The only car of its version, specially modified based on the F12. It using the same 6.3L V12 engine as the F12.

Ferrari Laferrari

Probably the most excited car ever built by Ferrari. This limited production hybrid hypercar has a 6.3L V12 and an electric engine, combine the both engines and you can find 950 horsepower from this car. Highly rated by the automobile specialist.

Koenigsegg One:1

The most anticipated car of the year. Koenigsegg named it as One:1 because its 5.0L Twin Turbo V8 produces 1 horsepower with 1 kg of the car weight. That's 1340 hp in total. Top speed should be around 440 km/h and 0-400 in 20 seconds. Insane car indeed.

One of the three Hybrid Hypercars introduced in last year ( and another two are the Laferrari and the P1). A combined output of 875 horsepower from a V8 engine and electric motor. 0-100km/h in 2.6 seconds. An extremely powerful car with 6"57 Nurburging lap time and 90 mpg of fuel consumption, which is almost double than the Toyota Prius. The future is here.

Mclaren P1

There is a reason why Top Gear named it the Hypercar of the year of 2013. This car has a 3.8L V8 producing 906 horsepower. Look absolutely beautiful for outside. Brutal acceleration, perfect handling and excellent overall performances made this car lapped the Nurburgring under 7 minutes .The brightest star of 2013 supercars world. If you still have no idea how good this car is, search for its clips on Youtube.

Mclaren 650s Spyder

You might think the idea of combining the exterior design of the P1 and 12C is stupid. But this upgraded version of Mclaren MP4-12C is no joke at all. Mclaren claimed that they made a total of 25% of improvement to make this car better than the 12C. It has a standard Mclaren M838T 3.8L Twinturbo V8, capable of producing 650 horsepower. Top speed is set to 330 km/h. New suspension, new gear box, new outlook, an upgraded version of 12C.

A stunning hypercar powered by a Mercedes-AMG 6.0L Twinturbo V12 engine producing 720bhp. Pagani's huge commitment in making the best car ever made this car great in overall performance. Currently the fastest car ever been on the Top Gear race track, lapping a time of 1"13" in January 2011.

Jaguar F-Type Project 7

The F-type has certainly helped Jaguar to make a comeback in the supercars world while the company was struggling in making progress. Now the new F-type project 7 has been revealed by Jaguar. The fastest car ever built by the company thanks to its 567bhp 5.0L Supercharged V8

Koenigsegg One:1, the worlds' first Megacar

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Koenigsegg One:1, the world's first Megacar.

Koenigsegg One:1 at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show

While the competitors has announced their own hypercars, Christian Von Koenigsegg thinks it is time to hit back with a car which is unlike any supercars or hypercars in the world. Creating a hypercar which is capable of reaching 440 km/h, Astonishing 1:1 bhp to weigh ratio, a car which produces 1 Megawatt of power, etc...and the list goes on.


It is called the world's first megacar for a reason.

1340 bhp to 1340 kgs. It means the latest masterpiece of Koenigsegg Automobile, the Koenigsegg One:1's 5.0L twin turbo V8 produces 1 horse power with 1 kilogram of the car weigh, and 1340 bhp is the total horsepower that can be produced, which is equal to 1 Megawatt.  This is never been done by any Supercar Manufacturer.

Over the past 12 months, video clips and images of hypercars performance are spreading
around the internet. Hybrid hypercars like Mclaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder, has shocked the world with their latest hybrid engine technologies, both cars lapped the Nürburgring well under 7 minutes.. Although the guys from Maranello claimed that the Laferrari isn't ready to reveal the actual lap time of the Laferrari at the Ring, but a few video clips on Youtube already revealed how fast the car can be(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2eraoIUCms). With speculations are going on around the internet, we believe that lapping the Ring with a sub-seven-minutes lap time is impossible with the Laferrari's performances figures. Under these circumstance, Christian Von Koenigsegg might have to try to reclaim its title of the best hypercars maker. A hypercars with these performance figures will surely get the job done.


Performance Figure of Koenigsegg One:1:

Power output: 1 MW at 7500 rpm -
rpm limiter @ 8250
rpmTorque: over 1000 Nm from 3000 to 8000
rpmMax torque: 1371 Nm at 6000 rpm
0 - 400 km/h approx. 20 sec
400 - 0 km/h approx. 10 sec
Braking distance: 28 m (100-0 km/h)
Max lateral g-force: 2.0 g

Emission levels: Euro VI
Well, I guess each and everyone of you were still round-eyed after viewing these figures. 0 - 400km/h in 20 seconds. Mclaren  P1 would reach 300km/h in 16.5 seconds, and it isn't slow at all. In fact, the record of 0 - 300 km/h record holder, Hennessy Venom GT did it in 13.63 seconds. Memories are still fresh while the Hennessy Venom GT ripped the Koenigsegg Agera R's record of 0 - 300km/h. But this number will soon being challenged by the One:1. A statement has been made by Christian Von Koenigsegg, he wants the record back.

...and still, Mr. Koenigsegg claimed that they weren't really focused the speed of the car, handling is what they really care about, with a whole new set of fully upgraded Koenigsegg Agera R's suspension.


Only 6 units will be produced.

The Koenigsegg One:1 has already been revealed at the Geneva Motor Show back in March. By that time, all 6 units had been sold out with a price tag of 1.5 million Euros.


The game is on!

The Announcement of Koenigsegg One:1 is really a great news for the supercars fans. We've seen how badly the Koenigsegg Agera R has beaten the Bugatti Veyron (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj3Oo-_jecg). We expect the actual driving video clips of the One:1 to be released within a few months time. Now it is time for Koenigsegg Automobile to show what they capable of under the constant challenges from other supercars manufacturers.
