Koenigsegg One:1

## Description

The Koenigsegg One:1 was presented at the March 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Koenigsegg built six cars apart from the car presented at the Geneva Motor Show. All of which were already sold. Koenigsegg took two cars to the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where they were displayed alongside other hypercars such as the McLaren P1, the Ferrari LaFerrari, the Porsche 918 Spyder and the Pagani Huayra.

The Koenigsegg One:1 is fitted with a variant of the same 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine used in the other Agera variants. It produces 1,360 PS (1,000 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 1,371 N⋅m (1,011 lb⋅ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm. Total weight of the engine is only 197 kg (434 lb) thanks to a carbon fiber intake manifold and the aluminium construction. The transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch paddle shift.

The name One:1 comes from the power-to-weight ratio (1,360 PS to 1360 kg) giving the car 1 hp per 1 kg weight. The 1,341 bhp power output is the equivalent of one megawatt, which Koenigsegg claims makes the One:1 the 'world's first megacar'. The car is more focused as a track car than the previous cars made by Koenigsegg. Koenigsegg had to sacrifice a few things to be able to achieve their goal with the car. There is an airscoop on the removable roof, so it would not have been possible to stow the roof in the boot like previous models. As such, Koenigsegg have taken advantage of this and modeled the front to create more downforce, which reduces boot capacity by 40%.

On 18 July 2016, a One:1 crashed during practice sessions at the Nürburgring Track. The exterior panels and subframes of the car were severely damaged but Koenigsegg stated that the car would be rebuilt.

## History in the SSRD

As we all know by now, Rex takes his modifications *very* seriously, and the Koenigsegg One:1 is no different to him.

Under the hood, Rex put in a 5.8L V8. He then looked at the stock Koenigsegg turbo system and said, "Yeah, I can see some room for improvement, not that Koenigsegg did anything *wrong,* I mean," as he added on a supercharger and *another* pair of turbochargers. He then got to work on the drivetrain, putting in a new 9-speed, double-clutch, paddle-shifted, manual transmission, which connected to an electronically tuned/operated differential via a titanium driveshaft. He forged the transmission gears from a solid bock of titanium (a meticulous process taking him about three sleepless days and nights,) and made Tanake fabricate a carbon fiber differential housing.

Normally, a sleeper car is supposed to blend in with the crowd, like a Dodge Challenger, but Rex chose to modify a car with performance that was already on the bleeding edge of technology. After Aaron completed the suspension and brakes (380mm ported brake rotors coated with silicon carbide, carbon-ceramic brake pads courtesy of StopTech, and some F1 suspension donated kindly by Ferrari,) Rex got to work making the titanium exhaust system, which he got somewhat bored with mid-way through and turned it into straight pipes.

## History in EVRF

The EVRF used the same Koenigsegg One:1 as the SSRD at one point. It was meant to be one of their fastest cars, but when they got a Hennessey Venom GT, they found it had a more compatible aftermarket.

Then the SSRD stepped in and "took it off their hands."
