Heading to RM Sotheby’s Tegernsee Auction on July 4, this 2015 Koenigsegg One:1 represents one of the most significant hypercars of the modern era. With an estimated value reaching $11.5 million, the car is among only six customer-delivered examples ever built, making it one of the rarest and most coveted creations from the Swedish manufacturer.
First revealed at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the One:1 redefined the limits of road-legal performance. Rather than chasing outright speed alone, founder Christian von Koenigsegg pursued an unprecedented engineering target: a perfect 1:1 power-to-weight ratio. The result was a hypercar producing 1,360 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 while weighing just 1,360 kilograms. The engine’s output exceeded one megawatt, earning the One:1 the distinction of being the world’s first “megacar.”
Its technical sophistication remains impressive even by current standards. Advanced active aerodynamics, lightweight carbon-fiber Aircore wheels, Triplex suspension technology, variable-geometry turbochargers, and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission combined to create one of the most capable performance cars ever produced. Koenigsegg claimed the One:1 could accelerate from 0 to 248 mph (400 km/h) in just 20 seconds, while its tires were rated for speeds up to 273 mph (440 km/h).
Offered here is chassis 7108, believed to be the third customer car completed. Known within enthusiast circles as “JC,” the car is arguably the most recognizable One:1 ever built. Its clear-coated carbon-fiber and Kevlar bodywork is highlighted by distinctive China Pink accents that trace the vehicle’s aerodynamic elements, including the splitter, side skirts, roof scoop, diffuser, and active rear wing. Matching details extend to the Aircore wheels and brake calipers.
The interior mirrors this bespoke specification with black leather, Alcantara, carbon-fiber bucket seats, and coordinated China Pink stitching and trim. Delivered new in Germany in April 2015, the car has been meticulously maintained by Koenigsegg specialists throughout its life and showed just 4,233 kilometers (approximately 2,630 miles) at cataloging.
Beyond its rarity and performance, ownership includes access to Koenigsegg’s exclusive Ghost Squadron community. As one of only six customer examples produced, chassis 7108 stands as a landmark achievement in hypercar engineering and a centerpiece-worthy acquisition for any serious collector.
