The Koenigsegg Agera RS Engine

[Wretched]

I know it is from the manufacturer itself but it is such a great read.
The effort, the engineering, staggering.

...Sitting to the side of the production line is our engine workshop, where every Koenigsegg engine is hand-built by Mats, the guy who’s built every Koenigsegg engine in the last 4 years. Mats has been building engines all his adult life, most notably racing engines for motorcycles. He knows things about power.

So what is Mats building for Chassis 7128?

The Agera RS features Koenigsegg’s 90-degree, twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 1160hp at 7800rpm (redline at 8250rpm) and 1280Nm of torque at 4100rpm. That’s 232hp per litre of displacement. We refer to it as the ‘most downsized’ engine in the world because of this hp-per-litre figure. It’s a robust and extremely powerful engine and it is, in many ways, the core of what we do here at Koenigsegg. Our cars can do what they do primarily because of their power, handling and aerodynamics. We’ll deal with handling and aerodynamics later, but for now, let’s take a closer look at different elements of the Koenigsegg power plant....
