New Koenigsegg Agera RSR
With Regera, Koenigsegg’s Agera model is on its way out. But it won’t leave in a
hurry, or without a bang.
Manufactured since 2011,
the Agera constantly evolved into an ultra-exclusive, overpowered hypercar,
with the One:1 and RS variants representing the model’s climax. But it looks
like the small, independent Swedish car maker left its best for last, unveiling
the RS-based RSR as the swan-song for the line-up.
This “final variant” was
announced as a three car series at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, and each one has
been commissioned by Koenigsegg Japan. Visual-wise, the RSR comes with a
removable hardtop and with its own identity (although only Koenigsegg
aficionados would be able to tell it apart from the RS), featuring the One:1
styled roof scoop, a custom-designed venture at the rear with adjustable
winglets and the top-mounted rear wing available as standard.
The three units, finished
in turquoise blue, black and white (each with a tailor-made interior) sport the
same 5.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 that develops 1,160 hp and 1289 Nm of
torque. Initially, it was believed that the models would adopt the One:1’s
monstrous 1346 hp and 1371 Nm of torque output as standard, but it
looks like the megawatt power package remains optional.
Unsurprisingly, all three
cars have already been spoken for.
