Koenigsegg, Swedish maker of high-performance sports car and hyper-cars, has a list of crazy cars that bring to mind quite a few bat out of hell references. Last year at Geneva, they stole the show with their One:1 — the world’s first megacar with 1MegaWatt of power (1341bhp) and a 440kmph top speed. The USP is that it is the first production car to feature a one-to-one power-to-weight ratio (some claim Hennesey’s Venom F5 was technically the first, though).

So what can we expect from the manufacturer at this year’s Geneva Motor Show? The Swedish marque has put up two teaser images of their expected unveils at Geneva. This time, there’s two of them, the first being the Agera RS. The manufacturer already has the Agera S and Agera R, both with over 1000bhp. The mash-up, RS, is expected to be one of the big mega/hyper car news for March. All the information is under wraps, but what we can expect, is a twin-turbocharged 5.0-litre V8 that produces 1140 horsepower and 1200Nm of torque, the same one that does duty in the Agera R, though with an increase numbers.

Regeara

The next bit from Swedish hypercar maker, is the long rumored new car, the Regera. The teaser made it clear that the Regera is, again, a megacar. This means speculation on them making an entry level sports car to go up against the McLaren 650S and Ferrari 458 Italia have been quashed. All the other information is reserved for the Geneva Motor Show, making the Koenigsegg stall at the show, a hot spot.
