 Here is Koenigsegg Agera sport car review, modification, and wallpaper. The  Koenigsegg Agera is a mid-engined sports car made by Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg as of 2011. It is a successor to the Koenigsegg CCX/CCXR. The name Agera comes from the Swedish verb ‘agera’ which means “to act”. It was named Hypercar of the Year in 2010 by Top Gear Magazine.

  
Koenigsegg Agera engine and transmission

The Koenigsegg Agera is powered by an in-house developed 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine which produces 940 hp at 6900 rpm and 1100 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. Total weight of the engine is only 197 kg (434 lb) thanks to a carbon fiber intake manifold and the aluminum construction. The transmission is a 7-speed dual clutch with paddle shifters. It is the first dual clutch transmission to feature only one input shaft. The second clutch slows down the input shaft during up shifts in order to reduce the time it takes to synchronize the next gear, resulting in faster shift times. Most notably, the transmission weighs only 81 kg (179 lb).

Koenigsegg Agera exterior and interior
The Koenigsegg Agera has a body made from pre-impregnated carbon fiber/kevlar with lightweight reinforcements. The car’s hardtop roof is stowable under the front hood lid. The chassis is also made out of carbon fiber with an aluminum honeycomb that comes with integrated fuel tanks for optimal weight distribution and safety. The rear wing is electronically adjustable with auto setting or manual control in order to have as little compromise as possible between low drag and down force, depending on situation and mood.

The Agera comes with forged aluminum wheels with center locking, measuring 19″ on the front and 20″ on the back and wrapped in a set of Michelin Super Sport tires that can be used with speeds of up to 260 mph. Other highlights include the trademark Koenigsegg doors, a new traction control system, LED lighting, blue hood stripes that continue on through the cockpit of the car and a custom interior with a new “Ghost light” lighting system, which uses fiber optics to shine through the car’s aluminum buttons.
