HYPER CAR

19:59    No comments

Hyper Car



Hyper cars are top of the line supercars that are the absolute finest in most, if not all, elements of a standard supercar. These elements include, but are not limited to, acceleration, price, rarity, top speed, sound and appearance.[1]
Lykan HyperSport

Definition[edit]

Hyper cars take certain qualities of high performance cars (supercars) to a new level, such characteristics include exhilarating performance, the use of light weight components and advanced production processes in construction and innovative and ergonomic design. Although all such characteristics could apply to super cars as well but usually, hyper cars excel in all the characteristics of super cars while being heavily expensive. A hyper car's goal is to be faster than any other car while being luxurious and appealing. They utilise high performance derivatives of the engines found in super cars and are constructed from light weight materials such as carbon fibre in order to achieve their goal of being unbeatable. They also utilise exclusive and unique interior components for being comfortable as well as special for their owners. [2]
Unlike super cars, hyper cars are fully customisable and are made as the owner desires. Every hyper car is unique in terms of specification and the attention to detail put on producing it fulfilling the desire of those who want to own a special car specifically made for them.

Criteria[edit]

When it comes to deciding the qualifying factors that determine if a supercar can make it under the hypercar title, we see a lot of unclear and open-ended criteria. The qualifications are not obvious or easy to designate due to the fact that there is not a 100% straight forward book definition of hypercar since it is just coming into our daily language.[3]
In order to be submitted into the hypercar family, the vehicle needs to meet all criteria of a supercar while continuing to push the boundaries in performance. Having up-to-date technology and modernized, creative and unique design are a few main topics that most of the open-ended criteria falls under.[4]
Almost every aspect of a hypercar should be a step into the future for automotive technology, engineering technology and exterior body design.[2] Dreaming up, creating and putting together these ultimate machines can be looked at like a competition to see who can come out with the newest and most sleek new desired machinery.[3]
Certain supercars like the Lamborghini Murcielago and the Ferrari Enzo (which are still ultimate driving machines but once qualified to be hypercars) are slowly sliding down the supercar scale due to the fact that hypercars are advancing more and more with every generation.[2]
Although the advancement in technology seems impressive and like a step into the future, it sets back previously known hypercars and challenges the creators to build the newest, most crazy and desirable version of their automobile. At this rate, every remarkable breakthrough we learn and apply to these vehicles today will very soon be tomorrow's common feature when the next cooler update is created.[2]
Do not be discouraged if you think less of supercars after educating yourself on this topic, because all this means is that the advancement of supercars will quickly increase and upgrade as well.[3]
A few things to keep in mind when deciding if a car can switch from the "super" to the "hyper" title are how well they exceed the normal statistics in, acceleration, top speed, price, exclusivity (How many were made and their accessibility), style, handling (steering, breaking, cornering, etc.), and horsepower and torque.[4]

History[edit]

1950's Jaguar XKSS and Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe[edit]

"Hypercars" were first introduced in the 1950s. Which included the Jaguar XKSS and the Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coup.[5]
Jaguar XKSS

1960's Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale[edit]

The Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 was the one of the first cars to actually best describe a "hypercar." Following the Stradale, a 2.0L V8 engine that could perform an outstanding 230 hp to almost 270 hp fully tuned. Weighing in at 1,543 lbs, it was one of the fastest road cars in its class.[5]

1970's Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxers[edit]

Famously known for being in the movie The Wolf of Wall Street, The Lamborghini Countach was known as a "supercar" as well.[5]

1980’s Ferrari 288 GTO, Porsche 959 and Ferrari F40[edit]

Ferrari 288 GTO[edit]

Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale
This V8 400 hp Ferrari 288 GTO Supercar could reach speeds up to 189 mph, making it the first road car to ever beat the 300 km/h (186 mph) record.[5]
Turned out to be a very high demand for this supercar, Ferrari decided to put a high focus on this vehicle[5]

Porsche 959[edit]

Porsche rivalry and competition decided to release the Porsche 959, highly technological and most advanced road car at the time. This all wheel drive, twin turbocharged vehicle beat the Ferrari 288 GTO top speed record.[5]

Ferrari F40[edit]

Ferrari then decided to engineer and produce 1,300 F40's and 10 F40 LM/Competizione models. The Porsche killer, was then to be released for Ferrari's 40th anniversary.[5]
Lamborghini Countach
Producing 478 hp, this twin turbocharged 2.9L V8, this supercar was the first in history to ever beat the 200 mph barrier reaching top speed of up to 201 mph.[1]

Koenigsegg Automotive AB (/ˈkʌnɪɡsɛɡ/; Swedish pronunciation: [ˈkøːnɪɡsɛɡ] (About this sound listen)) is a Swedish manufacturer of high-performance sports cars, based in Ängelholm, Skåne County, Sweden.

Company[edit]

Koenigsegg CCX
The company was founded in 1994 in Sweden by Christian von Koenigsegg, with the intention of producing a "world-class" supercar. Many years of development and prototyping led to the company's first street-legal production car delivery in 2002.
In 2006 Koenigsegg began production of the CCX, which uses an engine created in-house especially for that vehicle. The CCX is street-legal in most countries, including the United States.
In March 2009 the Koenigsegg CCXR was chosen by Forbes to be one of the most beautiful cars in history.[3]
In December 2010 the Koenigsegg Agera won the BBC Top Gear Hypercar of the Year Award.
Apart from developing, manufacturing and selling the Koenigsegg line of supercars, Koenigsegg is also involved in "green technology" development programmes beginning with the CCXR ("Flower Power") flex-fuel supercar and continuing through the present with the Agera R. Koenigsegg is also active in development programs of plug-in electric cars' systems and next-generation reciprocating engine technologies. Koenigsegg also is working[when?] on a camless piston engine for the Regera.[4]
Koenigsegg develops and produces most of the main systems, subsystems and components needed for their cars in-house instead of relying on subcontractors. At the end of 2015 Koenigsegg had 97 employees, with an engineering department of 25 engineers, led by the founder.[2]

History[edit]

Prototypes and production[edit]

Koenigsegg Agera debut at Geneva Auto Show 2011
The initial design of the Koenigsegg CC was drawn by von Koenigsegg. Industrial designer David Crafoord realised the sketches as a 1:5 scale model. This model was later scaled up in order to create the base plug for the initial Koenigsegg prototype that was finished in 1996. During the next years the prototype went through extensive testing and several new prototypes were built.

Factory history[edit]

von Koenigsegg got the idea to build his own car after watching the Norwegian stop-motion animated movie Pinchcliffe Grand Prix in his youth.[5] He took his first steps in the world of business in his early 20s running a trading company called Alpraaz in Stockholm, Sweden. Alpraaz exported food from Europe to the developing world. The success of this venture gave von Koenigsegg the necessary financial standing to launch his chosen career as a car manufacturer.
Initially, Koenigsegg Automotive was based in Olofström. In 1997 the company needed larger facilities and moved to a farm, just outside Ängelholm. On 22 February 2003, one of the production facilities caught fire and was badly damaged. From 2003 on the two large fighter-jet hangars and an office building were converted into a car factory. Since it is located on the still-active Ängelholm airport, clients can arrive by private jet nearby. Koenigsegg controls and uses the former military runway for shakedown runs of production cars and high speed testing.
The Koenigsegg badge was designed in 1994 by Jacob Låftman, based on the heraldic coat of arms of the Koenigsegg family. The shield has been the family's coat of arms since the 12th century when a family member was knighted by the Germany-based Holy Roman Empire.

Attempted purchase of Saab[edit]

On 12 June 2009, the media reported that Koenigsegg Group, consisting of Koenigsegg Automotive AB, Christian von Koenigsegg, Bård Eker and a group of investors led by Mark Bishop had signed a letter of intent with Saab to take over the brand from General Motors. General Motors confirmed on June 16 that they had chosen Koenigsegg Group as the buyer of Saab Automobile.[6] The deal, set to close 30 September 2009, included US$600 million in financing from the European Investment Bank, guaranteed by the Swedish government. By comparison, in 2008 Koenigsegg with its staff of 45 produced 18 cars at an average price of US$1 million each; Saab employed 3,400 workers and made more than 93,000 cars.[7]
General Motors announced on 18 August that the deal had been signed, although certain financing details remained to be completed. On 9 September 2009, Koenigsegg announced that BAIC was going to join as a minority stakeholder in Koenigsegg.[8]
In November 2009 Koenigsegg decided not to finalise the purchase of Saab and, therefore, left the negotiations. The timing uncertainty of finalisation of the take over was the reason Koenigsegg stated for leaving the deal.[9]

Models[edit]

Koenigsegg CCGT
A Koenigsegg CC prototype was first publicised in 1996, while the full carbon fibre production prototype was finally unveiled at the 2000 Paris Motor Show. The first customer took delivery of a red CC8S in 2002 at the Geneva Auto Show and four more cars were built that year. Koenigsegg was established in Asia later that year with a premiere at the Seoul Auto Show. In 2004 the new CCR was unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show; only 14 were made.
In 2006 Koenigsegg introduced the CCX, a new model, that was created in order to meet worldwide regulations for road use. This meant the cars had to go through extensive development in order to meet the latest and most stringent safety and emission standards that the world's authorities demanded; Koenigsegg had to, for example, develop their own engines and other related technologies. Furthermore, Koenigsegg is the only supercar and low-volume manufacturer to pass the new European pedestrian impact tests. Just after Koenigsegg passed this test, the requirement was deemed too complicated for compliance by low-volume manufacturers, so it is now unnecessary to meet these regulations if the production volume of a given model is less than 10,000 cars annually.
In 2007 Koenigsegg premiered the CCXR, a biofuel/flex-fuel version of the CCX. The car features a modified engine, fuel system, and engine management system that enables the car to run on regular petrol or ethanol, and in any mixture between these two fuels. Ethanol has a higher octane rating compared to regular fuel and has an internal cooling effect on the combustion chamber, which allows increased performance.
In 2009 Koenigsegg released information about a special edition car called the Trevita, of which three were planned to be made but only two were finished due to technical problems. The Trevita, which translates into English as "three whites", has a body made entirely of Koenigsegg's proprietary material consisting of diamond-coated carbon fibre. The Trevita is based on the CCXR, and therefore produces 1,018 hp (759 kW) when running on biofuel.[10]
In 2010 Koenigsegg released information at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show on a new model called the Agera, which translates into English as "take action/act". The Agera features a Koenigsegg developed 5.0-litre variable geometry twin-turbocharger V8 engine capable of 910 hp (679 kW), coupled to a newly developed 7-speed gearbox. The Agera's design follows a clear lineage from the previous Koenigsegg supercars, but adds many special new features, such as a wider front track, new styling and aerodynamic features, and a new interior; including a new lighting technique they call "Ghost Light", which consists of microscopic holes to hide the interior lighting until it is turned on, which then shines through what appears to be solid aluminium. The Agera has been in production since late 2010.[11][12]
At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Koenigsegg presented a new car named the Regera, which translates into English as to "reign" or "rule". The Regera uses the Koenigsegg Direct Drive (KDD) transmission. Below 48 km/h (30 mph), motive power is by two electric motors on the rear wheels and the internal combustion engine (ICE) is disconnected. Above 48 km/h (30 mph), the ICE is connected by a fixed ratio transmission with no gearbox, torque vectoring by the previously mentioned electric motors and boosted by a third electric motor attached to the driveshaft.
Koenigsegg initially based its custom engine builds on a V8 engine block from Ford Racing. These engines powered the initial run of CC monikered cars. The block for the 4800cc V8 in the CCX (Competition Coupe Ten, to celebrate ten years of the company) was cast for Koenigsegg by Grainger & Worrall of the UK who also casts the block for the Agera R's 5.0-litre engine[13]

List of models[edit]

Records[edit]

Koenigsegg CCR at Broughtons, Berkshire, UK
On 28 February 2005, at 12:08 h local time, in Nardò, Italy, the CCR broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest production car in the world, having attained 241.63 mph (388.87 km/h) on the Nardò Ring (a circular track of 7.8 mi (12.6 km) circumference), breaking the record previously held by the McLaren F1.[37][38] It held the record until September 2005 when the Bugatti Veyron broke the record again at 253.81 mph (408.47 km/h), proven by Car and Driver and Top Gear. Both the record set by Bugatti and the one set by McLaren were set on Volkswagen's own test-track Ehra-Lessien, which features a 5.6 miles (9.0 km) straight.[39]
When it was introduced, the Koenigsegg CCXR held the power-to-weight ratio record for production cars, with a power-to-weight ratio of 1.3 kg (2.9 lb)/hp. Later the Koenigsegg One:1 held this record, with a power-to-weight ratio of 1 kg (2.2 lb)/hp.
In 2008 the German magazine sport auto conducted a 0–300–0 km/h (0–186–0 mph) test for production cars, with the CCX winning the event in a total time of 29.2 seconds.[40]
In September 2011, the Agera R broke the Guinness World Record for 0–300 km/h with a time of just 14.53 seconds and a 0-300-0 km/h time of 21.19 seconds.[41] Koenigsegg improved this record with the One:1 on 8 June 2015. It proved 0–300 km/h in 11.92 seconds and 0-300-0 km/h in 17.95 seconds (3.24 sec improvement on the 2011, Koenigsegg Agera R record), it also proved 0–200 mph (0–322 km/h) in 14.328 seconds and 0-200-0 mph in 20.71 seconds.[42]
On 1 October 2017, an Agera RS set an unofficial record for 0–400–0 km/h (0–249–0 mph) with a time of 36.44 seconds. The record was set at the Vandel Airfield in Denmark and broke the record of 42 seconds. The Agera RS broke the previous record set by the Bugatti Chiron a few weeks earlier.[43]
On 4 November 2017, an Agera RS set a new record for the world's fastest production car with an average speed of 446.97 km/h (277.73 mph). The record breaking run was done on a closed 11 mi (18 km) section of Nevada State Route 160 in Pahrump, Nevada, United States. On the same day they also beat their own 0–400–0 km/h record they set a few weeks prior (33.29 seconds compared to the old record of 36.44 seconds).[32][33]
