Koenigsegg
Agera RS
Koenigsegg
will document the assembly process, from start to finish, of a US-homologated
Agera RS, over the course of the next six months, after the owner of the
hypercar gave his permission.
This
is chassis No. 128, as Koenigsegg likes to call it, and it will be shipped to
the United States. It's an extremely important model for the Swedish brand
because it will go through a complex and expensive process of homologation,
which will make it the first street-legal RS in the US.
The
Agera RS is hand-made, just like all Koenigseggs, and it will be limited to 25
units, out of which 10 were pre-sold before the exotic ride was unveiled
earlier this year. The automaker says that four are already completed and
another six are on the production line, as we speak, keeping the Angelholm
facility booked for the next two years, along with the Regera.
The
Koenigsegg Agera RS is an evolution of the Agera R, dropping its weight by 20
kg and improving its aerodynamics with new front splitter, winglets,
side skirts, fully active rear wing, underbody flaps and hydraulic ride height
adjustment.
The
5.0-liter V8 was upgraded from 1,030 hp to 1,160 hp and this
is the same unit used by Koenigsegg in the world's first megacar too, the
One:1, but in a higher output, 1,341 hp .
