Christian von Koenigsegg talked to Bloomberg Businessweek over the weekend, telling the publication about his youth, the supercar business and how most Koenigsegg designs start in his head. It's all worth a read. But at the end of the four-page article, the head of the brand hints at a new car, built as a “money-is-no-object venture” for a dealer in China. The car will be called the One:1.

According to Bloomberg, von Koenigsegg's vision is to create a supercar that achieves a one to one power-to-weight ratio. The plan is for a 1,400-pound, 1,400-hp beast, meant to take on the new crop of supercars from Ferrari, Porsche and Bugatti.

“Other cars have achieved this but by measuring dry weight -- no oil, no water, no fuel,” von Koenigsegg told Bloomberg.

The final number will take into account the fluids and also the driver.

According to von Koenigsegg, computer simulations project the One:1 will hit 279 mph, and will be the fastest car from 0-124 mph (200 kph), 0-186 mph (300 kph) and 0-248 mph (400 kph). Von Koenigsegg said a prototype will be ready by the end of this year.

Of course, all six examples planned for production are already spoken for. And backups for those buyers--should they back out -- have been chosen as well. Von Koenigsegg didn't reveal the price, but says it's substantially higher than the $1.4-million cost of the Agera S. A version of that car just sold in Singapore for $5.3 million, which includes the country's high taxes.

Von Koenigsegg signs off by telling the reporter, “No one needs a car like this, they just need to want one.”
