The Koenigsegg Agera was the successor to the CCX/CCXR. The name comes from the Swedish verb 'agera' which means "to act". It was named Hypercar of the Year in 2010 by Top Gear magazine.

Overview
The Koenigsegg Agera was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010 and it featured a new interior, new VGR wheels, designed like turbines to extract heat from the car’s brakes. It also marked the change from twin-supercharging to twin-turbocharging. The first Ageras had a full 960hp and over 1,100Nm of torque. In 2011 the Koenigsegg Agera R was born and could run on any fuel from 95 octane pump gas to E100 biofuel.
It produced 960hp on regular 95 octane and 1,140hp on either E85 or E100. The next model on the platform was the Koenigsegg One:1, the first production car in history to feature a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio. The One:1 was the most extreme Koenigsegg ever made (to date), offering blistering acceleration along with an amazing 2g of lateral grip. Six customer cars were built, along with one factory development car. Koenigsegg used the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015 to show the new Koenigsegg Agera RS.
The Agera RS took everything that Koenigsegg learned in the development of the extreme One:1 and dialled it back – just a notch – to make a more comfortable version of Koenigsegg’s extreme road and track monster. Koenigsegg announced a grand finale for the Agera model line with a limited edition of three Agera Final models. The Agera Final edition is based on the Koenigsegg Agera RS but offered unparalleled levels of customization.

Did You Know?
One Agera S features a custom design of a ghost on the rear wing. This became a signature element for the owner and a unique, spooky touch.
The insane Koenigsegg One:1, technically an Agera variant, was named for its perfect 1-to-1 power-to-weight ratio: one horsepower for every kilogram of weight.
"If there's a more theatrical, exciting, and just plain bonkers supercar out there, I've yet to drive it."
