Default This Is The New Koenigsegg Agera RS: First Pictures From The Geneva Stand

Geneva Motor Show has started welcoming its first guests and they seem to have caught the Koenigsegg Agera RS unattended on the Swedish brand’s stand.

As we can see from the pictures -likely sourced from Twitter- the Agera RS has an updated aero-kit, that resembles a lot to its big brother, the One:1. Finished in clear carbon with orange details, the striking Koenigsegg will try to keep some of the attention tomorrow on it, next to its brother, the upcoming hybrid behemoth called Regera that also debuts tomorrow.

The latest addition to the Agera’s lineup is going to replace apparently the Agera R with Koenigsegg releasing another teaser on its Facebook page.

“With focus on track attitude, the RS utilizes advanced technology from the One:1 program while maintaining all the features and functionalities of previous S and R models, and beholds the Agera’s everyday usability.”

We'll update you as soon as we have more details.

Default Koenigsegg Agera RS caught on camera in Geneva, will have 1,160 HP [video]


Is 40 kg lighter than the Agera R

Through thus video you can take a first look at the Koenigsegg Agera RS that is making its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Swedish supercar features a full carbon fiber body sharing some of the aerodynamic details with the One:1 megacar. The front bumper is slightly redesigned, while on the sides there’s a new small fin at the bottom of the side sills. At the back the manufacturer has installed a new rear wing with new end plates.

Power comes from a modified 5.0-liter biturbo unit with 1,160 HP (853 kW) at 7,800 rpm and a peak torque of 1,280 Nm (945 lb-ft) at 4,100 rpm. The machine weights 1,395 kg (3,075 lbs), which is 40 kg (88 lbs) less than the Agera R and 35 kg (77 lbs) more than the One:1. The Agera RS will reportedly generate a maximum downforce of 485 kg at 200 km/h – 185 kg more than the Agera R.

Default Koenigsegg Agera RS in Static Geneva Video Preview; We See the Regera’s Pedals too






If you’re itching for more information from Koenigsegg’s Geneva stand, well, we have something for you. It’s a collection of videos mostly focusing on the new Agera RS, but also one that shows the new (beautifully made) pedals that the other debut, the Regera hybrid, will use.

There’s not a lot to be said abut the Agera RS, as it’s pretty straightforward to explain what it is – it’s even in the name. It’s a step up from the Agera R that’s currently on sale and, by the looks of it, it uses bits from the flagship One:1.

As previously mentioned, one of the videos posted below, courtesy of GT Board, shows off the milled aluminum pedals that are going into the Regera.
