Koenigsegg Agera RS – all 25 examples accounted for, 1,160 hp/1,280 Nm supercar coming to Malaysia

Koenigsegg Agera RS 1

This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but the Koenigsegg Agera RS has officially been sold out. According to the Swedish automaker, this makes it the fastest selling Koenigsegg model ever. What is a surprise is that Malaysia has been listed as one of the countries the Agera RS will be headed to.

Considering the fact that only 25 examples of the Agera RS will be made, as announced by Koenigsegg during the vehicle’s debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, that makes it incredibly rare, and probably an incredibly expensive acquisition for one fellow Malaysian.

The Agera RS is a culmination of technical know-how gained from the previous Agera R and Agera S, the latter of which was launched in Malaysia back in June 2014. It also integrates lessons learned from the “most extreme Koenigsegg” ever, the One:1.

Powered by a 5.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine that is paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Agera RS has 1,160 hp and 1,280 Nm of torque at its disposal. The 0-100 km/h time is said to take just 2.5 seconds, while the top speed is estimated to be around 402 km/h.

Furthermore, it packs more aerodynamic enhancements than the “regular” Agera S, with a dynamically active rear wing providing up to 450 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, and a new front splitter, winglets, side skirts and side air outlets.

Quite a machine then, and we can’t wait to see one on Malaysian roads in all its carbon-fibre/kevlar glory. If you’re interested to know, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE will all soon see the Agera RS on their roads as well.
