Geneva Auto Salon 2012 - press release
Koenigsegg Reinvents the Wheel
Koenigsegg reinvents the wheel and presents 7
other exiting features for the 2013 Agera range.
1. The 2013 Agera R features the world’s first hollow, one
piece, super light carbon fiber wheel, using a proprietary
method developed by Koenigsegg named Aircore™ Technology.
The Aircore™ wheels save close to 20kg in unsprung mass,
while providing great integrity and safety. The only metal part
in the wheel is the tire valve – the rest is all once piece
hollow carbon.
2. The Agera and the Agera R have the first production
engines in the world to use nano-surfaced cylinder sleeves,
from ANS, for reduced friction and fuel consumption.
3. New in-house developed engine management system,
which provides added functionality whilst still meeting all
OBD II regulations.
4. The rev limiter has been raised from 7250rpm to
7500rpm, raising power from 940 to 960hp on 98 Ron
(93 din) fuel for the Agera and from 1115 to 1140hp for
the Agera R on E85.
5. Koenigsegg reinstates its co-operation with Swedish
shock manufacturer Öhlins Racing. Together they productionalized Koenigsegg´s unique Triplex suspension, that
becomes standard on the 2013 Agera R.
6. KES (Koenigsegg Electronic Stability) is now standard
on all Koenigsegg models.
7. A new, lighter rear exhaust section has been developed
for the Agera R, which also improves the performance of
the rear diffuser.
8. New front/side winglets for the Agera R provide 20kg
more downforce at 250km/h, as well as reduced drag.
Innovative Car Configurator
The new configurator lets one choose any shade or color
combination for the interior and exterior. As all Koenigsegg
cars are made to order, allowing a high level of variation was
the only feasible way of making the configurator true to life.
When a customer’s vehicle configuration is complete, they can
then print a PDF brochure of their specific car, with color codes
for both the exterior and interior. The configurator is available
at www.koenigsegg.com.
