With 1,360PS (1,341hp) the Koenigsegg One:1 supercar has managed to crash the computers used to register it in Germany as they are not capable to process such a big figure.

That’s because Germany’s national vehicle registration computer lists power output in kilowatts and can only accept three figure values. However, the Agera One:1 produces exactly 1,000 kW, a value the original designers of the computer never thought possible for a production car.

As a result, the Koenigsegg confused the registration computer which couldn’t register the supercar until technicians fixed the glitch.

The Koenigsegg One:1 sources its name from the unbelievable power to weight ratio of 1:1 – it weighs 1,341 kg (2,956 lbs) and produces 1,341 hp. The Swedish company says the One:1 is capable of a top speed of nearly 280 mph (450 km/h), with the 0 to 248 mph (399 km/h) sprint said to take 20 seconds.
