Koenigsegg blames One:1 Nurburgring crash on sensor failure [Video]

The carbon monocoque chassis is intact, allowing the car to be rebuilt and eventually tackle the \'Ring once again.

Koenigsegg has released a crash report detailing a recent One:1 accident at Germany's Nurburgring Circuit.

The car experienced front axle brake lockup at nearly 106 mph on a section of track known as the Fuchsröhre. An impact with a fence at more than 68 mph caused the car to go airborne for an estimated 72 feet before landing on its left rear wheel.

The driver appears to have been unhurt, exiting the vehicle without assistance and quickly extinguishing a fire caused by carbon-fiber contact against the exhaust.

The company traced the lockup to a fault with the front left ABS wheel sensor signal. A warning light would have illuminated on the center dashboard, however it may have been difficult for the driver to see when wearing a helmet.

"Whilst the ABS warning was activated well in advance of lock-up, data analysis shows that the driver's brake application at Fuchsröhre was the first brake application in the ABS zone," the automaker notes in its report. "Hence, it was the first opportunity for the driver to notice the ABS fault through the brake pedal."

The One:1 sustained 'severe' damage to its exterior panels and subframes. Luckily, the carbon monocoque chassis is intact, both doors are fully functional and the removable roof is intact and properly aligned. Technicians are already working to rebuild the car.

For the handful of other One:1 coupes on the road, Koenigsegg promises to implement software changes that will further improve safety.

"This incident will not stop us from continuing our intensive testing at the Nürburgring, but it will halt it for some time as the team behind the effort will focus on rebuilding this car before going back again," the company added.
