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.
