Various experts have stated that it would be easier for a manufacturer to order 3D printed parts from a third-party supplier, which significantly reduced production costs. But, according to the brand, its own 3D printing allows you to control the entire process of manufacturing car parts.

Carbon fiber

Externally, the new One looks like the Agera in use, but the new hypercar uses a new carbon fiber weave to reduce weight by 40 percent without sacrificing rigidity. The exact same weave of carbon fiber is used on new modern Formula 1 cars, which weigh very little.

Aerodynamics

In this area, Koenigsegg enters the unknown. For the first time a small car company uses active aerodynamics. Traditionally, only large global car manufacturers with multibillion-dollar budgets work in this area. Until now, small companies have not been developing in the field of aerodynamics. But the Swedish automaker decided to change its approach.

In the new sporty, aerodynamic elements are used throughout the body to reduce air resistance. For example, in the rear of the car there are aerodynamic holes, with special valves regulating air flows depending on the speed of the car.

Air entering through the hood passes through special channels of the carbon body and exits at the rear. The air flow rate is regulated by special blades. For example, when the car is moving at high speed, the valves are closed, which reduces the downforce, so that dynamics and speed are not lost.

Look out for splitters and spoilers on the front bumper that help increase downforce when needed. Also, these elements in the front end help direct air flows, distributing them between the engine and the car body, which made it possible to increase optimal cooling of the power unit.

An active rear wing is installed in the rear of the car, which, unlike traditional use in sports cars, can both help accelerate the car and promote quick braking by increasing downforce on the rear wheels.

Vehicle weight

This is where Koenigsegg surprises the most. Almost the entire hypercar is made of carbon fiber. We mean all the details. The seats, rims, bodywork, bumpers, most of the fasteners and even the sun visors in the car are also made from carbon fiber.

According to the director of the company, the use of carbon fiber for the production of most of the components made it possible to reduce the weight of each part by 100 grams. The most amazing thing is that even the suspension springs are made of carbon fiber, which allowed each of them to reduce the weight of the car by 3 kg. As a result, the weight of the car is 1360 kilograms, taking into account half of the filled fuel tank, engine oil, transmission oils and other process fluids.

This is an amazing achievement in the automotive industry and is worthy of the Guinness Book of Records as the weight-to-power ratio of this sports car is the best in the world (ratio "1.0").

Technology

Swedish automaker equips sports car adaptive suspension, which, if necessary, can change ground clearance... So that this car, if necessary, can be easily passed by "policemen". There are manual and automatic modes to control the suspension. In automatic mode, as the speed increases, the ground clearance of the vehicle decreases, which makes it possible to reduce air resistance and increase the acceleration dynamics.

Also, what is surprising is not just a serial sports sports car. The goal and creation of this amazing car was to produce a car for the sports track, for professional racers or for people obsessed with speed. But that's not all. The ultimate goal of creating a hypercar was to produce a car for the track, but with the possibility of using it in everyday life in the city or outside the city.

And in our opinion, it certainly succeeded.

What you should pay attention to? Inside the vehicle is a standard set of various functions for the infotainment system. There is satellite GPS navigation under control Google maps... The system can work both directly and using mobile phone with navigation.

But built-in navigation performs not only standard functions in cars, but also makes much more sense.

So GPS navigation monitors the dynamics of acceleration, the speed of cornering, roll during maneuvers, etc., registering all the data about the trip, which you can then view using the built-in computer or on your smartphone or tablet.

The company's management announced that a total of 6 cars will be built and all of them will be available for purchase. Unlike the Agera, the new Koenigsegg One hypercar will cost 30 percent more, making it one of the most expensive cars in the world.

Outcome

Until a few years ago, most of the automotive industry was skeptical of the Koenigsegg brand, but with the appearance of the new "One" model, which made a huge impression on all visitors to the exhibition in Geneva, the opinion of the Swedish automaker has changed dramatically. After all, no one could have imagined that a small, modest Swedish company would be able to compete with such automotive giants as Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and other large global companies.

And what is most surprising, Koenigsegg is a full-fledged automaker, which presented not some concept car, but which has a record weight-to-power ratio and can become the fastest car in the world, and the best in many respects, overtaking its promoted competitors. ... This model has every chance of becoming competitive in the hypercar market, since what the Swedish company has done before automotive world nobody has done it yet.

In general, we must pay tribute to Koenigsegg, which is possible, as Tesla is ready to turn our understanding of modern automotive technology.

Hello everyone. This is my favorite brand and I would like to tell you a little about it. For the first time I saw this brand in the game " Test Drive Unlimited ", before that I knew absolutely nothing about it. I bought it in the game, looked at it, fucked it up, got into Google and that's it, it started! I realized that no Ferrari, no Lamborghini, no Porsche can be compared with this.
And then a little about the founder of the company:

Christian von Köenigsegg (Swedish.Christian von Köenigsegg) b. 1972, Stockholm) - founder of the Swedish company Koenigsegg Automotive AB, which specializes in the production of sports cars.

Biography:
Christian was born to Brita and Jesko von Königsegg. He studied at high school in Danderid, then at the national boarding school Lundberg. Then he studied economics at the Scandinavian School in Brussels.

Childhood:
At the age of five, inspired by the Norwegian animated film Flåklypa Grand Prix about a bicycle master who built racing car, little Christian began to dream of creating his own sports car... Christian developed an interest in technique and design at an early age. As a young boy, he loved to take apart tape recorders and toasters in his parents' house in order to understand how they could be changed. As a teenager, he became a famous craftsman in the area of ​​technology, and at the age of 18, Christian began to seriously work with technical innovations and he had two interesting ideas.

Innovation:
He called the first idea "Cheap Player". Koenigsegg believed that one day computer chips would be capable of carrying so much music that they could supplant CDs. The main advantage was that it would be cheaper, so he prepared the project for patent filing. However, the idea did not work. Nobody was interested in such unknown projects. But Christian didn't give up.
His second idea was called "Click". This was a new solution for joining wooden floor sections. He showed this technology to his father, who was working in the forestry industry at the time. My father dismissed the idea, saying that if it was that good, someone would have implemented it a long time ago. Christian then decided to show the invention to other floor manufacturers. There he was also refused. In 1995, Belgian and Swedish companies patented remarkably similar technologies for connecting sectors. And they called them the same as Christian - "Click!". The patent was worth a billion dollars.

Rise:
Of course, he wanted to build his dream car. He realized that this was virtually impossible and that many had failed before him. In 1994, at the age of 22, Christian thought about creating the first model of his car, where there would be no technical solutions, which were considered rather difficult. Christian drew the drawings himself and in the same days began to make scale model, with the help of his friends, who helped him for a small fee. Investors became interested in his project. As a result, Christian founded Koenigsegg Automotive AB in 1994 with a start-up capital of CZK 60 million.
The first car of the company - Koenigsegg CC, built according to the sketches of Sven-Harry Akesson (under the pseudonym Sethera Falcon)

First production car:
In 2002, Koenigsegg launched its first production car at the Margrethethrop plant (north of Angelholm). It was the Koenigsegg CC8S - a slightly modernized version of the Koenigsegg CC. This car immediately attracted attention both visually and technically. It was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest production car (the speed of the car reached 388 km / h).
In 2003, the plant in Margretetrop burned down, production was suspended and then transferred to the abandoned Air Force base in Valhalla Park, Angelholm.

Present time:
Christian is now co-founder and president of the Koenigsegg Group consortium, formed in 2009.

And now about the cars themselves.

A little from the book "Super (the most beautiful and famous) cars in the world":
About Koenigsegg:
While famous manufacturers Supercars can capitalize on their reputation, newcomers must offer something sensational if they want to gain attention. The Swedish company Koenigsegg cannot boast long history, but she makes one of the most powerful supercars, and next to this wild beast everyone looks tame ...
When you are trying to build a car that does more than 200 miles per hour, it is imperative that it does not take off like an airplane when it accelerates. And that's why the developers at Koenigsegg applied ground-effect aerodynamics technology.
The designers envision the CC to be a car that can overtake the McLaren F1, and clean and simple at the same time. Overtaking McLaren is not an easy task, but it was a challenge that helped the Swedish company rise. The project aimed at a top speed of 389.4 km / h, achieved thanks to a power output of 484.7 kW (655 hp), a drag coefficient of 0.28-0.32 and a net weight of just 1100 kg.
The project started in 1994. This brainchild of Christian von Königsegg can be considered an alternative to the fed up Volvo of the 1970s and 1980s ... Von Königsegg believed that there was a gap in the supercar market that needed to be filled immediately.
In late 1995 and most of 1996, Königsegg built and tested his first 370 kW (500 hp) prototype. But its chassis was made so that it was no problem to raise it. By the end of 1998, a semi-monocoque carbon fiber was adopted and a fully adjustable independent suspension lever type. By the summer of 2000, the first production-ready car had been completed, and in the fall it made its debut at the Paris Motor Show.
In many ways, the car turned out to be secondary: a mid-engined, forward-shifted cab, it had a fairly standard mechanical specification. The CFRP construction is also not original. The only thing that no one has seen before are the "bat" doors. But how many people would buy a car just because of the unusual doors?
Less meticulous critics had much to admire. The chairs used a material created by HAGA, which takes the shape of a seated person's body. Multiple transmission modes were rare back then, although they have since become commonplace. The control system allowed the driver to adjust the chassis, aerodynamics and braking parameters without getting up from the seat. Brake system was a true work of art - just like the 457mm magnesium wheels with low profile tires. The roof is also extremely well made: it can be removed and put into the trunk compartment, turning the body into a targa.

That's all, actually! This is my first serious job, do not judge strictly! If you find errors - write in the comments - I will fix it!) Thank you all, good luck on the road!

In 2010, at the Geneva Motor Show, the Swedish company, which quickly established itself in the hypercar market, introduced the new Koenigsegg Agera, designed to replace the previous CCX model.

The date of the presentation of the car was no coincidence. As in other cases, they were tied to a round date, this time to the 15th anniversary of the founding of the company.

Christian von Kenisegg, with the tenacity characteristic of the Scandinavians, tried to achieve the conquest of the next peak, and one cannot say that the attempt failed. Model came close to the mark of 400 km / h which made it one of the fastest cars at the time of release.

In 2011, an improved version of the Agera R appeared, and in 2013 it underwent a large-scale restyling, as a result of which the car is capable of accelerating to 440 km / h, which puts it on a par with the Bugatti Chiron.

Like all hypercars capable of reaching speeds in excess of 350 km / h, the Koenigsegg Agera has almost perfect aerodynamic shapes and a minimum drag coefficient.

The supercar is literally pressed to the ground - the total height is only 1120 mm, with a ground clearance of 100 mm - thus providing sufficient downforce, especially on high speeds.

The body of the car is completely made of carbon fiber to reduce the overall weight and is made as a targa, although the monocoque itself is made of a durable and lightweight aluminum alloy. Windshield fixed in a reinforced frame, which serves as an additional element of body rigidity.

In the rear part of the cockpit there are retractable safety bars. The roof is removable in the center - if necessary, it is retracted into a special compartment in the rear section of the body, turning the hypercar into a roadster.

The elongated headlights, which extend upwards, are harmoniously positioned on the prominent athletic fenders, creating a curved bonnet line. A splitter mounted under the front bumper diverts the incoming flow into two volumetric air intakes, from where it is redirected to air the front brakes.

A striking feature of the Koenigsegg Agera is the unique design of the door mechanism, called Beetle wing... In contrast to the "gull wing", when the opening is made straight up, here the door first separates from the body by 15 mm on a special hinge, and then turns up and forward at an angle of 90 degrees. In addition to being unique, this design is quite practical - you can park anywhere and get out of the car is not a problem.

Interior

The salon is the embodiment of Swedish laconicism and the latest technology. The main finishing material is ultra-light carbon - almost everything is made of it, from the interior panels to the armchair frame.

Seats and door cards are finished in high-quality Alcantara in various colors at the request of the client. The center console has a display onboard system, under which there are control keys located in a circle.

Small wheel a slightly oval shape in the best racing tradition, and underneath the gearshift paddles are placed. Dashboard unusual - it has only one massive dial, installed in the middle, and on the sides there are additional scales of various on-board systems.

Agera powertrain and transmission

The Swedish engineers should be given a must for what they were able to squeeze out of the engine. A relatively small engine for sports cars is installed under the hood. Koenigsegg Aluminum V8 self-developed based on the Ford Modular engine, with a volume of only 5.0 liters.

Engineers managed to squeeze out of it as much as 940 hp at 6900 rpm, thanks to a number of technical innovations and bi-turbocharging with a pressure of 1.3 bar. The engine has a dry sump lubrication system, which allowed it to be lowered as far as possible to reduce the center of gravity and improve weight distribution. The torque is about 1000 Nm, and it is already available in the range from 2700 to 6150 rpm.

Used as a transmission 7-speed sequential gearbox with two clutches and paddle shifters. It was developed by Koenigsegg in conjunction with CIMA. Its design provides instant response to gear changes.

Have a hypercar rear drive, and to improve handling and cornering, it is equipped with a system of intelligent control of traction distribution, which allows you to change the load between the drive wheels.

Speed ​​characteristics very high:

• maximum speed - 390 km / h;
• acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h - 3.1 s;
• from 0 to 200 - 8.9 s;
• from 0 to 300 - 14.53 s;
• full deceleration from 300 to 0 - 6.66 s.

In normal driving on the highway (up to 200 km / h), an 80-liter tank is enough for about 600-650 km. When reaching a speed of over 200 km / h, the indicator drops by almost 2 times.

For effective braking, the vehicle is equipped with high-performance ventilated ceramic disc brakes with servo-positioned calipers. On the front axle, discs with a diameter of 392 mm and a thickness of 36 mm with 6-cylinder calipers are installed, on the rear axle - 380 mm with a width of 34 mm and 4-cyl.

Specifications

Price

In terms of cost, the hypercar occupies one of the highest positions. V basic configuration, that is, without installing options in the form of an author's interior trim, winter package, etc., the price of Koenigsegg Agera is about $ 1,400,000 (79.1 million rubles).

Currently, the car is not produced, since it gave way to the more powerful Agera R.

Hypercar One: 1, which should be the fastest road car in the world, leaving behind the Bugatti Veyron.

Due to the widespread use of composite materials in the construction of the car, its weight was reduced to 1,360 kg. And the 5.0-liter V8 twin-turbo, capable of running on regular and racing gasoline, as well as E85 bioethanol, has been increased to 1,360 hp.

The engine's peak torque reaches 1,371 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Traction is transmitted to the rear axle via a 7-band robotic transmission with two clutches, developed by Koenigsegg specialists independently.

Thus, the ratio of mass to power in the hypercar is one kilogram to one horsepower, which is reflected in its name One: 1 ("one to one"). The company promises that the new product will surpass all competitors in acceleration from zero to 100, 200, 300 and 400 km / h from standstill.

At the same time, the mark of four hundred kilometers per hour Koenigsegg One: 1 should change in about 20 seconds, and the maximum speed of the hypercar will be about 450 km / h. For comparison, it spends on acceleration from standstill to four hundred kilometers per hour for 25 seconds. longer.

The maximum speed of the top version of the Veyron is officially 431 km / h, but customers receive cars with an electronic limiter at 415 km / h. In total, only six Koenigsegg One: 1 coupes were built (plus one prototype), each costing about $ 2,000,000. True, by the time of the presentation of the model, all of them had already been sold out on pre-orders.

An interesting fact. In the fall of 2016, it became known about the sale in the States of one copy of this model, for which an unnamed buyer paid $ 10 million, i.e. the car actually went for a price that was five times its original cost. Not a bad investment!

Among other features of the megacar (this is how the manufacturer positions the car, since its power is equal to a whole megawatt), it is important to note the appearance of active aerodynamic elements, among which there are splitters on the front bumper and a rear wing with hydraulic drive.

The latter has several positions and can be used as an air brake (the Koenigsegg One: 1 stops at a speed of 400 km / h in just 10.0 seconds), and when driving at high speeds, these elements generate a downforce of 600 kg. When cornering, the lateral g-forces of the machine can reach 2g.

The hypercar is equipped with powerful carbon-ceramic brakes with 397-mm front discs, suspension with active shock absorbers and all-carbon wheels, “shod” in Michelin Cup Tires of different sizes with a diameter of 19 inches at the front and 20 - at the rear. These tires are capable of withstanding speeds of up to 440 km / h.

Cars with the prefix "most" have ceased to amaze. Well, by God, what else can you surprise even a non-connoisseur of automotive technology in the 21st century - with speed, price, size, tuning? Hardly. But if you collect all the excellent qualities of a car, known to man, and implement them in one brand, then how? Doesn't this happen? How it happens. The unique Swedish company Koenigsegg proves once again that the impossible is possible. The main thing is to want very hard.

Christian Koenigsegg's aristocracy and speed

New Koenigsegg Regera

Swedish Koenigsegg cars do not compete with Ferrari, Bugatti, Lambo or Pagani. It's useless. They are simply better. Better just as much as everyone can imagine due to their technical literacy. Koenigsegg are always masterpieces of engineering and design, masterpieces of technology and masterpieces of PR and marketing. Any Koenigsegg car is also worth a masterpiece. The most inexpensive model you can buy at least 700-900 thousand Euros. In rubles it will be ... But what's the difference. All this was achieved practically through the efforts of one person - a descendant of the Swedish knights of the 12th century, Christian Koenigsegg. He led his team to build the first production supercar at the age of 22.

A happy childhood is where all the outstanding victories in human life come from. Christian did not receive cuffs from his relatives for the fact that already at the age of five he dissected VCRs and coffee machines, trying to figure out how they work there, how they work and how to make them better. Probably because after the experiments, any technique in his hands not only continued to work, but worked even better. The guy grew up and became known in certain circles as the god of tuning scooters and mopeds. In Stockholm he had no equal, and the first commercial invention, which, by the way, is used by each of us today, he presented already at the age of nineteen.

The car is not from our galaxy

It was a glueless way of fixing parquet and laminate, however, the guy failed to patent it. His stepfather (he was one of the key executives of the laminate flooring company) was not very enthusiastic about the idea of ​​attaching the lamellas in a simple but original way, so it is not surprising that the invention was quickly attached to the legs and now the Click fastening method is associated with other names. And Christian had no time to waste time on all sorts of nonsense - he had already set himself a different goal. Build the fastest and most best car in the world. So in 1994 a company appeared, the logo of which became the family coat of arms of the von Königseggs. The company built cars from scratch, which, perhaps, are not better yet.

Koenigsegg are cars completely unlike any other sports car in the world, they do not copy anything and do not use other people's components and assemblies.

Each bolt and each terminal is made in Sweden by the hands of a team of several dozen engineers, but each machine is not a single copy, but a serial, full-fledged road car for real life. And what this real life will be like, the new Koenigsegg Regera of the 2016-2017 model year will show.

Koenigsegg Reger's Best Money Can Buy

At the last auto show in Geneva, von Koenigsegg unveiled the latest live development, a fully series-ready Koenigsegg Regera. She has already collected her portion of reviews and pre-orders, as a concept, at last year's auto show, but the new Rigera 2016-2017 received more than one and a half thousand changes in a year and is now fully ready for the start of sales. The supercar does not have a traditional gearbox, it has the most powerful hybrid engine in the world and the most reliable and progressive technological design.

If any of car manufacturers and can be blamed in connection with alien intelligence, this is primarily Christian von Koenigsegg. Rieger will be the flagship of the brand, it will be better than any of the company's cars available today, and its price is 1.9 million euros. Whether the car will appear in Russia and how much Koenigsegg Regera costs in rubles, it will soon be possible to find out from the most impatient oligarch. The first 80 cars have already been painted by name, and against the Bugatti Ziron, which costs 2.5 million and is produced in 500 units, the series is not so impressive, but for a tiny Swedish company it is a real breakthrough. Both technological and marketing.

Specifications. How the Koenigsegg Regera works

You need to recharge to be fast and beautiful

The world's first hybrid vehicle designed and installed, tested and perfected power point with a total capacity of one thousand five hundred Horse power... The installation is made of a five-liter gasoline engine with a double turbine. The 1,115-horsepower V8 works in conjunction with three Yasa electric cars, two of which drive the rear wheels, and the third works in place of the starter and generator. For the first time in the world in a production car, batteries are used, arranged in an 800-volt unit with water cooling. Previously, a similar solution was used only singularly and only for Formula 1 cars. The battery pack has a power of 4.5 kW / h, when the car accelerates, it delivers 526 kW of power to the electric motors, taking about 200 kW in recuperation mode. It is significant that the battery pack was developed in cooperation with no one famous company from Croatia Rimak, they build premium electric vehicles.

God forbid mentioning the word "hybrid" under von Koenigsegg. This type of drive, according to the company's engineers, has tarnished its reputation quite hard and the use of this term in relation to the Koenigsegg Regera is unacceptable. A radically new algorithm for the symbiosis of internal combustion engines and electricity has been developed here, which is completely devoid of all the disadvantages of the hybrid unit that has already become almost a classic. The success of the car as a technical product is evidenced by the numbers and this is what the real test drive of the Regers of 2016-2017 shows. Note Serial Regers:

• the total weight of the machine does not exceed 1600 kg;
• the total power of the power plant was brought to the beginning of the series to 1,500 horses;
• traction of a sports car - fantastic 2000 Nm;
• dynamic data have no analogues at all on planet Earth: up to a hundred, the car will accelerate in 2.8 s, from place to maximum speed 400 km / h the pilot can reach in supernatural 20 seconds.

This sports car is special not only for its technical characteristics, but also for the fact that it does not have a gearbox as such. Its role is played by a system that von Koenigsegg managed to patent this time. It is called Kоenigsegg Direct Drive.

1. The combustion engine is not used at low speed and there is no need to change at high speed. gear ratios transmissions. The total power and elasticity of the power plant is enough so as not to switch anything and do without breaking the torque flow.
2. From here comes the highest efficiency. In a classic hybrid, a mass of energy simply goes into the air, on the effort for the transmission, on heat losses during its operation, and using the Koenigsegg Direct Drive system, the useful torque transmitted to the drive wheels has doubled.
3. The principle of operation of the KDD system excludes the double conversion of energy - a gasoline engine into electricity, and then again the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the wheels. Von Koenigsegg avoided intermediaries and avoided energy inefficiencies.

There is no limit to perfection. Koenigsegg Regera - the ideal is in the details

The KDD system, and the very idea of ​​such a power plant, is not just amazing, it is discouraging. How did I not think of this myself? That's it, the laminate is also simply fixed, "click", and you're done. But the Koenigsegg Regera's drive system is far from all that will have to open your mouth in surprise. The car sports an active electro-hydraulic rear spoiler and the same flaps implanted in front bumper... Exhaust gas removal system (somehow I can't even call it exhaust pipe) is made of high quality stainless steel.

The car is equipped with adaptive shock absorbers, which themselves know when and how to change the ground clearance and stiffness, and carbon-ceramic brakes with 397 mm discs in front and 380 mm in the rear are compressed by six-piston calipers. Wheel disks - different sizes... The front is 19 inches and the rear is 20 inches and is made of carbon fiber. In fact, it may seem that only a pilot who has completed a six-month training course can drive this car, but in fact, the Swedes are convincing that any kettle can drive the Koenigsegg Regera. A good couple of dozen are integrated into the car. support systems and security systems, and in addition, there is a smart electronic stabilization system. It has three modes of operation, and besides all this, for greater comfort, the power plant is suspended on adaptive supports that dampen even a hint of vibration, vibrations and, accordingly, noise. The Koenigsegg Regera is arguably the most comfortable and quiet supercar on the planet.

Born to rule, photo by Koenigsegg Regera

“Reger” is translated from Swedish in different ways, but we still tend to the interpretation of “born to dominate”. And there is every reason for this. This is the finest hypercar of our time, offering not only fantastic power and dynamics, but fantastic comfort as well. In the interior of the car, polished aluminum, expensive leather and carbon look organically, nanofoam with a memory effect will adapt to the figure of the pilot, a nine-inch touchscreen display will show any information about the operation of the car's systems and allow you to use the global network. The ability to diagnose and configure machine systems remotely, as well as update the software, has also been implemented.

Video: Koenigsegg Regera review

The superhybrid has no equal yet and it will remain in the near future the only car albeit remotely, but still competing with Bugatti. By the way, at the beginning of autumn 2016, almost all 80 Koenigsegg cars Regera has already found its owners, but if you hurry up, you can still catch the departing train. Christian von Koenigsegg will not wait, he already has plans to build a new hypercar ...
