R Agera Koenigsegg, the Swedish Bullet

As if that did not appear sufficient to 850 bhp Koenigsegg Agera conventional Swedish home has decided to tweak the engine and electronics to create a real monster of 1,115 hp. This new version of Agera, called R, has a price that is more than € 150,000 original price. In an era where the driver is the fuel economy and the arrival of more or less environmentally friendly vehicles, provided it is appreciated that some "crazy" of motorsports to bring something different.

And is that the Swedish Koenigsegg can not be called otherwise than in Geneva and have a Agera to have added the R package, whereby the 850 hp 5-liter V8 original become 1,115 hp. As for torque, it becomes of 93.88 mkg to 122.45 mkg. However, these power and torque figures only achieved when using E85 bio-fuels, and that if we feed the beast with 95 octane gasoline, the power will be reduced to 940 hp.

We do not know anything about public benefits of this Koenigsegg Agera R, but is known to incorporate a high-performance Michelin tires approved to reach 419 km / h. Given the sheer power data, it seems a much higher figure than the legendary Bugatti Veyron presents, but if we consider that the Koenigsegg Agera R weighs only 1,330 kg, more than half a ton less than the Veyron, we can make a idea of what we have in hand.

Besides power, other scary figure this Koenigsegg Agera R is the price. At just over a million euros that it costs the conventional Agera, we must add 154,000 euros to have this package "R". Looks like a car not recommended for the new limit of 110 km / h on motorways imposed by the government, but in any case, who can afford it will enjoy how and where to be.
