Koenigsegg Trevita 2011 Updated

Koenigsegg Trevita is a true supercar jewel which represents new design heights in the automobile world. The name Trevita comes from the Swedish language and it means – three whites. At first glance, the Trevita’s body looks same as the CCXR’s, but with one big difference, the new Trevita is fully shaped in diamond white carbon using the new Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave technology.

With the new and unique technology, Koenigsegg has managed to coat fibers with a diamond finish. The process was fully developed at Koenigsegg headquarters in Angelholm Sweden, where the fiber treatment is conducted carefully in small quantities, prior to further processing the prepreg material.

And now the most interesting part, Koenigsegg said that they will only produce three Trevitas in total, hence the name, which automatically enthrones the supercar jewel as one of the most rare cars in the world.

Although there were no information on the Trevita’s powertrain, we believe that it will inherit the CCXR’s one. But for sure the three cars will be equipped with Koenigsegg Shimmering Diamond Weave bodywork, double carbon wing, paddle-shift, inconell exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes with ABS, hydraulic lifting system, infotainment system, tyre monitoring system, chrono instrument cluster and airbags




Koenigsegg will surprise us with a new supercar next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Called "Agera" (that means "to act" in Swedish or "ageless" in Greek), the new supercar will be limited at 16-20 cars per year. The first orders will be taken at the Geneva Motor Show, while the first customers will receive their cars by the end of the year.

The Agera was built to celebrate the company’s 15th anniversary.

The Agera is powered by the same 4.7 liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 910hp at the 6850rpm-redline and a peak torque of 1100Nm at 5100rpm. The car weights only 2832lbs and sprints from0 to 62 mph in 3.1 seconds and to 124mph in 8.9 seconds. Top speed goes up to more than 245 mph.

The Agera features the latest in braking technology, incorporating an adjustable ABS system, 392x36 and 380x34 ventilated and drilled ceramic discs. Also a first in the automotive industry is the interior illumination: Ghost light. The illumination shines through the billet aluminium buttons and surfaces by way of invisible nanotubes, creating excellent visibility of the symbols, as well as a very clean and stylish appearance, framed by an all-new carbon fbre centre console and tunnel assembly.

UPDATE 07/23/2011:
The SuperCarSpotter got the chance to take a spin in the Agera and just so happened to have a video camera ready to record all of the pulsating sounds escaping the engine through the exhaust. You may want to turn your speakers up for this one! Hit the jump for the video!
