A Koenigsegg is the very definition of a bespoke hypercar. Nearly every component is designed, engineered and built in-house by the Koenigsegg team in Sweden to fulfil one purpose: delivering performance unlike anything else on the road. In 2015, at the Geneva Motor Show, Koenigsegg revealed its latest performance innovations in the form of the Agera RS; a 1160bhp evolution of the Agera R and Agera S. With dynamic underbody aero, an active rear spoiler and various Koenigsegg weight-saving innovations – including its hollow full carbon fibre AIRCORE wheels – the RS is brutally fast. In 2017, it set a two-way average top speed world record of 278mph and smashed the Bugatti Chiron’s 0-250mph-0 record, with a time of 36.44 seconds. The cars that set both of those records were fitted with the optional ‘1-Megawatt’ package – a $270,000 optional extra that increased power from the Koenigsegg-designed twin-turbo V8 from 1160bhp to 1341bhp. Owners describe the Agera RS as an enormously raw and capable performance car. Where something like a Bugatti Chiron delivers a refined experience under normal driving, the RS never hides its enormous potential. The noise of the engine dominates the cabin, the steering always feels alive and any subtle press of the throttle pedal is an immediate reminder of the ferocious performance available. Constructed with a number of Koenigsegg proprietary technologies, including a full carbon fibre tub, Triplex suspension – utilising an innovative third damper – and Z-shaped anti-roll bars (about a fifth of the weight of a normal unit) the Agera RS is usable on the road and devastatingly fast on-track. In fact, a 3G-connected pre-active suspension set-up can even download active suspension settings for some of the most famous circuits in the world, reacting to each corner in turn to deliver the best possible performance. This Motorcar We are delighted to offer this car on an off-market basis, as always on a principal to principal basis. The car pictured is not the car in question.

The Koenigsegg Agera is a Swedish hypercar that redefined the boundaries of performance, luxury, and innovation in the automotive world. Launched in 2010 by Koenigsegg Automotive AB, the Agera (meaning "to act" in Swedish) marked a new chapter for the brand, succeeding the iconic Koenigsegg CCX. Its sleek design, coupled with unparalleled engineering, quickly established the Agera as a benchmark in the hypercar segment. At the heart of the Agera is a mid-mounted 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, designed and built in-house by Koenigsegg. This powerplant produces a staggering output of 947 horsepower and 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) of torque in its base form, with more extreme variants like the Agera RS and Agera Final pushing those figures even higher. Paired with a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the Agera achieves a top speed of over 400 km/h (249 mph), cementing its place among the fastest production cars of its time. One of the Agera’s standout features is its pioneering use of lightweight materials and advanced aerodynamics. The carbon-fiber body, complemented by an active rear spoiler and advanced underbody aerodynamics, optimizes downforce while minimizing drag. This balance ensures exceptional high-speed stability and cornering performance. Additionally, the innovative “Aircore” hollow carbon-fiber wheels further reduce weight without compromising strength. Inside, the Agera combines luxury with functionality. The cabin features premium leather, carbon-fiber accents, and a minimalist design focused on the driver’s experience. Despite its hypercar status, it provides comfort and practicality, with removable roof panels that can be stored in the car. The Agera’s legacy is marked by several record-breaking feats, including the Agera RS setting a world record in 2017 for the highest average speed over two runs (447.19 km/h or 277.87 mph). This achievement further showcased Koenigsegg’s relentless pursuit of performance and innovation. Production of the Agera ended in 2018, making way for successors like the Jesko, but its impact on the automotive world remains profound.
