Koenigsegg has displayed the latest bespoke version of the Agera RS which is
dubbed ‘Gryphon’.
Named after the mythical creature with the body and
rear legs of a lion and the head, wings and front talons of an eagle, the
Gryphon is finished in clear carbon with details out of real, 24-carat gold.
The gold leaf has been applied to the exterior for
the badging and striping, as well as the hood struts, engine badging and
interior highlights. Ettore ‘Blaster’ Callegaro, an Italian master craftsman
has also applied a gold leaf decoration to a custom made carbon fiber racing
helmet.
The cabin is a combination of black Alcantara,
polished carbon fiber and black anodized aluminum, with the seats also
featuring gold piping and a bespoke Gryphon badge.
The lucky customer opted for the
range-topping 1,360 hp twin-turbo V8 unit that also powers the One:1. Tipping
the scales at 1,395 kg with fluids, the Agera RS ‘Gryphon’ doesn’t offer the
magical 1:1 power to weight ratio but it’s so close that it deems it almost
irrelevant.
As for its final destination, the new Koenigsegg
Agera RS ‘Gryphon’ is going to live in the U.S.A.
