Prodive’s David Richards looks at Honda F1

Koenigsegg Tease: It’s a customised 2013 Agera S for Geneva 2013

Koenigsegg has released a teaser image for a new Koenigsegg at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, which will be a customised Agera S. The last news we had from the intrepid Swedes at Koenigsegg was news of a new model for China – the Koenigsegg One:1, when we were exclusively able to reveal that the One:1 was a run of five cars for China that will deliver 1hp for every 1kg of weight. Now, we have a teaser image from Koenigsegg of a car that’s heading for the Geneva Motor Show next month, and all Koenigsegg has officially revealed is the teaser image (above) and a single line of information: “Celebrate 0 – 100 – 10 with Koenigsegg Automotive at Geneva 2013″.

Honda will equip its current Civic hatch with a 1.6-litre diesel engine from early in 2013.
