Koenigsegg announced that at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show will bring the mighty Agera R, an extreme version of the Agera supercar. The car will be powered buy an impressive 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine delivering 1,115 horsepower and 885 lb-ft of torque on E85, while using the 95-octane gasoline you will get ‘only’ 940 hp. The engine is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Although no numbers were released, the car is expected to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in just three seconds and a top speed of 250 mph or 402 km/h, which means that the Bugatti Veyron Supers Sport will be the car you will see it in front of you when you will hit the top speed.

Regarding the design, the car will come in an interesting paint scheme which was requested by the owner. Also, the owner of this beauty is a skier and as you can see the car also features a custom carbon fiber roof box developed in conjunction with Thule.

Other features to be seen on this supercar are the Vortex Generating Rim (VGR) wheels which act as turbine vanes that help maximize downforce wrapped in high performance Michelin tires developed especially for this model and rated up to 260 mph. [via Autoblog]
