The Agera R is to the Agera what the CCXR is to the CCX. If that statement means nothing to you, then think of the Agera R as a more environmentally friendly and more powerful version of the base Agera. Using the beneficial qualities of E85 biofuel, including a higher octane rating and cooling abilities, the engine can run with higher compression, boost pressure, and more spark advance compared to the normal engine.
The result is a Veryon Super Sport-comparable 1,100 hp on E85 biofuel and peak torque of 885 lb-ft. of torque from its in-house 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine. But wait, doesn’t the CCX and the Agera use a 4.7-liter V-8? Well, Koenigsegg has also taken this time to announce the new 5.0-liter V-8 that the company will be utilizing in the base Agera and Agera R.
Koenigsegg says that the Agera R utilizes a particularly robust engine capable of withstanding extreme pressures. Utilizing a purely theoretical tool called Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP), Koenigsegg says the Agera has a BMEP rating of 406 psi on 95 octane and 435 psi on E85 biofuel. The best production engines from other leading manufacturers have a maximum BMEP of around 319 psi. The Agera’s turbochargers have a maximum pressure of 22 psi.
A newly developed seven-speed gearbox for the Agera features dual clutches for very smooth, yet extremely fast shifts. The Agera also makes use of what Koenigsegg calls one of the lightest and fastest E-Differentials on the market. The E-Diff takes into account the throttle angle, g-forces on the car, steering wheel angle, yaw angle, car speed, engine rpm, selected gear, and weather conditions. It also works in harmony with the new traction control system that Koenigsegg says is the fastest reacting in the industry.
