Koenigsegg Automotive AB (Swedish: [ˈkøːnɪɡsɛɡ] ( listen)) is a Swedish manufacturer of high-performance sports cars, based in Ängelholm, Skåne County, Sweden The Koenigsegg Agera is a mid-engined sports car produced by Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg since March 2011. It is a successor to the Koenigsegg CCX/CCXR. The name comes from the Swedish verb 'agera' which means "to act" or in imperative form "(You) act!". It was named Hypercar of the Year in 2010 by Top Gear of November 2017 the Agera RS model is the world's fastest production car, with a GPS-verified two-way average top speed of mph (447 km/h) and a fastest straight-line speed of mph (458 km/h). The Agera is powered by an in-house developed twin-turbocharged V8 engine which produces 940 PS (927 hp; 691 kW) at 6,900 rpm and 1,100 N⋅m (810 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm.[7] Total weight of the engine is only 197 kg (434 lb) thanks to a carbon fibre inlet manifold and the aluminium construction.[8] The transmission is a specially developed 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).
