Sorry for the crap mobile pictures, but this caused a bit of disturbance at the place I work today:

I think the red tint in the pictures must be due to the crap camera in my mobile - I certainly didn't notice it IRL. Fantastic matt white paint, but not pearlescent that I could see. The car's pig ugly, but absolutely awesome and the finish appears impressive. It has the same sort of presence as a Rolls Royce Phantom.

There's no gap between the roof box and the roof, and I'm told they can't be separated. So I guess you need a spare roof for the times the roof box isn't necessary. Well hell, you can't run a Koenigsegg on a fiver either.

It's an Agera R.

What exactly do they expect you to fit in the roofbox? Table and chairs for a picnic?

I'm told there were a couple of pairs of skis in it, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they were carbon fibre "Agera R" skis in matching white matt paint too.

I wouldn't want to drive the Agera to my ski resort. 340+ rears 800+ ponies and a million pound body to smash up. Marketing department at Koenigsegg not the brightest bunch :D

Would take a Koenigsegg over a Pagani every day of the week, other than on noise appeal.

800+ ponies


If I remember correctly from my last Top Gear magazine it's 1,100+ BHP :o

In terms of desirability I'd still take an old CC8S for looks B)

Would take a Koenigsegg over a Pagani every day of the week as long as it has a nice quiet exhaust that is under 90dB.


Corrected for you Matt.

Ah, good point. Remotely switchable butterflys in the exhaust then.

A guy in my village now has one of these, plus his two Paganis, R8, Bentley, Range Rover, Ferrari GTO, 458, Mercialago etc etc etc. You often see various contents of his garage driving around. He offered my daughter his Pagani F the other day if she could start it (shes his hairdresser). Sadly she couldnt! Martin s
