Koenigsegg V8 hypercar (2010-2018). Multiple variants. The Agera RS held production car top speed record at 277.9 mph.

The Koenigsegg Agera is a hypercar produced from 2010 to 2018. The Agera replaced the CCX as Koenigsegg flagship. The 5.0L twin-turbo V8 makes 940 horsepower in standard trim and up to 1,360 horsepower in the Agera RS variant on E85 fuel. Production was limited globally; total Agera production across all variants was approximately 80 cars. The Agera RS averaged 277.9 mph in 2017, holding the production car top speed record briefly. The Jesko (2019+) is the modern Koenigsegg V8 hypercar successor. On WhipJury, Agera submissions are essentially impossible due to limited production but reliably top voting if they appear.

Frequently asked questions about Koenigsegg Agera

How fast is the Agera RS?
The Agera RS averaged 277.9 mph in 2017 at the Volkswagen Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany. The car held the production car top speed record briefly. Subsequent Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ broke 300 mph in 2019.
How much does an Agera cost?
Used pricing: $1.5-3 million+. Agera RS variants are at the higher end. Pricing has appreciated significantly above original MSRPs. Limited production (around 80 cars total) supports values.
Why is Koenigsegg able to break records?
Engineering ambition. Koenigsegg develops nearly every component in-house. Christian von Koenigsegg leadership has emphasized record-breaking performance. The combination of engineering creativity and customer demand for top speed has driven Koenigsegg to challenge production car top speed records repeatedly.
Is the Agera reliable?
Generally yes. The Koenigsegg V8 has been durable. Common issues are typical for low-volume hypercars: occasional electronic concerns, scheduled service intervals. Maintenance is extremely expensive.
What replaced the Agera?
The Jesko (2019+) replaced the Agera as Koenigsegg V8 hypercar. The Jesko has been refined further with engineering improvements over the Agera platform. Two Jesko variants exist: Attack (track-focused) and Absolut (top-speed-focused).
