Koenigsegg Agera R, Candidates for World's Fastest Cars

 Koenigsegg hypercar manufacturer from Sweden perform various repairs on superfast flagship car, the Agera R. Koenigsegg are now preparing to test the upper limit of the speed of his car.
An estimated 1,140 bhp-powered car to break the 440 km / h. And when that happens, then this car was captured in the title of world's fastest production car from the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport hands.
Current crown holder of the fastest production cars on earth still held by the Bugatti Veyron when the car is running up to 431 km / h. However, Koenigsegg Bugatti would not hold the record was too long.
Any repairs they do on Koenigsegg Agera R 2013 model year they just showed at the Geneva Motor Show.Personnel who previously were 1,115 bhp figures are now already in the up-grade to 1,140 bhp with E85 ethanol fuel. The engine speed limit was increased from 7,250 rpm to 7,500 rpm.


Koenigsegg new concoction is expected to be able to carry off the Agera R up to speed 440 km / h and seize the crown of world's fastest production car ever held, but is now in the hands of Bugatti.
Besides the engine, Koenigsegg one of the main focus this time is on the legs where the rim of the car now uses a lightweight carbon fiber material and are developed with Aircore technology.


Koenigsegg claims that with this new rims, the car's total weight can be trimmed up to 20 kg. That is, the load per wheel that is in this car will be lighter 5 kg. Moreover, a new exhaust fitted on this car is also claimed to be lighter and able to improve the performance.
Besides those two things, many more improvements made to the car Koenigsegg anyarnya.
Even some of the technologies implemented in the car is relatively new in the automotive world one of them is the application of nano materials in the cylinder which is claimed to reduce friction, which in turn will reduce fuel consumption and provide more power perfect treat.
This sector is considered important because, according to research by Koenigsegg there are about 6-9 percent of energy is lost when there is friction in the piston and cylinder. The use of nano materials is said to reduce the friction of 30-50 percent, which in turn enhance the performance of engines between 1.8 to 4.5 percent.
