Koenigsegg Chimera
The Koenigsegg Chimera is a 1 of 1 production mid-engine sports car manufactured by Swedish automobile manufacturer Koenigsegg. It was unveiled on 7 July 2024 at The Aurora, Båstad Sweden for FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem.[1]
The Koenigsegg Chimera is based on the Koenigsegg Agera RS chassis. It has the Koenigsegg Jesko engine and the Koenigsegg CC850 transmission. This car, like the Koenigsegg CCGT, is one of one manufactured car. The Chimera was used as a testing platform to develop the CC850 three years prior to the unveiling at The Aurora Concours.[2]
The engine is the Jesko's 5.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 which does without a flywheel. Using 95-octane standard pump fuel it will output 1,280bhp or 1,600bhp on E85 fuel.[1]
