Details and photos with the 2011 Koenigsegg Agera have been released over the weekend by the Swedish supercar manufacturer.
World premiere for the 2011 Koenigsegg Agera will take place at this week’s Geneva Motor Show and at this point we know this Bugatti Veyron fighter will feature a an optimized Twin Turbo V8 that will produce 910 horsepower and an impressive 1100 Nm of torque @ 5,100 rpm.
The press release also mentions that the 2011 Koenigsegg Agera will benefit from 1000 Nm of torque from 2680 to 6100 rpm so all we can say is too bad the company didn’t reveal any performance figures yet.
Among high-performance components the 2011 Koenigsegg Agera will feature an adjustable ABS system, the latest braking technology and the world’s fastest reacting traction control system.
The 2011 Koenigsegg Agera is still scheduled to undergo various tests and production is expected to start sometime in September.
The 2011 Koenigsegg Agera price was not announced yet.
Koenigsegg press release :
Koenigsegg is celebrating 15 year of outstanding performance by unleashing their latest creation  – The Agera.
Koenigsegg
celebrate 15 years of making dream cars, by unleashing their latest
jewel – the Koenigsegg Agera. A new supercar aimed to take the
Koenigsegg experience to the next level, both on the road and the track.
Agera, the Swedish verb “to act”, has been chosen as the name for
Koenigsegg´s latest super creation, as it symbolizes the Koenigsegg
philosophy well. Koenigsegg is always striving forward, seeking
challenges beyond limitations. The new supercar Agera is an outcome of
that creative process and its functions respond very well to the given
name.
When we believe in something, we do it. We act.  the car also has to
act, when commanded to unleash its performance, forcefully and
fawlessly.  The development of the Agera has been evolutionary,
following the Koenigsegg tradition of continuous improvements, by
honing and perfecting the end result, all based on previous experience
and innovative
mindsets. The focus when developing the Agera was to maximize, driving
experience, cornering speed, braking and adaptability, says Christian
von Koenigsegg.
The Koenigsegg Agera is a
testament to time. The original shape and concept of the Koenigsegg CC,
created 15 years ago, is still valid, fresh and highly competitive
today. The Agera still stay true to the original philosophy, shape and
size of the original CC.  At the same time, it looks, feels and
performs like something belonging to the future, with all new content.
 
A Supercar is not better than the tires it use, as it is the only link
between the road and the car. Therefore Koenigsegg has a deep and long
term collaboration with Michelin, when it comes to tire development.
The Agera program will take this collaboration to the next level and is
expected to set new standards when it comes to overall performance -wet
as well as dry handling.
The Agera is as wide at the front as in the rear of the car. This gives very good balance in corners and minimizes body roll.
 
The Agera also features the latest in braking technology, incorporating
an adjustable ABS system, 392×36 and 380×34 ventilated and drilled
ceramic discs, for unparalleled braking performance and zero fade
regardless of track or road condition.Thanks to optimized breathing and
Twin Turbo, power is now 910 hp, running on regular petrol. Torque is
maximum 1100 nm and is reached at 5100 rpm. There is over 1000 nm of
torque available from 2680 to 6100 rpm.
 
The new traction control is the fastest reacting in the industry, with
auto adapt functionality for different road conditions and driving
styles as well as several manual settings.  
 
Koenigsegg has also developed a new type of interior illumination,
which is a worlds frst in the car industry – Ghost light. The
illumination shines through the billet aluminium buttons and surfaces
by way of invisible nanotubes, creating excellent
visibility of the symbols, as well as a very clean and stylish
appearance, framed by an all-new carbon fbre centre console and tunnel
assembly.
Furthermore, the driver can easily select the information he wants displayed in front of him, on the all new multi-info cluster
combined with the upgraded infotainment display, ranging from basic
functionality, to G force meter, power meters, Sat-nav, music,
lap-timer or compasses – to best suit the current driving conditions,
be it highway cruising, touring country roads, city
navigation or serious track driving. Furthermore the interior features the new Agera stitching and seams, which gives an beautiful fuidity to the interior.
 
All in all the Agera is created to maintain Koenigsegg’s position as one of the most engaging and top performing cars on the
road, on the track -on the planet. Still, maintaining the largest
luggage space in the industry and the novel Koenigsegg doors and
detachable/stow able hardtop, that really makes all Koenigsegg cars
stand out.
The Agera will be produced in parallel to the Award winning CCX and
CCXR models. This gives Koenigsegg the ability to live up to our
customers varying wishes and demands. The Agera is on display at the
80th Salon International de l’Auto in Geneva. The pre-production show
car will be put through its phases for the coming six month prior to
the production car launch of the Agera. Finally, Agera is also short
for the Greek word Ageratos, which in ancient Greek means “ageless”.
