Koenigsegg Press Release 1 (10) Koenigsegg Press Release Introducing the production version of The Agera and The Agera R at the Geneva Motor Show – March 2011 This year at the Geneva Motor show Koenigsegg is presenting the brand new Agera R - Quicker than lightning! The Agera R on the Koenigsegg show stand - production car # 83 - is inspired by the legendary Speed Racer theme, as specified by the owner of the car. Speed Racers main colour is white – so is snow. Equipped with special Michelin tires and a custom made Thule Roof Box - Speed Racer is ready to attack the ski resorts! Last year Koenigsegg presented a pre-production version of the upcoming Koenigsegg Agera. Since then the pre-production car and several test mules have continued the Agera development program. The Agera pre-production car has been driven by several influential motoring journals, resulting in raving reviews and awards, such as for example becoming the “Top Gear Hypercar of the Year”. Please see attached quotes from these test-drives. All in all the production versions of the Agera are created to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level both on the road and the track, still maintaining the largest luggage space in the industry in combination with the unique Koenigsegg door system and detachable/stow-able hardtop. There are several differences between the pre-production car previously shown and the production versions. For example, the engine and gearbox configurations are different and some revolutionary interior, chassis and aerodynamic features adorn the production version of the Agera that has never been shown before. For more information, please read the full press release below. For press release images please visit: www.koenigsegg.com TAKE ACTION Although sharing the same values and philosophies as previous Koenigsegg models, the Agera takes the Koenigsegg experience to a completely new level. Similar to all previous Koenigsegg hypercars, the new Agera is the brainchild of Christian von Koenigsegg. The Agera has come to life in order to set new benchmarks for Hypercars when it comes to control, handling, speed, comfort, practicality and sheer driving enjoyment, while combining these features with clean, efficient and beautiful design. The name Agera set the tone for the new project. Agera means “to take action” in Swedish. It is also short for the ancient Greek word Ageratos which means ”ageless”. These two are very suitable meanings, for the car building the future of Koenigsegg. THE DESIGN The Agera is designed with the minimalistic “less is more” philosophy in mind. This philosophy means that the shape of the car has to be purely functional with no added features except those purely needed to meet regulation, added safety, ergonomics, practicality and aerodynamics. We believe that if this philosophy is followed, the car will also be beautiful as it is purely purposeful. A good analogy is the evolution of a dolphin that has had to meet similar criteria in order to reach their present configuration through the evolution of nature. The Agera is proportionate, compact and muscular. Its timeless, efficient and distinctive shape is truly 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 manage to 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. Koenigsegg Automotive AB, SE-262 74 Ängelholm, Sweden. Phone:Koenigsegg +46 431 Automotive 45 44 60, AB, Fax: SE-262 +46 431 74 45 Ängelholm, 44 61, info [email protected],. www.koenigsegg.com VATPhone: SE556574-8018-0 +46 431 45 44 60,1 Fax: +46 431 45 44 61, [email protected], www.koenigsegg.com VAT SE556574-8018-01 2 (10) THE ENGINE Koenigsegg differs from other low volume hypercar manufacturers by the fact that Koenigsegg develops and produces its own engine in-house. This is, by most observers and competitors, deemed as more or less impossible or way too expensive to even consider. However, year after year Koenigsegg has proved them wrong. Not only are the engines developed in-house, they also have class leading characteristics in many important areas. To mention a few: Lightest and most compact hypercar engine in the world, weighing only 197 kg complete with flywheel, clutch, dry sump system, Inconel exhaust manifold with turbo. The low engine weight is quite astonishing, as the Agera engine also has class leading power and torque characteristics. To give an example, the Koenigsegg 5 litre V8 bi-turbo engine develops more than 900 hp on 95 octane regular fuel, and more than 1100 hp on E85 bio fuel. The Agera produces over 1000 Nm of torque from 2500 rpm and in the Agera R format the engine has a peak torque of 1200 Nm over a 3300 rpm rev range, showing great flexibility. These are extraordinary numbers considering the size and reliability of the engine without forsaking drivability or flexibility. This is truly downsizing, without drawbacks. These characteristics make it one of the most flexible and easy to use hypercar engines in the world. To give a hint of how different the Agera engines are compared to other production car engines, it is easy to look at the BMEP value (Brake Mean Effective Pressure) in the cylinders during maximum power output. The best production diesel and petrol engines from other leading manufacturers have a maximum BMEP of around 22 bar. The Agera engine has a BMEP of 28 bar running on 95 octane fuel and the E85 Bio fuel Agera R engines has an astonishing BMEP of 30 bar. These numbers show how extreme the Koenigsegg engines are compared to any other production engine in the world. The reason why Koenigsegg can obtain such BMEP figures is due to some proprietary and critical factors, such as: − A unique shape of the combustion chambers, improving the resistance against detonation. − High cylinder head clamp load, enabled by a specially designed engine block. This has proven to give a zero failure rate to combustion overpressure, even considering the extreme cylinder pressures. − A unique engine block design, where the cylinder sleeves are used to further stiffen the aluminium block. − A connecting rod design reducing TDC dwell time and therefore enabling higher mean pressures without detonation. − Exhaust manifold and intake plenum trumpets designed to ensure absence of RPM peak resonance and back pressure. − An efficient ejector pump system reducing the crankcase pressure and aerodynamic losses. The Koenigsegg engines also meet all the required emission standards in the world. This is nothing short of astounding, given their size and power output. Koenigsegg has its own engine lab, with simulation programs, rapid prototyping machines, engine and chassis dynamometers, and a 1.7 km test track adjacent the factory enabling Koenigsegg to take the cars to 0-320-0 km/h at any time. Furthermore, a 25 minute drive away from the Koenigsegg Factory there is Knutstorp Racetrack, which is described by many as a miniature Nordschleife. Here Koenigsegg can put the engine and car through serious testing and make sure they work in perfect harmony. This gives Koenigsegg unique possibilities to develop technologies normally exclusive to much larger companies. No other production engine in the world, regardless of car type, has the same amount of power potential compared to its EU cycle average CO2 emission(310g of CO2) or cycle fuel consumption( 14,7 litre per 100 km / 16MPG). However, what makes Koenigsegg most proud is how drivable, smooth, responsive, torquey and reliable the engines are – especially given their extreme performance. The Agera engine complies with the most stringent environmental regulations in the world, EU5 and LEV2, and delivers a significant power increase compared to previous Koenigsegg engines. Koenigsegg Automotive AB, SE-262 74 Ängelholm, Sweden. Phone:Koenigsegg +46 431 Automotive 45 44 60, AB, Fax: SE-262 +46 431 74 45 Ängelholm, 44 61, info [email protected],. www.koenigsegg.com VATPhone: SE556574-8018-0 +46 431 45 44 60,1 Fax: +46 431 45 44 61, [email protected], www.koenigsegg.com VAT SE556574-8018-01 3 (10) Fuel consumption, and thus CO2 emissions, has been lowered. This is an astonishing feat for a 900+ hp hypercar. Turbo response is of vital importance when it comes to driving pleasure and the possibility to control massive amounts of power. Therefore Koenigsegg has joined forces with Borg Warner and adapted to the latest technology when it comes to turbine materials. The Agera R turbines are 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. Furthermore Koenigsegg has coupled this latest generation turbo technology with patent pending and proprietary response/back pressure reduction system, invented by Christian von Koenigsegg to really give the Agera engine a competitive edge when combining maximum power while complying with the strictest emission regulations in the world. Furthermore the large air to air intercooler on the left side of the engine sucks enormous amounts of fresh air, eliminating the need for water in the intercooling system, thereby saving weight and avoiding heat soak issues, during extended performance driving. Following the Koenigsegg tradition the engine has a dry sump lubrication in order to lower the engine as far as possible in the chassis and have full control of the crankcase oil even given the massive g-forces involved. The large 80-litre tank ensures long driving range, due to the relatively low average consumption. The Agera follows the previous generation Koenigsegg and has its fuel tank well protected, built-in centrally into the carbon fibre monocoque chassis.

  • 2012 Koenigsegg Agera
    SPIRIT OF PERFORMANCE When I started developing the first Koenigsegg cars in 1994, I knew we had to be different and excel in many areas, in order to become what we are today. At Koenigsegg, good is never enough. We strive for perfection and the moving target of ultimate performance, in every aspect. Whether it is emotion, speed, elegance, comfort or drivability – we make sure to raise the bar. Each detail is lovingly honed to perfection. We combine extreme attention to detail with focus and passion. All available time, emotion, and resources have been spent. Nothing has been spared – everything has been ventured and sacrificed – in order to create a car beyond imagination. In 1994, Christian von Koenigsegg captivated the automotive I truly feel that our cars have souls. We have poured our hearts world when he penned the original Koenigsegg Competition Coupe into them. (CC). Four car generations later, the Agera is born. You will feel it when driving one. The name Agera means “to take action” in Swedish and is short for the ancient Greek word ageratos (ageless) – two meanings quite suitable for a vehicle that shatters industry benchmarks and lays the foundation for Koenigsegg’s future. A bespoke, 1.140 hp Koenigsegg DOHC bi-turbo V8 propels the newest iteration of the iconic Koenigsegg design into action. Sixty miles per hour passes in a scant three seconds as the Agera races towards a 273 mph speed ceiling. With a list of patents and industry firsts, the Agera as a whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts.
