Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - Koenigsegg Says the One:1 Would Obliterate the Hybrid Supercars - FZ Restoration Livermore- 925-294-5666

There has recently been an onslaught of hybrid supercar comparisons. There's also been a series of videos comparing the big three hybrids to the Bugatti Veyron and Pagani Huayra. But one manufacturer has been conspicuously absent from these tests.

Koenigsegg.

And in a post on their own blog, Koenigsegg wants to remind the world that its supercars would absolutely dominate in any of these comparisons, and they realize that humble bragging about themselves isn't always the most flattering thing, but sometimes it has to be done.

Disclaimer: It would normally be considered somewhat impolite for a company such as ours to talk about our vehicle's performance this way. This is why we don't usually talk directly about competitor cars when we do performance tests. We let the figures speak for themselves. However, in this instance, with one of our customers writing to us directly about this, we thought it important to say something, primarily to provide reassurance to our customers about the cars that they are buying.​

 Koenigsegg says that the manufacturer-listed 0 to 186 mph times for the 918 (19.9 seconds), P1 (16.5 seconds), and LaFerrari (15 seconds) would be destroyed by their cars, especially after the recent video tests showed these cars run up to seven seconds slower than the times the manufacturers claimed.

We are on the record – with video support – as having achieved a 14.53 second time for a 0-300kmh sprint. That time is half-a-second faster than the fastest manufacturer-claimed time from the #HolyTrinity cars.

That was with an Agera R in 2011.

We are also on the record – with video support – as having achieved an11.922 second time for a 0-300kmh sprint. That's a full three seconds faster than the fastest #HolyTrinity claimed time.

That was earlier in 2015 with the One:1

There is no doubt that the One:1, Agera, and the upcoming Regera are insanely fast. Now we just need to see them go up against the rest of their competition in a straight fight.
