Press Release) 2013 Agera R
The 2013 Agera R has all the features and functionalities of
previous year models, but also features new and unique solutions to
enhance performance and visual appearance even further.
Example of these enhancements are; Visible carbon area on the front
bonnet and bumper, new front side winglets, revolutionary Aircore
carbon fiber wheels, the new Aero exhaust, the increased power and
the raised rpm limit.
Koenigsegg was the first Hypercar manufacturer to take steps toward
green technology with the release of the biofuel CCXR in 2007. The
Agera R, based on the highly competitive Agera, follows in the
footsteps of the CCXR as it also runs on E85 biofuel.
Among many differences to the standard Agera, the Agera R has an
upgraded fuel and engine management system with enough flow capacity
to generate 1140 hp and 1200 nm of torque on E85 and E100 biofuel.
As there is less energy content per given volume in these biofuels
compared to normal petrol, the fuel-system has to manage a flow that
is similar to a 2000hp petrol engine, which means that the Agera R’s
return-less fuel system has the highest capacity of any car
presently in production.
As the Agera R is a flexfuel car, it can also be run on normal
petrol. As 95 octane fuel has less octane than E85, the power is
reduced to 960hp with 1100nm of torque due to the boost pressure and
ignition timing being altered to match the fuel characteristics.
In order to give the Agera R maximum flexibility when it comes to
power delivery, Koenigsegg has implement the latest technology when
it comes to turbo materials and design. This reduces the inertia of
the turbine wheel and axle and therefore gives improved response.
Koenigsegg reinvents the wheel and
presents 7 other exciting features
for the 2013 Agera range.
1. The 2013 Agera R
features the world’s first hollow, one piece, super light carbon
fiber wheel, using a proprietary method developed by Koenigsegg
named Aircore™ Technology. The Aircore™ wheels save close to 20kg in
unsprung mass, while providing great integrity and safety. The only
metal part in the wheel is the tire valve – the rest is all once
piece hollow carbon.
2. The Agera and the
Agera R have the first production engines in the world to use nano-surfaced
cylinder sleeves, from ANS, for reduced friction and fuel
consumption.
3. New in-house
developed engine management system, which provides added
functionality whilst still meeting all OBD II regulations.
4. The rev limiter has
been raised from 7250rpm to 7500rpm, raising power from 940 to 960hp
on 98 Ron (93 din) fuel for the Agera and from 1115 to 1140hp for
the Agera R on E85.
5. Koenigsegg reinstates
its co-operation with Swedish shock manufacturer Öhlins Racing.
Together they productionalized Koenigsegg´s unique Triplex
suspension, that becomes standard on the 2013 Agera R.
6. KES (Koenigsegg
Electronic Stability) is now standard on all Koenigsegg models.
7. A new, lighter rear
exhaust section has been developed for the Agera R, which also
improves the performance of the rear diffuser.
8. New front/side
winglets for the Agera R provide 20kg more downforce at 250km/h, as
well as reduced drag.
Innovative Car Configurator
The new configurator
lets one choose any shade or color combination for the interior and
exterior. As all Koenigsegg cars are made to order, allowing a high
level of variation was the only feasible way of making the
configurator true to life.
When a customer’s
vehicle configuration is complete, they can then print a PDF
brochure of their specific car, with color codes for both the
exterior and interior. The configurator is available at
www.koenigsegg.com.
