nm of torque.

In order to give the Agera maximum flexibility when it comes to power delivery, Koenigsegg has joined forces with Borg Warner and adapted to the latest technology when it comes to turbine materials. The Agera R turbines are therefore made from a material called Gamma-Ti, which is an inter metallic compound comprised of Aluminium and Titanium. This new material drastically reduces the inertia of the turbine wheel and axle and therefore gives improved response.

Triplex rear suspensionChristian von Koenigsegg has invented and pioneered a new type of rear suspension system for a road car – the Triplex rear suspension. The Agera R comes with the Triplex rear suspension as standard and therefore has a shock absorber and spring connecting the right and left rear wheel. This system gives unique benefits as the two rear wheels can influence one another when desired.

There are multiple benefits of this system. For example, the extra spring and damper works in series with the normal spring and dampers allowing their spring and damping rates to be lowered. This results in increased comfort and better handling on rough and wet surfaces without compromising dry track handling.

Furthermore the RTD system has an anti-squat effect. Traditional anti-squat systems are designed into the geometry of the suspension. These systems do not add any components or weight. However they compromise the geometry of the suspension for other aspects of handling than anti-squat.

By adding the RTD system, Koenigsegg can maintain true suspension geometries for handling, but still have the anti-squat feature and harvest other new found benefits. As the RTD system compliments the normal dampers and springs, these can be made lighter. Hence, the added benefit does not significantly affect the overall system weight.

Dynamic rear wingHypercars of today generate massive amounts of down force in low to medium speed and less down force in very high speed, in order not to overload the tires and not to create too much drag. Most hypercars therefore have heavy hydraulically operated wings and flaps to cater for this need.

Koenigsegg however, following the "less is more" philosophy, has designed a dynamic system to that take care of the above described needs. This system is standard on the Agera R and optional on the normal Agera.

The most visual and obvious part of this system is the new dynamic rear wing. The wing changes its angle of attack, not with the help of hydraulics, but with the pressure of the wind. It is therefore dynamically controlled by the speed or wind resistance at any given moment in time and thus actually compensates for headwind or tailwind at the same given speed. This is an intelligent way of dealing with adaptive aerodynamics, as the system becomes lighter, less complex and more intuitive compared to heavy and complex hydraulics systems. Koenigsegg had to work heavily with CFD in order to create the dynamically controlled adaptive aerodynamics of the Agera.

Furthermore, an interesting multifunction feature of the adaptive wing is that the pylons for the wing also act as air extrusion channels. The air channels goes from the engine bay to the back of the pylons, thereby creating an air passage. This causes a venturi effect, from the air rushing past the pylon, evacuating hot engine bay gases, reducing pressure in the engine bay and increasing the flow of cooling air through the side radiators. This also means that the pressure under the car is reduced and giving more low drag down force.

All these added features to the Agera R truly make it unique. The normal Agera already has a performance out of this world, still the Agera R manages to push it just that little bit further

Koenigsegg Cars Review

For someone who seeks hell raising speed packaged in a sleek design, a Koenigsegg car is often a breathtaking temptation.
Established in 1994 by Christian von Koenigsegg, the Koenigsegg Automotive AB is a leading company in the production of high-performance sports cars. The company is based in Ängelholm, a locality in Skåne County, Sweden, and since the release of its first street-legal car in 2002, Koenigsegg has been involved not only in developing and manufacturing supercars, but also in development programs on flex fuel, plug-in electric cars’ system and next-generation combustion engines.

This kind of technology which is advanced in many ways led to the existence of Koenigsegg CCX. Marked with a speed that reaches up to 245 mph, twin superchargers that just hang around behind the passenger compartment and a bhp of 806 to achieve a whopping 62 mph in only 3.2 seconds.Koenigsegg

KOENIGSEGG TREVITA

Koenigsegg Trevita is a true supercar jewel which represents new design heights in the automobile world. The name Trevita comes from the Swedish language and it means – three whites. At first glance, the Trevita’s body looks same as the CCXR’s, but with one big difference, the new Trevita is fully shaped in diamond white carbon using the new Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave technology.


With the new and unique technology, Koenigsegg has managed to coat fibers with a diamond finish. The process was fully developed at Koenigsegg headquarters in Angelholm Sweden, where the fiber treatment is conducted carefully in small quantities, prior to further processing the prepreg material.



And now the most interesting part, Koenigsegg said that they will only produce three Trevitas in total, hence the name, which automatically enthrones the supercar jewel as one of the most rare cars in the world.


Although there were no information on the Trevita’s powertrain, we believe that it will inherit the CCXR’s one. But for sure the three cars will be equipped with Koenigsegg Shimmering Diamond Weave bodywork, double carbon wing, paddle-shift, inconell exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes with ABS, hydraulic lifting system, infotainment system, tyre monitoring system, chrono instrument cluster and airbags.


When sunlight hits the car, it sparkles like millions of silvery white diamonds infused inside the visible carbon-fiber-weave bodywork.


Trevita is an abbreviation in Swedish and translates into “three whites.” The Koenigsegg’s visible carbon-weave bodywork is renowned around the globe for its perfection and uniqueness. However, so far, it has only been possible to utilize the classic black carbon fibers.


As Koenigsegg always strives to create new unique technologies and solutions, it has now reached a new milestone—the Koenigsegg proprietary diamond weave.

By utilizing a new and unique method, Koenigsegg has managed to coat fibers with a diamond finish. The process was fully developed at Koenigsegg headquarters in Ängelholm, Sweden, where the fiber treatment is conducted carefully in small quantities, prior to further processing the pre-preg material.


Koenigsegg will only produce three Trevitas in total, hence the name. This makes the Trevita one of the rarest cars in the Koenigsegg family cars.

KOENIGSEGG AGERA R

Swedish exotic supercar makers Koenigsegg revealed a range-topping marvel of engineering achievement in the Agera R, a supercar boasting as much as 1,099 horsepower depending on your fuel of choice.


The rest of the spec sheet is equally ludicrous, with maximum torque listed at 885 lb-ft at 4,100 rpm, and “over 737 lb-ft” from 2,700 to 6,170 rpm when drinking the same E85 ethanol needed to produce the max horsepower rating of 1,099 at 6,900 rpm. Switching to 98 octane unleaded will drop the Agera R’s output to just 940 horsepower.



Although the power figures are impressive enough, two two figures that will likely grab the attention of most hardcore automotive enthusiasts in the days of the 1,200 horsepower Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, would be the Agera R’s scant weight of 2,932 lbs, and its lateral g-force capability of 1.6! To put the car in perspective, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport tips the scales at 4,053 lbs, which likely explains why it tops out at 1.4g’s of lateral acceleration.

The Agera R will scoot from a stop to 60 in just 2.9 seconds, then on to 124 mph in 7.5 seconds, and a top speed of 245 mph – which falls short of the Super Sport’s top speed by about 22 mph. All of this power and speed comes from an aluminum 5.0-liter V8 which features four valves per cylinder, twin turbochargers and a seven-speed dual clutch.


Standard features include: dual airbags, detachable storable hardtop with glass roof, power windows, adaptive rear wing, adjustable pedals and steering column, Agera stitching, adjustable seats in rake and length, carbon ceramic brakes with Sport ABS, hydraulic lifting system, power steering, power brakes, extra four-point seatbelts for track use, Satellite-navigation, Intelligent LifePo4 battery, MP3 player, USB connection, climate control, digital warning and info system, G sensor, alarm, tire monitoring system, silver key, leather carpets, roof storage bag and a car cover.

Options include: fitted luggage, special leather and colors, fully visible carbon fiber body panels, Inconel exhaust, front winglets, rear-view camera, heated seats, a ski box for the roof and a winter wheel package.


The insanity that is the Agera R can be had for the low, low price of just $1.4 million U.S.

KOENIGSEGG AGERA

Koenigsegg will surprise us with a new supercar next week at the Geneva Motor Show in Geneva. Called "AGERA"(which means "to act" in Swedish or "ageless"in Greek), the new supercar will be limited to 16-20 cars per year. The first orders will be taken at the Geneva Motor Show, while the first customers will receive their cars at the end of the year.


The Agera is powered by the same 4.7-liter V8 that delivers 910hp at 6850rpm total-redline and a maximum torque of 1100nm at 5100rpm. The car only weights 2832 pounds and de0 sprints to 62 mph in 3.1 seconds and 124 mph in 8.9 seconds. Top speed climbs to over 245 mph.



The Agera latest features in braking technology, integrating an adjustable system ABS, 392 × 36 × 34 and 380 drilled and ventilated ceramic discs. Also a first in the automotive industry is the interior illumination: the light Ghost. The light shines through the machined aluminum buttons and the surfaces of nanotubes by invisible, creating excellent visibility of symbols, as well as a very clean and elegant, surrounded by a carbon center fbre any new console and tunnel assembly.


Koenigsegg celebrate 15 years of making dream cars, by unleashing their latest jewel – the Koenigsegg Agera. A new supercar aimed to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level, both on the road and the track.


Agera, the Swedish verb “to act”, has been chosen as the name for Koenigsegg´s latest super creation, as it symbolizes the Koenigsegg philosophy well. Koenigsegg is always striving forward, seeking challenges beyond limitations. The new supercar Agera is an outcome of that creative process and its functions respond very well to the given name.

When we believe in something, we do it. We act. the car also has to act, when commanded to unleash its performance, forcefully and fawlessly. The development of the Agera has been evolutionary, following the Koenigsegg tradition of continuous improvements, by honing and perfecting the end result, all based on previous experience and innovative mindsets. The focus when developing the Agera was to maximize, driving experience, cornering speed, braking and adaptability, says Christian von Koenigsegg.


Koenigsegg Agera Testament to Time


The Koenigsegg Agera is a testament to time. The original shape and concept of the Koenigsegg CC, created 15 years ago, is still valid, fresh and highly competitive today. The Agera still stay true to the original philosophy, shape and size of the original CC. At the same time, it looks, feels and performs like something belonging to the future, with all new content.


 A Supercar is not better than the tires it use, as it is the only link between the road and the car. Therefore Koenigsegg has a deep and long term collaboration with Michelin, when it comes to tire development. The Agera program will take this collaboration to the next level and is expected to set new standards when it comes to overall performance -wet as well as dry handling. The Agera is as wide at the front as in the rear of the car. This gives very good balance in corners and minimizes body roll.


 The Agera also features the latest in braking technology, incorporating an adjustable ABS system, 392×36 and 380×34 ventilated and drilled ceramic discs, for unparalleled braking performance and zero fade regardless of track or road condition.Thanks to optimized breathing and Twin Turbo, power is now 910 hp, running on regular petrol. Torque is maximum 1100 nm and is reached at 5100 rpm. There is over 1000 nm of torque available from 2680 to 6100 rpm.

So it will definitely be a real joy to have a ride in such a wonderful car. Lets have a look on Bugatti Veyron Price, Features and Technical specifications.

KOENIGSEGG CCGT

Koenigsegg has created a new race car - the CCGT, based on the production CC-model range. The CCGT complies with the ACO and FIA GT1 regulations.


The CCGT engine is based on the Koenigsegg CCX production engine with the superchargers removed but enlarged to 5.0 litre.


The reliability of the race engine is expected be exceptional as it is based on the proven strength and durability of the signifi cantly more powerful road car engine.


The minimum weight allowed for a GTI race car is 1,100 kg and most manufacturers struggle to meet this target, having to undergo massive weight saving programs.



Due to the fact the Koenigsegg CC cars are very light and stiff in road configuration, the racing CCGT weighs in at just under an astounding 1,000 kg. This gives the possibility to place 100 kg of ballast freely within the car structure, still following the set rules. This should give Koenigsegg an interesting advantage over the competition.


The CCGT has very short overhangs, which could be seen as an issue when it comes to generating enough downforce. However, by further developing the clever and “slippery” design concept of the CC range, Koenigsegg believes they have created a unique package incorporating a surprising amount of down-force combined with a very compact package and optimal weight distribution. Since the CCGT has a short overall length and low overall height, whilst still maintaining adequate track width and length, it is thereby gifted with superior agility compared to most of the competition, which should be evident in future heated racing combats.

The Koenigsegg CCGT development team, headed by Dag Bölenius, has done a superb job by refining the CC into the CCGT.

The race engine is being developed in-house in parallel with the production units by Koenigsegg engineers, supported by Anders Hoglund from Cargine engineering and JP Motorsport.


The Koenigsegg CCGT was created for the sole purpose of racing in FIA GT1 World Championship. But when the car was finished, the regulations in FIA GT1 were changed. According to the new regulations, a minimum of 350 cars must be produced per year of the actual model that is going to compete. Since the production volumes of the Swedish manufacturer of supercars are much less than this, the company wouldn’t been able to enter the car in GT1 racing.


The CCGT engine is based on the 4.7 liter 806hp Koenigsegg CCX production engine. But to meet the FIA GT1 regulations, the CCGT engine had to be down tuned by removing the superchargers. But it’s also been bored out to 5.0 liters. This normally aspirated engine produces 640 horsepower. There is a sequential six-speed racing gearbox that can be paddle operated.

The minimum weight allowed for a GT1 race car is 1,100kg and the racing CCGT weighs in at just under an 1,000kg. This gives the possibility to place 100kg of ballast freely within the car structure, still following the set rules. This should give Koenigsegg an interesting advantage over the competition.


It would have been interesting to see this car participating in the FIA GT1 series, but too bad it never came so far. The result is that only one Koenigsegg CCGT has been made, making it unintentionally the most exclusive and rare Koenigsegg built so far.

KOENIGSEGG CCR

CCR is the extreme version of the CC, a supercar made by the Swedish manfacturer, Koenigsegg. Now, ten years after the project's inception, the CCR exhibits several technological improvments to engine, chassis and body. As a result, the CCR has become the fastest production car ever, as proved by a recent run around Nardo proving grounds.


Record Nardo Run

February the 28th 2005 - Driven by Loris Bicocchi, the Koenigsegg CCR broke the production road car speed record, achieving a new official top speed of 388 (387.87) km/h at Italy's Nardo Track. Thus, the CCR has broke the official McLaren F1 record of 386.7 km/h, which was set using a prototype called the XP5.


Koenigsegg say the CCR was 'technically standard', having tires, ride height, engine configuration, wheel geometries, gearbox, clutch, brakes, boost pressure matching the production car's specification.


The record run was celebrated at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show, where both the record car, joined by a silver counterpart were on display. Since that time, the CCR has been approved for inclusion into the Guinness Book of World Records.



In Breif: The CCR


The CCR's performance has been increased mainly due the development of the CCR engine, which sports a new Lysholm supercharger and titanium exhaust. These components help engine's power reach 806 hp (601 Kw), while maintaining a torque curve that has high figures over a broad revolution band.


Power aside, the CCR is distinguihsed outwardly by its boldly shaped side air apatures and front splitter. Also included are larger brakes, new racing shock absorbers, a monocoque carbonfibre intake plenum, the CCR advanced throttle and the larger 19 inch front wheels. These modifications all contribute to place the CCR at the very top among supercars.


Lysholm Twin-Screw Compressor

The Koenigsegg CCR engine is equipped with a Lysholm Screw Compressor, which has several advantages to the common centrifugal compressor. It creates a higher boost-pressure at lower rpm, thus increasing both acceleration and control at low speed. Lag time during shifts and on-off throttling are reduced to a minimum.


The twin screw principle is also highly energy efficient, which contributes to the extreme power and torque of the CCR machine. Boost-pressure in the CCR carbonfibre plenum reaches levels as high as 1.3 bar, considerably higher than that of any competitor. The Lysholm supercharger is the alone on the market today to combine both a positive displacement design for maximum low-end torque and highly effiecient top-end horsepower output. Also emission levels at high speed and boost are lower than with other turbo- and supercharging systems.


VPS Shock Absorbers


To further enhance the unmatched road holding and handling of the Koenigsegg suspension set-up, the CCR is equipped with new shock absorbers, custom built and developed for the Koenigsegg CCR by VPS, Italy. These shocks are produced only in small series for racing purposes and have the advantage of greater adaptability and lower weight than any other on the market. These superb shocks also allow extensive fine tuning to suit the racetrack or driver preferences. Koenigsegg test driver Loris Biccochi, world-renowned for his expertise in motoring, has personally participated in the development of the CCR shocks. Their appearance is equally striking; all parts are of machined metal, the surface is of titanium coloured anodized aluminium.


CCR Cylindrical Throttle


The Koenigsegg team of engineers has implemented Formula One technology in the construction of the Koenigsegg CCR Cylindrical Throttle. It is a vital part of their effort to optimize intake air flow to the engine and reduce drag to a minimum. The amount of intake air is controlled by the precise rotation of a cylinder, through which an oval channel leads air into the plenum. This unique barrel-design greatly increases the sensitivity and response at low-end throttling, while at the high-end the perfectly unobstructed flow of air generates a higher horsepower output. It has been developed to work in perfect harmony with the Lysholm Screw Compressor, which creates such a high boost-pressure as to make ordinary throttles unstable. The massive metal cylinder is also very effective in dampening the whistle-like sound from the compressor below certifiable levels. For patent reasons we unfortunately cannot exhibit any images of this device.


Carbonfibre Air Intake Plenium

The Koenigsegg CCR engine incorporates an air intake plenum chamber made of carbonfibre. It was designed and modelled by Koenigsegg engineers exclusively for the CCR. It helps to increase the engine's perfomance in a number of ways; it lowers the weight of the car by around 11 kg, it provides a more aerodynamic flow of air into the engine and moves the pressure centre closer to the cylinders, thus decreasing throttle lag time. The plenum is shaped to allow a stream of cooling air pass between it and the engine block in order to keep the charged intake air as cool as possible.


Titanium Exhaust System


The CCR has a full titanium exhaust system. Besides the aestetic splendour of this multi-coloured shimmering metal, it brings several advantages to this record-braking supercar. Titanium is a material with the strength of steel and the lightness of aluminium, yet it is virtually insensitive to high temperature. Using this exquisite metal enables the construction of an exhaust system out of very thin material without adding extra heat insulation, which adds to the efficiency of the catalytic converters.


The CCR Titanium Exhaust weighs less than half of its stainless steel predecessor. It is also slightly refined both in the design of the manifolds and the position of the cats, in order to further minimize drag. This unmatched exhaust system was designed and developed by Koenigsegg and the titanium parts are custom made exclusively for Koenigsegg in Sweden. The brutal yet sophisticated roar of the CCR ows much to this exhaust, the very hard and thin metal emits a crystal clear interpretation of that wonderful noise.


CCR Brakes


The Koenigsegg CCR brakes are specially developed for the model by AP-Racing. They feature a new technology that ensures perfectly intact braking capacity depite the unavoidable termal shifts in the brake-disc. The discs are not mounted in a fixed position to the wheels, but are allowed to move a fraction of a millimeter in all directions, i.e. what is called floating mount. This serves to absorb any termal shift, which in combination with the Koenigsegg brake ventilation system makes the brakes exeptionally stable at any driving (racing) condition. Koenigsgg has chosen to go against the currently trendy ceramic or ceramic-composite discs. Such materials are new and exiting, but has as of yet not proven neither as reliable nor as subtle as using steel alloy for brake discs.


CCR Aerodynamics


The body of the CCR shows some new features when compared with the CC 8S. Most notable are the redesigned side air intakes and the new headlights. The air intakes' new shape is an improvement both aestetically and aerodynamically. This design allows more air to be pulled into the cavity and increases the air pressure on the actual cooler, which makes the oil cooler and intercooler work more efficiently.

The CCR is also equipped with a front splitter made of carbonfibre. It funcions as a dividing plane that determines which part of the air-flow that shall pass above or below the vehicle. The purpose is to better define the jetstream that rushes in under the car and builds up the venturi effect, which glues the car to the ground. A fluctuating or turbulent such jet-stream causes the downforce to be unstable, which can result in a loss of road holding during high speed cornering. This discrete splitter is also designed to increase frontal downforce, both by pushing more air upwards and toward the sides and by prolonging the curvature of the integrated wing on the underside of the bumper. Airpressure on the main radiator and brake cooling inlets is also greater,which further enhances the excellent performance of the Koenigsegg CCR.


For racing purposes Konigsegg has developed the Twin Fin Wings, a pair of triangular fin-like wings made of carbonfibre. They are mounted horizontally on the rear hood and leaves a gap between them to allow the driver better rear view. They can easily be removed if the drives so prefers. Their purpose is to increase rear downforce, which is not necessary in other than the extremest of racing circumstances, since the design of the rear hood with its integrated wing in itself provides sufficient downforce. These wings are therefore a customer option, and they are delivered coloured or in clear-coat carbon according to the buyer' s choice.

KOENIGSEGG CCX

The Koenigsegg CCX in essence is an updated version of the successful CC/CCR models. The main aim of developing this car, according to Swedish auto maker Koenigsegg, is to allow their company to penetrate the world market, particularly the United States. The CCX, which first appeared during the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, is so named because this is an acronym that stands for Competition Coupe X, with the X marking the 10 years since the first CC car was developed in 1996.But the X could have stood for another word: extreme.



So what are the modifications made for the CCX? It is essentially the CCR with a lot of modifications made. The front bumper was made to comply with low speed collisions rules, and to be able to comply with rear impact rules, the body was lengthened by 88 millimeters. Additional headroom of 2 inches is also incorporated in order to fit larger people in the car. And perhaps most importantly, Koenigsegg has designed a new engine in order to meet emissions standards and to make it capable of running on octane 91 fuel.


Performance

First, the aerodynamically contoured CCX is constructed out of carbon fiber and Kevlar. This structure contributes to its light curb weight. And just how aerodynamic this car is? The drag coefficient for the CCX was rated at 0.30, a phenomenally low figure. Its design, together with its set of diffusers, spoilers, and vortex generators, is known to generate some serious down force; 60 kilograms on the front and 65 kilograms on the rear at 120 miles per hour. The wheels used for this car are made from magnesium alloy, though it can be upgraded to a carbon/magnesium composite wheel that is lighter by 3 kilograms compared to the standard wheels. Providing the stopping power is 14.3 inch disc brakes located at all 4 wheels.


The engine on this car is a V8 engine similar to the Ford Modular engines that they have used in the CC and CCR. But it was thoroughly modified to the point that it can be considered a brand new engine in itself. Featuring a lighter yet stronger heat treated aluminum engine block; it is equipped with 2 superchargers that are capable of creating boost of up to 17.5 psi. The output is rated at 806 horsepower while using 91 octane gasoline. This engine is mated with a 6 speed dual clutch manual transmission designed by Cima, though a sequential manual is optional equipment.


More

The performance numbers of the Koenigsegg CCX simply cannot be denied. Acceleration numbers of zero-to-100 kilometers per hour at 3.2 seconds and zero-to-200 kilometers per hour at 9.8 seconds indicates that this car is a force to be reckoned with. And a zero-to-300-to-zero time of 29.2 seconds (done by Sport Auto) is a record holder. And in 2007, it held the record for the fastest lap time recorded in the TV show Top Gear, clocking in at 1:17.6 seconds.


There is no doubt that the Koenigsegg CCX is one extreme car. Achieving numbers most cars can only dream of, it is a creation that is built to achieve extreme speed.
