History of Koenigsegg Agera R Limited Edition

The most recent and best supercar (hypercar?) to return from Swedish automaker Koenigsegg: the Agera R. The R expands upon the already spectacular Koenigsegg Agera, taking things to an excessive degree that can only be enjoyed with ample quantities of pavement and an absence of rushing limitations.
In case you did not know, the Agera R is a spread-topping marvel of engineering achievement: a supercar boasting as a lot as 1,099 horsepower relying 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, the two figures that are most likely to grab the attention of automotive enthusiasts in the days of 1,200 horsepower Bugattis would be the Agera R's scant weight of 2,932 lbs and its lateral g-force capability of 1.6g! 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 can scoot from a stop to 60 in just 2.9 seconds, hit 124 mph in 7.5 seconds and achieve top speed of 245 mph - which falls short of the Super Sport's top speed by about 22 mph. All of this performance comes from an aluminum 5.0-liter V8 which features four valves per cylinder, twin turbochargers and a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox.
