First Live Images of the Koenigsegg One:1 Leaked!

Maybe there should be one important rule when having a private viewing of a special car, especially when it has yet to be unveiled to the public: surrender ALL the electronics. We have seen too many examples of highly-anticipated cars exposed through the net before its debut, and now we have another one that joins the list. Scheduled to make its debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, the Koenigsegg One:1’s first real images is now out in the open.

Like how it was described all these while, the One:1 does look more aggressive and menacing than the others in Koenigsegg’s line up. You could see how the cabin is stretched to the back with two Le Mans-styled large fins connecting it to the large spoiler. Bearing orange accents on the body and the brakes, only six of such will be produced, and early reports are saying that all of them are destined to China.

In case you missed our previous report, the name One:1 refers to the power to weight ratio of the car. But instead of weighing 1,400kg and having 1,400-horsepower, a report from a Chinese media states that the car will instead have 1,340-horsepower and weighs 1,340kg, 60 less than when it was originally announced.

But that does not mean that the performance numbers will further disappoint. While the top speed is still set at 450 km/h, 0-400 acceleration has been improved from 25 seconds to only 20! Now will Koenigsegg be able to prove that the One:1 is actually capable of doing such figures? They better be as this is a great competitor for the Veyron and the Venom GT!
