Here's Koenigsegg RAW digital concept supercar with power-to-weight ratio 1:1

Digital ONES In 2019, we once presented an Article related to several automotive designs created by designers for the big Swedish automotive brand, Koenigsegg. So, regarding this matter, we feel that we have missed something, because there is one supercar design that we have missed.
The Koenigsegg RAW which originated as a thesis project titled 'RAW by Koenigsegg' of a Finnish design student of the Lahti University of Applied Sciences, named Esa Mustonen in 2020. (Picture from: TopSpeed)
The concept car referred above is the Koenigsegg RAW which originated as a thesis project titled 'RAW by Koenigsegg' of a Finnish design student of the Lahti University of Applied Sciences, named Esa Mustonen in 2020 for the RAW Design House, a Swedish design house responsible for the four-seater Koenigsegg Gemera hypercar.

The Koenigsegg RAW is an entry-level digital supercar design concept featured with a three-seater interior layout, a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio, and under the supervision of Christian von Koenigsegg himself while was in the developing process. Although so far there has been no official confirmation whether this car would be produced, Koenigsegg RAW is certainly a very interesting entry-level supercar.
The Koenigsegg RAW concept car uses various technologies such as the FreeValve engine, which uses pneumatic valves, also combined with the camshaft, throttle bodies and timing belt in general. (Picture from: TopSpeed)
Like Koenigsegg' other concept cars, the Koenigsegg RAW also uses various technologies present in the Swedish hypercar line-up, such as the FreeValve engine, which uses pneumatic valves, also combined with the camshaft, throttle bodies and timing belt in general.
The Koenigsegg RAW concept car retains some of Koenigsegg's signature design identity. Starting from the windshield like a jet airplane, and the door that opens and rotates, the difference is that this concept car rotates it backwards. (Picture from: Autocar)
Well, the Koenigsegg RAW concept car is powered by a three-cylinder engine with a capacity of 2,000 cc which is said to be capable of producing up to 700 hp, when it combined with the car's empty weight of 700 kg, you would find a power-to-weight ratio of 1:1, the same as Koenigsegg One:1 which was made by the Swedish automaker company back in 2015.
Enter the Koenigsegg RAW' cabin, where you will find a three-seater cabin with the driver is in the middle, and two passengers sat behind in the right and left. (Picture from: CintaMobil)
If you look at its very light weight, this is possible thanks to the use of carbon fiber tube material which is commonly used as chassis on Formula 1 racing cars, where the drivetrain, suspension and body are attached to the tube.

Then if we seen the design, Koenigsegg RAW looks not excessive, with a front design that seems firm, presents a large air intake that directs the wind towards the rear of the car. The rear looks unusual, with almost no overhang which leaves the rear tire surface barely covered by the fenders.

One of the interesting details is also the very large diffuser as the wind exit from the front of the car. Of course, Koenigsegg RAW retains some of Koenigsegg's signature design identity. Starting from the windshield like a jet airplane, and the door that opens and rotates, the difference is that this concept car rotates it backwards.
Of course, the Koenigsegg RAW concept car will be an attractive choice as an entry-level supercar if Christian von Koenigsegg decides to produce this car someday. (Picture from: TopSpeed)
Enter the Koenigsegg RAW' cabin, where you will find a three-seater cabin with the driver is in the middle, and two passengers sat behind in the right and left. It said, this such seater layout provides optimal control for the driver, and as well as visibility for the passengers. Here we can see that Koenigsegg RAW is clearly inspired by the iconic hypercar of the 90s, the McLaren F1, and its successor, the McLaren Speedtail.
Well with such an eccentric design, power-to-weight ratio of 1:1, as well as a three-seater interior layout. Of course, the Koenigsegg RAW concept car will be an attractive choice as an entry-level supercar if Christian von Koenigsegg decides to produce this car someday.
