Koenigsegg Could Build an Unbelievable Track-Only Car

Think One:1, but never on the road.

Christian von Koenigsegg is astoundingly brilliant. If you spend just 10 second with him, you'll realize that he operates on a different wavelength than us normal mortals.

That's what makes his series of Q&As on the Koenigsegg website so enthralling. And while he may be talking a lot about why the powertrain for the Regera works the way it does, he also has a handle on what people really want from his cars: speed.

So it comes as no surprise when the question of a track-only One:1 isn't met with a "no," but something much closer to a "yes."

That is something we are thinking about. But it wouldn't be a One:1 because that was optimized as a road car with incredible track performance. This would be a track-only car, which therefore has a different philosophy.

So, there won't be a One:1 that is track only, since the One:1 was designed as the ultimate road car. What we could see is something even lighter weight and more aggressive. Imagine the same 1,360 HP engine with even less weight to carry and more aggressive aero that doesn't have to worry about road regulations? It's something that makes us absolutely giddy.

Now we just have to wait for it to become a reality.
