Agera is the Swedish verb "to act" and has been chosen as the name for
Koenigsegg's latest super creation, as it symbolizes what they do and how they
expect their cars to perform - to act accordingly. Koenigsegg is always striving
forward, seeking challenges beyond limitations. The new supercar Koenigsegg
Agera is an outcome of that creative process and its functions respond very well
to the given name.
When developing the Koenigsegg Agera, the focus was to
maximize driving experience, cornering speed, braking and adaptability.
The Koenigsegg
Agera features the latest in braking technology, incorporating an adjustable ABS
system, 392x36 mm and 380x34 mm ventilated and drilled ceramic discs, for
unparalleled braking performance and zero fade regardless of track or road.
The twin turbo bespoke Koenigsegg V8 produce 738 lb-ft of torque available
from 2680 to 6100 rpm and has a peak torque of 810 lb-ft at 5100 rpm, giving the
engine great flexibility.
Downforce is increased thanks to larger front
vents and a larger rear diffuser. The Koenigsegg Agera can also be ordered with
an active rear wing.
The new traction control is the fastest reacting in
the industry, with auto adapt functionality for different road conditions and
driving styles as well as several manual settings.
Koenigsegg has also developed a new type of
interior illumination, which is a worlds first in the car industry - Ghost
light. The illumination shines through the billet aluminum buttons and
surfaces by way of invisible nanotubes, creating excellent visibility of the
symbols, as well as a very clean and stylish appearance, framed by an all-new
carbon fiber center console and tunnel assembly. Furthermore, the driver can
easily select the information he wants displayed in front of him, on the all new
multi-info cluster combined with the upgraded infotainment display, ranging from
basic functionality, to G force meter, power meters, Sat-nav, music, lap-timer
or compasses - to best suit the current driving conditions, be it highway
cruising, touring country roads, city navigation or serious track driving.
