Supercar aficionados are going to want to take a seat before checking out the [Koenigsegg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koenigsegg-sadairs-spear) One: 1. Images of the Swedish supercar recently leaked, showing a carbon fiber-covered speedster that will reportedly be able to deliver one horsepower for every one kilogram it weighs. Hence the name, One: 1.

The center of the Koenigsegg One: 1 sports a checkerboard pattern which may not (we can dream) make it to production. All in all, the rest of the rendering looks outstanding. The aerodynamic body and oversized wing scream speed, and if Koenigsegg can tune the car to the heights that its name suggests, then the [Bugatti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bugatti-bolide) [Veyron](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bo-the-turbo) may be given a run for its money. (The Veyron currently holds the title of world's fastest production car.) Here's hoping the leak prompts the company to release official images soon.
