All but a couple of weeks ago, we were reporting how for fun Koenisegg decided to break their own record for 0-400-0 km/h. This week, they have decided to take the best parts from three of their finest creations to form the Chimera, which has been specially created for Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of world motorsport’s governing body: The FIA.

So what exactly is the Chimera? It’s not a TVR for starters, but it features an Agera RS body with the Jesko’s 5-litre, 1578 bhp (on E85 biofuel) twin-turbo V8 and the CC850’s trick Engage Shift System gearbox which is something of an engineering marvel. This uses the Jesko’s 9-speed, 7-clutch Light Speed Transmission as its base. Additionally, it is paired with a clutch pedal to offer a six-speed manual transmission. When you’ve had enough of the manual, you can switch to the automatic mode and let the car shift for you, or make use of the paddles behind the steering wheel to move through the nine gears. It wouldn’t be Koenisegg if they didn’t outdo themselves though.

As the Chimera uses the body of the Agera RS, it’s smaller than the Jesko and brings a weight saving of 100 kg when compared to its younger sibling. With the reduced weight, it leaves us wondering what top speed potential does the Chimera have compared to the Jesko?
