2011 Koenigsegg Agera

Koenigsegg is celebrating 15 years of making dream cars by unleashing its latest jewel—the Koenigsegg Agera. A new supercar aimed to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level, both on the road and the track.




Agera, a Swedish verb meaning "to act,” has been chosen as the name for Koenigsegg´s latest super creation, as it symbolizes the Koenigsegg philosophy. Koenigsegg is always striving forward, seeking challenges beyond limitations. The new supercar Koenigsegg Agera is an outcome of that creative process and its functions respond very well to the given name.





The development of the Koenigsegg Agera has been evolutionary (as you can see from the car’s styling), following the Koenigsegg tradition of continuous improvements, by honing and perfecting based on previous experience and innovative mindsets. The focus when developing the Koenigsegg Agera was to maximize driving experience, cornering speed, braking, and adaptability.





The Koenigsegg Agera is a testament to time. The original shape and concept of the Koenigsegg CC, created 15 years ago, is still valid, fresh, and highly competitive today. The Koenigsegg Agera will stay true to the shape and size of the original CC. At the same time, it looks, feels, and performs like something belonging to the future.





The Koenigsegg Agera is as wide at the front as in the rear of the car. This gives very good balance in corners and minimizes body roll.





The Koenigsegg Agera also features 15.4-inch and 14.9-inch ventilated and drilled ceramic discs for unparalleled braking performance and zero-fade braking regardless of track or road condition. Thanks to optimized breathing and twin superchargers, power is now 898 hp, running on regular petrol. Torque is maximum 811 lbs.-ft. and is reached at 5,100 rpm. There is more than 737 lbs.-ft. of torque available from 2,680 to 6,100 rpm.





The new traction control is the fastest reacting in the industry, with auto adapt functionality for different road conditions and driving styles as well as several manual settings.





Koenigsegg has also developed a new type of interior illumination called Ghost light. The illumination shines through the billet aluminum buttons and surfaces by way of invisible nanotubes, creating excellent visibility of the symbols, as well as a very clean and stylish appearance, framed by an all-new carbon fiber center console and tunnel assembly.





Furthermore, the driver can easily select the information he wants displayed in front of him, on the all new multi-information cluster. The car display can range from G-force meter, power meters, satellite navigation, music, lap timer or compasses. Furthermore the interior features the new Koenigsegg Agera stitching and seams, which gives a beautiful fluidity to the interior.





All in all the Koenigsegg Agera is created to maintain Koenigsegg's position as one of the most engaging and top performing cars on the road, on the track, and on the planet. Maintaining the largest luggage space in the industry, the novel Koenigsegg doors, and detachable/stow-able hardtop really makes the Koenigsegg cars stand out when it comes time to buy a new supercar.




The Koenigsegg Agera will be produced in parallel to the Award winning CCX and CCXR models. This gives Koenigsegg the ability to live up to our customers varying wishes and demands.
