Geneva - Can Koenigsegg Agera R seize the crown of the world's fastest production car with all these changes? We look forward to any evidence.
Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg hypercar perform various repairs on a superfast car flagship, Agera R. Koenigsegg are now ready to test the upper limit of the speed of his car.
Powered car is expected to break the 1140 bhp 440 km / h. And when that happens, then this car also won the title of fastest production car in the world from the hands of Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
Current crown holder of the fastest production car on earth still held by the Bugatti Veyron when the car is running up to 431 km / h. However, Bugatti Koenigsegg would not hold the record was too long.
They also do repairs on the Koenigsegg Agera R model in 2013 that they had just shown at the Geneva Motor Show.
Personnel who previously were at 1115 bhp was now on the up-grade to 1140 bhp with E85 ethanol fuel. The upper limit engine speed was increased from 7250 rpm to 7500 rpm figure.
The new concoction Koenigsegg is expected to be able to carry off Agera R up to speed 440 km / h and seize the crown of world's fastest production car ever held, but now in the hands of Bugatti.
Besides the engine, one of Koenigsegg main focus this time is in the sector in which the legs of the car rim is now using a lightweight carbon fiber materials and developed with Aircore technology.
Koenigsegg claims that with this new rim, the total weight of the car can be trimmed to 20 kg. That is, the load of each wheel in this car will be lighter 5 kg. Moreover, a new exhaust that is claimed to be mounted on the car is also lighter and able to improve performance.
Besides those two things, many more improvements made to the car anyarnya the Koenigsegg.
Even some of the technology applied in the car is relatively new in the automotive world one of them is the application of nanoscale materials in the cylinder which is claimed will reduce friction which in turn will reduce fuel consumption and provide energy more perfect treat.
This sector is considered important by the Koenigsegg because according to research there are about 6-9 percent of the energy lost when there is friction in the piston and cylinder. The use of nano materials is said to reduce friction is 30-50 percent, which in turn improve the performance of the engine between 1.8 to 4.5 percent.
KES (Koenigsegg Electronic Stability) is now also standard on all models Koenigsegg.
