The Brand New Koenigsegg Agera RSR Is The Last Of Its Breed

With the introduction of the 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 (950 lb-ft) of torque. Initially, it was believed that the models would adopt the One:1’s monstrous 1346 hp and 1371 Nm (1,011 lb-ft) of torque output as standard, but it looks like the megawatt power package remains optional. Not a bad way to exit the spotlight, don’t you think? 

Unsurprisingly, all three cars have already been spoken for.
