Koenigsegg Agera

The new Regera supercar wasn’t the only major announcement from Sweden’s Koenigsegg at this week’s 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The company also rolled out the Agera Final, which will be built in an exclusive series of just three cars and marks the end of the Agera line. If you recall...

Recently, we brought you news that the Agera RS supercar would be the first Koenigsegg fully homologated for sale in the United States, and that the first U.S.-spec example would bear chassis #128. Well, work on the Agera RS with chassis #128 has commenced and as promised Koenigsegg is fully...

When it comes to rare cars, you don’t get much rarer than a Koenigsegg. In almost two decades of production, just over 100 cars have been churned out of the Swedish brand’s factory and now one of them has been wrecked. The crash took place in Chongqing, China and the car involved was an...

While there are a handful of Koenigseggs already in the United States, including an uber-rare One:1, none of the cars are in full compliance with local regulations which mean they are likely here under special rules such as the infamous ‘Show or Display’ clause. That’s all set to...

Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton, after a tumultuous weekend in Monaco where he had to give up an almost certain win due to an error by his Mercedes AMG team, headed to California to let off some steam by taking part in the final leg of the 2015 Gumball 3000 rally. But Hamilton wasn’t in his...

Koenigsegg has brought a new, more potent version of its Agera supercar to the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The new version is called the “Agera RS”, and it packs a 1,160-horsepower version of the Swedish marque’s familiar twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8. That figure, Koenigsegg tells...

Koenigsegg is bringing a new, presumably more potent version of its Agera supercar to the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The new version will be called the Agera RS, and it will wear what appears to be one very large wing, based on the latest teaser sketch. We’re expecting the new Agera RS to be a...

The fastest production car around the Nürburgring, at least officially, is Porsche’s 918 Spyder, which late last year was driven around the 12.9 miles of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in just 6:57. Shortly after, McLaren stated that its P1 lapped the ‘Ring in under seven...

Testing at the Nürburgring involves certain risks: the speeds are high, the cars are in development, and the weather is highly variable, even during a single lap. Sometimes those risks are realized, often in dramatic fashion. For the 2016 Koenigsegg Agera R development prototype in these...

Unlike many of the wild supercars sold overseas that never make it to U.S. shores, Koenigsegg’s various products have made the trip, with the first example, a CCX, actually landing as far back as 2006. Koenigsegg is now further solidifying its presence in the world’s biggest market for...

Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg’s highlight for this week’s 2013 Geneva Motor Show is the new Hundra, based on the company’s latest Agera S model. The Hundra, whose name is essentially Swedish for “hundred,” is Koenigsegg’s 100th model built for a...

Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg is heading to next week’s 2013 Geneva Motor Show with a brand new supercar in tow. But the new car isn’t just another run-of-the-mill Koenigsegg, if there is such a thing, but the company’s 100th car ever built. A hundred cars may not seem...

Painting a Koenigsegg Agera R is no simple task; in fact, Koenigsegg claims the polishing process alone requires some 200 hours of labor, which is the equivalent of a single employee working for five weeks just on paint finishing. That kind of attention to detail is to be expected when building a...

JamesList, your one stop shop for all things luxury, has an extremely rare Koenigsegg Agera X supercar up for sale. Only one Agera X was ever created, and it was the first Koenigsegg to feature a matte black exterior. The previous owner is alleged to be a shareholder of legendary Porsche tuner...

Koenigsegg’s Agera R is officially on sale in the U.S., and on hand to present the car at its debut at the recent Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was the supercar manufacturer’s founder and CEO Christian von Koenigsegg. This video, filmed by the guys from Jay Leno’s Garage...

A member of the exclusive world of ‘hypercar’ manufacturers, Sweden’s Koenigsegg for years has been focused on upping the ante of its line of mid-engine exotics, with its latest offering, the Agera R, setting six new land speed records for a production car last year and then...

The Koenigsegg Agera R is the stuff supercar dreams are made of. Sure, it has the now-required carbon fiber monocoque and inboard dampers activated via pushrods, but it also has something few other supercars can claim: an output of 1,160 horsepower. We’ll admit that’s for the 2013 Agera...

Bugatti’s Veyron Super Sport may be the current land speed record holder for a production car, but it may not hold that title for long as there are at least two other supercars just around the corner that just may have what it takes to dethrone the Bugatti. One is the Jason Castriota designed...

In the world of hyperfast exotics, the automotive arms race is as hot as ever. Case in point: the 2013 Koenigsegg Agera R. With things like carbon fiber monocoques, inboard-mounted pushrod dampers, 700-plus horsepower engines, and seriously significant downforce-generating wings and bodies, the...

The same smart airbag issue that has plagued fellow supercar startup Pagani from launching its Huayra in the U.S., and caused Lotus to stop selling its Elise and Exige, has one other high-profile casualty in the form of Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg. The maker of the 1,115-horsepower...
