They didn’t want to do it. But all the noise Bugatti made about the Chiron’s 0-400-0 record forcedKoenigsegg to react and defend their dignity. So they dispatched aKoenigsegg Agera RS to the test track with the factory test driver and set a record that makes Chiron wet its pants. So let’s get down to the numbers. The privately-ownedKoenigsegg Agera RS used in this test completed the 0-400-...

Two European boutique car makers have joined forces to present exotic car buyers a viable alteative to the Ferraris and Lamborhginis they are so used to. We are talking about the newSpyker C8 Preliator Spyder which made it Geneva debut last week with aKoenigsegg V8 in its midst.The newKoenigse...

Major auto shows always mean a new special edition or one-ffKoenigsegg, and here’s the offering for this year’s Geneva Motor Show. This handsome beast you see here is calledKoenigsegg Agera RS Gryphon, and it is the kind of car, one would imagine,Ragnar Lothbrok would drive… if he weren’t an ancient fictional viking.At any rate,Koenigsegg Agera RS Gryphon gets its name from mythical beastwith the body and rear legs of a lion and the head, wings and front talons of an eagle. That is a pretty accurate picture of the kind of creature that would be able to handle this machine. It is based on the One:1 Agera, which means the 1,360 kg hyper car has 1,360 horsepower. So as it tus out the One:1 wasn...

These days German tuner Edo Competition keeps busy doing light modifications on the latest GT cars, but not the long ago they were the world’s most badass tuner working on hyper cars no other firm dared touching. This 2011 Edo Koenigsegg CCR is a relic from that period and it is still more awesome than all other Edo cars combined. It takes a lot of guts to take a car like the CCR and claim you can improve on the work of a firm like Koenigsegg. But that is exactly what Edo did back in the day. They put their money where they mouth is by not only boosting the power output of this naughty car, but also improving its driving experience. Edo Koenigsegg CCR received in its tuning treatment a ...

Monterey Car Week and Pebble BeachConcoursehave always been significant events for Swedish hyper car makerKoenigsegg. They always reserve their most special debuts for this event. So following last year’s debut of the One:1, this year at Monterey they will introduce the new Koenigsegg Agera XS. The latest one-off Agera will be on display alongside the company’s brand-new and yet-to-be-launched Regera which will flaunt its 1,500 horsepower hybrid power at Monetery to whet the appetite of U.S. customer prior to the car’s launch in early 2017. They are only making 80 Regeras. As for what sets the Koenigsegg Agera XS apart from the other editions, the car showcases, above anything else, how...

Granted, the Scandinavians are used to storms and it takes a lot to impress them. But I reckon the meeting of fifteen roaring Koenigsegg models would do the trick nicely. This was the first factory-organized driving tour and owenrs’ meeting event by thecompany, and it tued out to be excellent. Part of the reason why the even was so good is because it wasn’t very crowded. Koenigsegg makes only one car per month, which means the Koenigsegg owners club is a pretty lonely place. This factory-backed rally gathered together thirteen cars which was then reduced to thirteen as they went from Denmark to Sweden and back, but then what that meant was the company could cater to each and every one o...

There is a Four Seasons George V hotel in Champs-Élysees, Paris, which is an absolute hot spot for hyper car. A few days ago we saw the one-off Pagani Huayra Pearl over there, now check out another one-off, multi-million Euro hyper car, the Koenigsegg Agera R. And it’s not alone. The blue Koenigsegg Agera R is accompanied by a Bugatti Veyron and what appears to be a Brabus Rocket 900 Maybach. The latter was also present when the Pearl popped by the hotel. Of course, they do have a parking garage, but in true Monte Carlo style the hotel lets their high-profile guests to park their hyper machines in front of the joint… until someone with an ever higher profile and a sicker car tus up. Vi...

Even though they have only made like six Koenigsegg One:1 and all of them are sold, the Swedish “Megacar” maker is adamant their Nurgburgring escapades in this car is purely for testing reason and they have no interest in any lap records. Right, so they are testing a car that’s already sold out and out of production… Of course, they can tell you they are using the Koenigsegg One:1 as a test bed for the next ultra-hot megacar, but it takes no genius to see that in doing so they are also guing for a lap record at the Green Hell. We reckon they are not openly admitting it because the records haven’t been particularly brilliant so far. If they manage to set a remarkable time we’re going to ...

When you put your heart and soul in designing a car, it just won’t age. The Koenigsegg CCX is ten years old now, but looking at you would think it has just been launched. That’s how timeless the design of this car is. That is doubly true in the case of this bare carbon version, on display at Alain Class showroom in Dubai. Of course, it helps that most other Koenigsegg models that came after the CCX looked fairly similar to this model and that has stopped this one looking out of date. But still, many of the super cars from ten years ago look old-fashioned these days, but Koenigsegg CCX has maintained its vigor. Not only that, it looks cooler and more macho than almost all of today’s hype...

Porsche themselves have tried to give us an up close and personal look at the new Porsche 718 Boxster sports car, but their efforts are now made to look amateurish compared with what the boys at Evo have come up with. In this video they take you on a tour of the Porsche 718 Boxster S and discuss every important detail and push every important button. This is pretty much all you need to know about the new Boxster: [embedded content] Porsche 718 Boxster S Specs: Engine PDK Number of cylinders 4 Displacement 2,497 cm³ Engine layout Mid-engine Power 257 kW (350 hp) at rpm 6,500 Max. torque at rpm 420 Nm at 1,900 – 4,500 Compression ratio 9.5 : 1 ..

Peugeot figured to sell more 208s to the British public they have to enhance the appeal of the car. They decided to do that by offering increased specification and personalisation packs as well as improved looks, and thus the Peugeot 208 XS Special Edition was bo.
