Koenigsegg Agera is perhaps the only serious competitor for the Bugatti-Veyron sports car, which has excellent dynamic performance. For the first time, Koenigsegg-Ager was presented to the public in 2011, after which in 2013 the company decided to make a small update. But judging by the auto-reviews, the changes were not cardinal at all. And today we will look at what Koenigsegg Agera features, design, and cost.

Appearance

The design of this car is able to surprise many - unusual cuts in the body, rounded windshield, aerodynamic roof and sports optics. By the way, the side windows are many times smaller in size than the windshield. But visibility does not decrease at all.

The Koenigsegg Agera is a very unusual sports car in its exterior. By the way, when restyling, the engineers sought to adjust the aerodynamicresistance is close to ideal. Now this figure is 0.33 Cr. Also of note are the new, lightweight front side fenders that can not only reduce wind resistance, but also provide an additional 20 kilograms of downforce at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour.

Super car interior

Inside, this car is unmistakable from any other sports car. Among the main finishing materials here, it is necessary to note details such as carbon fiber and aluminum. In some places of the cabin there are even precious stones. Even the famous Lamborghini Diablo does not have such a combination of finishing materials. That is why the interior of the Koenigsegg Agera-2013 is considered the most unique, prestigious, and most importantly - unlike the interiors of other cars.

Also, more attention was paid to interior lighting. In the Koenigsegg Agera, we can see many micro-perforations invisible from the outside, which provide excellent visibility of the instrument panel dials at any time of the day.

The center console houses a large multi-function touch screen display. This unit includes features such as satellite navigation, Bluetooth, and an audio control system. The entire interior of the car can be compared with the internal compartment of a spacecraft - everything is just as intricate and unusual. By the way, the steering wheel has comfortable places for gripping hands, and on the sides on each side there are 4 remote control buttons. salonthe upholstery is predominantly in light colors - even the floor mats inside are painted white!

But along with the good points, there are also disadvantages. Fortunately, the Koenigsegg Agera does not have very many of them. The main disadvantage of this sports car is a small trunk, the total volume of which is only 120 liters. Although against the background of other sports cars, this figure cannot be called the smallest. On the contrary, the trunk of the Koenigsegg Agera is one of the most spacious for a car in this class.

Koenigsegg Agera: engine performance and acceleration dynamics

Engineers paid even more attention to the engine compartment of the sports car. The current Koenigsegg Agera R is powered by a single 5.0-liter eight-cylinder petrol engine. Depending on the type of fuel absorbed (95th gasoline or E-85 biofuel), this unit is able to develop power from 900 to 1100 horsepower. At the same time, its maximum torque at 3300 rpm is about 1200 N / m, which makes the Koenigsegg-Ager one of the most powerful cars in the world.

It is worth noting the surprisingly light weight of this engine. The curb weight of this eight-cylinder unit is 197 kilograms. Such a light weight should certainly be reflected in the acceleration dynamics. Indeed, the dynamic characteristics of the Koenigsegg Agera can surprise everyone. So, a jerk from zero to “hundreds” takes only 2.9 seconds. This is even less than some sports bikes! The car picks up the second “hundred” in 7.5 seconds. Well, up to 300 kilometers inhour Koenigsegg is able to accelerate in just 14 and a half seconds.

But not only in power is this power unit unique. The upgraded Koenigsegg Agera engine differs from other internal combustion engines in the unique shape of the combustion chamber, which significantly improves knock resistance. In addition, the engineers created an original design of the cylinder block. This feature lies in the fact that the sleeves are used to further tighten the ribs of the block. In order to reduce the pressure in the crankcase, a new pump system was developed. Koenigsegg makes all technical changes in its own laboratory, and does not order from other companies.

Brake system

The Koenigsegg Agera sports car is equipped with the latest anti-lock wheel technology, which, depending on the selected mode, can react differently to the behavior of the car. In addition, the car has massive ceramic ventilated discs that can effectively brake regardless of speed, as well as road and weather conditions.

Cost

So we got to the moment of truth. How much does a Koenigsegg sports car cost in the Russian market? Depending on the series, the price for this car starts from 56 million rubles. The most expensive versions can be purchased for 85 million 800 thousand rubles. We also note that Koenigsegg does not have such a variety of trim levels as, for example, simple budget-class cars. However, the number of customers interested in buying this car can becount on fingers.

And not only the high cost played a cruel joke with the Koenigsegg Agera. Judge for yourself, because it is unlikely that in the CIS countries there are many good asph alt roads on which one could safely drive at least 200-250 kilometers per hour (with an 8-centimeter clearance!). So it turns out that it is simply impossible to squeeze the maximum (440 kilometers per hour) out of this sports car in Russia.

Conclusion

What should we conclude from this? Yes, Koenigsegg Agera can be considered an ideal car, but not for our roads.

Even for the richest motorists, buying this sports car will seem irrational, because paying 86 million for a car that can only drive on German autobahns or special circuits is inappropriate. Koenigsegg Agera is an overpriced toy that, despite its high dynamic performance, loses significantly in terms of pricing compared to its competitors.
