The most obvious is the rear-wing, mounted high on two fins, which themselves improve high-speed balance. The wing is top-mounted to improve the airflow and the angle can be varied to reduce drag, increase downforce or even function as an air-brake. The underbody venturis also include active components again to either reduce drag at high speed or increase downforce through corners.
At the time of the Geneva launch, Koenigsegg announced that in addition to the prototype, six cars would be built for customers. These were sold almost instantly, and eventually Koenigsegg decided to sell the prototype as well. But not before it was extensively shown around the world, and was also submitted to high speed test and development work around the world. In the process many new records were set, including the 0-300-0 km/h time and also production car lap records at legendary tracks like Spa Francorchamps and Suzuka.
Completed in the Summer of 2015, the sixth and final example was completed and delivered to its American owner. Of the six production cars only one was finished with right-hand drive. The world's first Mega Car, the One:1 remains, above all, as a fitting testament to the engineering prowess and craftsmanship of the Koenigsegg designers and builders. It can really only be eclipsed by the next machine to emerge from the Angelholm, Sweden factory. << Prev Page 2 of 2
