Koenigsegg Agera / Agera R

The Agera and Agera R are the successors to the CCX and CCXR, and are the third cars that Koenigsegg has made in production. Like the CCXR, I believe that either the Agera or the Agera R will make it onto the top ten list of most beautiful cars in history.

Just one look at these cars and your eyes can't stay away. Much different than the regular hyper cars of the world, Koenigsegg stayed away from the pointed front end. They did an excellent job at being completely different and still making a poster car for all kids growing up.

The Agera was originally supposed to have a 4.7L twin turbocharged V8, but was upgraded to a 5.0L turbocharged V8 right before production began. This engine is so well designed it puts out an astonishing 960HP. Its 0-100km/h time is an impressive 3.1s, but what is outrageous is the top speed of this speed demon. It is believed to be able to go over 410km/h but has never been tested.

The Agera R is a different type of demon all together. Producing 1140HP and reaching 0-100km/h in 2.9s, Koenigsegg really put in serious work. But those are not the best statistics, the Agera R set the world record for 0-300km/h in 14.53s, and 0-300-0km/h in 21.19s.

Lets talk price. The Agera is priced at $1.33 million and the Agera R is $1.52 million. My personal opinion, if you are already spending $1,330,000 on the Agera, you might as well spend the extra $190,000 and get the much more powerful Agera R. Who agrees?
