The second and latest episode of Drive's "Inside Koenigsegg" web series is now up online. In keeping up with the overall theme of the second season, this episode returns to showcase the 5.0-liter, V-8 engine of the powerful supercar it has ever built: the Koenigsegg One:1.

Much has been said about the One:1 and all of them has been either tinted with breathless amazement or shameless gushing. We admit to having fallen to both states at one point or another. But for all the technological wonder of the One:1, the heart of the car remains its massive V-8 engine that spits out an ungodly 1,340 horsepower and 1,011 pound-feet of torque.

Koenigsegg->ke43 founder Christian Von Koenigsegg returns to give us a rundown on the development of the One:1's engine, including his disclosure that the One:1's engine is actually an evolution of the one sitting inside the Agera R.

In order to generate that much more horsepower, Koenigsegg went and changed a number of the engine's mechanical components, including the camshafts, the springs, the valves, the injectors, the fuel pumps, and the turbochargers. And that's just the physical changes, as Koenigsegg put it. Software modifications were also done to raise the redline of the engine.

As always, it's a fascinating look inside one of the most highly regarded supercar->ke177 manufacturers in the world and how it goes about the business of continuing to raise the bar of exotic engineering.
