Koenigsegg One:1 – Breakdown of the new King

Koenigsegg is considered by many to be one of the greatest supercar builders. Their cars are always on the leading edge of performance and technology. They don’t focus on one area of the car; track prowess, top speed, electronics, aerodynamics or suspension, but rather they advance every aspect to be competitive with the best the rest can offer in each category. From their immaculate carbon fiber work to their high tech interior, their world records in acceleration and top speed to their Triplex suspension designed for comfort and track performance and unique designs like their Aircore hollow carbon wheels and double synchro helix doors. It is amazing what such a small manufacturer like Koenigsegg has been able to do competing against multi-million and multi-billion backed efforts from the likes of Porsche, Ferrari and McLaren.
