Koenigsegg One:1
-
Volvo Trucks, a separate entity to the Volvo car brand, is renowned for its out of the ordinary ad campaigns, like the 2012 campaign where a woman walked a tightrope between two moving trucks, or the more recent one where Jean-Claude Van Damme did the splits standing on the side mirrors of two trucks rolling in reverse. Now Volvo Trucks is taking on an almost impossible challenge, racing the world’s most powerful car, the 1,341-horsepower (1,360 hp in metric figures) One:1 supercar from fellow Swedish brand Koenigsegg. With only 540 hp, the Volvo FH truck in this latest video is clearly...

Koenigsegg’s new One:1 supercar is the most powerful production car ever built. Its twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine delivers a claimed 1,000 kilowatts, which equates to 1,341 horsepower or 1,360 horses if you’re into using metric figures. Peak torque, meanwhile, is an equally incredible 1,011 pound-feet, the bulk of which is produced below 3,000 rpm. By comparison, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is producing a substantially lower 1,183 horsepower, and the current crop of hybrid supercars from Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche don’t even come close, with the most powerful...
