    Koenigsegg Agera Replacement To Produce Over 1400 HP (1,044 kW)

    It seems the Koenigsegg Agera’s replacement puzzle is slowly coming together. So far we have learned a few ideas on its powertrain and even got a glimpse of the car’s rear end. And now, in an interview with Top Gear, Koenigsegg boss has spilled some more beans on the new hypercar revealing that it could produce over 1,400 hp (1,044 kW) from an upgraded engine.

    According to Christian von Koenigsegg, the successor to the Agera will be a completely new car as it will not carry over a single nut or bolt from the outgoing model. It will feature a rear-wheel steering system, and although it will be recognisable, the new girl will be larger than the Agera, benefiting from a longer wheelbase and higher roofline to better accommodate its occupants. The Koenigsegg boss says the new model will be like a “triple-distilled” version of the Agera.

    Predictably, the engine has also undergone some upgrades. While the Agera’s powerplant is bolted to the chassis, this twin-turbo V8 will be actively rubber mounted while boasting a red line that’s close to 9,000 rpm. Chris von Koenigsegg also revealed that the engine currently produces 1,400 hp (1,044 kW) before adding that there is possibility to let even more power out of it.

    Having learned that the Agera’s replacement will feature new components throughout, you are probably wondering what gearbox will be featured in this project and this is what the Koenigsegg boss had to say: “It’s wild. We jokingly say that all the gears we saved in the Regera, we put in the new one, so there are plenty of gears.” We can take this as a hint that the new car will have more than seven gears, but we can only guess how much more.

    The successor to the Agera is also supposed to sport the name ‘Ragnarok’, this may sound quietened down compared to the ‘Agera RS’ nameplate but the “Ragnarok” is also rumoured to let out quite a more gentle racket compared to that of the outgoing model which is known for sounding awfully aggressive.

    Koenigsegg may have let out some tidings regarding their forthcoming hypercar, adding that it will produce 1,000 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, but there is still a fair amount of details still under wraps. I guess we will have to linger until next year’s Geneva Motor Show for the car’s official reveal.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
