Apparently Koenigsegg will bring something special to this year's Geneva Motor Show:

Exclusive: Koenigsegg One:1 Ultracar to Debut at Geneva Motor Show 2014

The power-to-weight ratio is said to be 1:1 (hence the name), i.e. a 1400kg car powered by 1400hp. This is going to be insane!

Edit: I missed the previous threads on this:

1400hp V8 engine and the 1,400kg weight. Christian von Koenigsegg adds that the Koenigsegg One:1’s weight of 1,400kg will include all water, oil and fuels and according to Christian von Koenigsegg it even includes the weight an average sized driver in that figure.

holy shit... if that ends up being true, that is one incredibly light super car!

Damn. Old F1 cars had a Power to Weight of .65kg / 1 hp, this is getting close!

Loeb's T16 Pikes Peak car was 1:1

Looks awesome. I'd still take an Agera R though. You can't take the roof of this one.

Try 1340kg (kerb)!......holy SH...T is right. Second lightest of the hypercars IF Ferrari is telling the truth about the LaFerrari. I doubt it. LaFerrari will likely be 3200-3400lbs curb. No way you can get around all those batteries. Making the 1:1 truely amazing :wink:

What I always wonder with these cars is, who are the 5 people who already purchased them? Not necessarily who but how did they know it was in production, contact someone, and make the deal final? I just don't understand.

So I guess somebody saw early news about it, figured they wanted one, called Koenigsegg and said TAKE MY MONEY, GIVE ME YOUR CAR?

I know the owner of the Veneno said he saw the Jota released and wanted it. That wasn't possible but in the process, he made it known that he wanted an opportunity to purchase the next crazy Lambo like that. He bugged everyone until it was known to contact him when something like that came up. I'm sure it's the same for this car, or it's just high profile clients that they contacted that already like ksegg.
