In a sea of supercars all over the world, Koenigsegg’s new One:1 has been dubbed as the world’s most powerful production car. It was launched in March at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, however, only a mock-up was shown in the auto exhibit. The prototype is still at works, which the public will see in action — for the first time — at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K. next month.

As Cars UK points out, Koenigsegg will bring not just its One:1 mock-up, but also a working prototype. We also hear that the prototype will be taking part in the Goodwood festival’s Michelin Supercar Run, meaning we should get a good taste of the car’s insane performance level. Organized by the French tire company, the Michelin Supercar Run is a firm favorite of the Goodwood Festival of Speed as it sees the hottest and coolest supercars show off their sheer tire-smoking power.

And just in case you aren’t fully up to date on the One:1’s specs, its power maxes out at an incredible 1,341 horsepower. Torque, meanwhile, is 1,011 pound-feet. And considering the One:1 will weigh 1,360 (2,998 lbs) kilograms or less, it’s easy to understand why Koenigsegg is confident the One:1 will set a new land speed record for a production car. Sadly, only six of these babies will be built—and all are spoken for.
