Koenigsegg has confirmed the limited edition One:1 will be exhibited in March at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Only six cars will be built but all of them have already been sold
and it's no surprise taking into account the One:1 has what it takes to
become the fastest production car in the world. As a reminder, the
"One:1" nameplate refers to the vehicle's power to weight ratio as it
will have 1,400 bhp (1,044 kW) in a body weighing 1,400 kg (3,086 lbs)
which will include all fluids and the weight of an average-sized driver. Koenigsegg's engineers say the One:1 can theoretically hit a top
speed of more than 280 mph (450 km/h) but most likely it will be limited
by the tires. The Swedish supercar maker is confident the One:1 will
establish new records for the 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h), 0-186 mph (0-300
km/h) and 0-248 mph (0-400 km/h) sprints. As a matter of fact, they
estimate hitting 400 km/h from a standstill will be done in
approximately 20 seconds. As a side note, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport World Record Edition
is currently the fastest car in the world, being able to reach an
electronically-limited top speed of 258 mph (415 km/h). Bugatti tested
an unrestricted Veyron WRE and managed to climb to 268 mph (431 km/h)
but the production version was sold with the limiter installed. (worldcarfans)
