Swedish hypercar manufacturer Koenigsegg has launched the Agera in India. The new hyper car is priced at Rs 12.5 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi). Its main competitor is the Bugatti Veyron hypercar which his priced at around Rs 16 crore. Koenigsegg showcased the production version of the Agera at the 2011 Geneva motor show.
The Agera is designed with the minimalistic “less is more” philosophy in mind. This philosophy means that the shape of the
car has to be purely functional with no added features except those purely needed to meet regulation, added safety, ergonomics, practicality and aerodynamics.
Koenigsegg develops and produces its own engine in-house. The Koenigsegg 5 litre V8 bi-turbo engine develops more than 900 hp on 95 octane regular fuel, and more than 1100 hp on E85 bio fuel with over 1000 Nm of torque.
The newly developed 7 speed gearbox for the Agera features a world’s first dual clutch system for a single input shaft gearbox.
In order to keep the gearbox light, compact strong and reliable, Koenigsegg together with Cima chose to develop a new gearbox type that enables the use of a combination of a dry and wet clutch system, in order to get class leading shift times.
The interiors of the Agera is made up of only aluminium, carbon fibre, precious metals, alcantara and aniline leather. All switch gear is highly bespoke and features wonderfully unique solutions.
Only 16-20 cars will be built every year so book one soon to get this machine.
