Last November we brought you the single image from a sales brochure of what was then believed to be the latest Bugatti-beating Koenigsegg, called the One:1.

Now we have what are widely considered the latest leaks of the already infamous Swedish hypercar. In the low-res discussion board sourced renders, we can see a few more details of the One:1, including its carbon fiber wheels.

The One:1 isn’t as silly a name as you think it is. It actually stands for the car’s ideal power-to-weight ratio, with one horsepower for each kilogram in its curb weight.

Engine details are not yet known but Autocar wagers the One:1 will feature a even more precisely tuned version of the Koenigsegg Agera’s twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8. In the Agera, that engine makes 947 horsepower, good for 0-62mph in 3.0 seconds. For the One:1, it’s expected to produce upwards of 1400 horsepower and a sub three-second 0-60 time.

Although power will be up and weight will be down, the Swedes will still offer some creature comforts in the One:1, including climate control, a hydraulic lift system so the body doesn’t collide with speed bumps, carbon-ceramic brakes, electrically locking rear differential, and a single-clutch seven-speed transmission with paddle shifters.

The One:1 is expected to run around $2-million. But don’t worry; you won’t even get a chance to buy one because all five examples are destined for China. Why? We haven’t a clue.

Electric cars are getting more pocket-friendly globally, except for US buyers
The US EV market's 2025 decline wasn't about consumer disinterest. It was the predictable result of eliminating financial incentives.

In 2025, one in four cars sold anywhere in the world was electric. However, in the US, that figure is closer to one in ten, and it is not moving in the right direction. 

The falling EV prices globally have pushed sales to record levels. American buyers, on the other hand, are marching through 2026 with fewer incentives, higher prices, and a shrinking selection of affordable options.

For EV enthusiasts and Lexus fans, the news is particularly disappointing because the LF-ZC represented one of the clearest signs that Lexus was finally preparing to make a serious leap into the premium electric future.

Rivian thinks Apple CarPlay is already obsolete and AI is the reason why
Rivian’s AI push could change how you use cars in the future

Rivian has once again defended its controversial decision to skip Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but this time the company says the future of in-car technology is moving beyond smartphone mirroring altogether. According to Rivian’s software leadership, rapid advances in artificial intelligence could soon make the entire CarPlay debate irrelevant.

The comments come as Rivian continues expanding its own AI-powered vehicle software ecosystem instead of adopting Apple’s popular in-car platform. For years, the company has faced criticism from buyers who wanted CarPlay support, but Rivian now believes AI assistants will eventually replace many of the functions drivers currently rely on through their phones.
