The Koenigsegg Agera is a mid-engine sports car produced by Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg. It is a successor to the CCX/CCXR. The name comes from the Swedish verb 'agera' which means "to act" or in imperative form "(You) act".
It was named Hypercar of the Year in 2010 by Top Gear magazine.{{cite web|url=http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/koenigsegg-agera-2010-12-14|title=2010 TopGear Awards: Hypercar of the Year|first=Sam|last=Philip|publisher=Top Gear|date=20 April 2011|access-date=5 September 2011|archive-date=12 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150512203845/http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/koenigsegg-agera-2010-12-14|url-status=dead}} The Agera RS variant became the world's fastest production car in 2017, setting a record with a GPS-verified two-way average top speed of {{cvt|447|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} and a fastest straight-line speed of {{cvt|458|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}.{{Cite news|url=http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/amp13303039/koenigseggs-top-speed-was-285-mph-on-the-nevada-highway/|title=Koenigsegg's Top Speed Was 285 MPH on the Nevada Highway|work=Road and Track|access-date=29 December 2017|archive-date=5 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171105155753/http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/amp13303039/koenigseggs-top-speed-was-285-mph-on-the-nevada-highway/|url-status=live}}
The Agera ceased production in July 2018 with the unveiling of the two final edition cars at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed. It was succeeded by the Jesko in 2019.{{cite web|url=https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1117627_final-koenigsegg-ageras-named-thor-and-vader#image=100658222|title=Final Koenigsegg Ageras named Thor and Vader|date=10 July 2018|author=Jeff Glucker|publisher=Motorauthority|access-date=17 July 2018|archive-date=17 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180717100305/https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1117627_final-koenigsegg-ageras-named-thor-and-vader#image=100658222|url-status=live}}

File:Geneva MotorShow 2013 - Koenigsegg Agera S Hundra motor.jpg
In early development, the car was fitted with a 4.7-litre V8 engine with fixed-vane twin-turbochargers,{{cite web|url=http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/koenigsegg-agera?imageNo=2|title=Bug catcher: Koenigsegg Agera|first=Bill|last=Thomas|work=Top Gear|date=1 December 2010|access-date=5 September 2011|archive-date=6 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150106234549/http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/koenigsegg-agera?imageNo=2|url-status=dead}} but the engine was replaced with an in-house developed 5.0-litre V8 engine and fitted with twin-turbochargers which generates a maximum power output of {{convert|706|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6,900 rpm and {{convert|1100|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4,000 rpm.{{cite web |url=http://www.automobile-catalog.com/make/koenigsegg/agera/agera/2010.html |title=Specifications, Agera |access-date=31 December 2017 |archive-date=29 December 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111229143659/http://www.automobile-catalog.com/make/koenigsegg/agera/agera/2010.html |url-status=live }} The total weight of the engine is only {{convert|197|kg|lbs|abbr=on|0}} due to a carbon fibre inlet manifold and aluminium construction. The transmission is a specially developed CIMA 7-speed dual-clutch with paddle shifters.{{Cite web |last=Hall |first=Nick |date=1 July 2011 |title=Koenigsegg Agera R First Drive |url=https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/koenigsegg-agera-r-drive/ |access-date=19 October 2022 |website=Motor Trend |language=en |archive-date=19 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221019194605/https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/koenigsegg-agera-r-drive/ |url-status=live }} It is the first dual-clutch transmission to feature only one input shaft. The second clutch slows down the input shaft during up shifts in order to reduce the time it takes to synchronise the next gear, resulting in faster shift times. Most notably, the transmission weighs only {{convert|81|kg|lbs|abbr=on|0}}.{{cite news|url=http://www.autotrends.org/2011/07/05/koenigsegg-agera-rocks-the-super-car-world/|title=Koenigsegg Agera Rocks the Super Car World|last=Card|first=Harrison|date=5 July 2011|work=Auto Trends|access-date=5 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110910074434/http://www.autotrends.org/2011/07/05/koenigsegg-agera-rocks-the-super-car-world/|archive-date=10 September 2011|url-status=dead}}

Exterior and interior
The Agera has a body made from impregnated carbon fibre/kevlar with lightweight reinforcements. The car's hardtop roof is stowable under the front hood lid. The chassis is also made out of carbon fibre with an aluminium honeycomb structure that comes with integrated fuel tanks for optimal weight distribution and safety. The rear wing is electronically adjustable with auto setting or manual control in order to have as little compromise as possible between low drag and downforce, depending on driving conditions.{{cite web|url=http://www.rsportscars.com/koenigsegg/agera/ |title=Koenigsegg Agera Price, Specs & More |publisher=RSportsCars.com |access-date=10 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007175531/http://www.rsportscars.com/koenigsegg/agera/ |archive-date= 7 October 2011 }} The Agera comes with forged aluminum wheels with centre locking nuts, measuring 19-inch on the front and 20-inch on the rear and wrapped in a set of Michelin Super Sport tyres that can be used for speeds of up to {{convert|260|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on|order=flip}}. Other notable features include the trademark "dihedral-synchro-helix-actuation" doors, a new traction control system, LED lighting, blue hood stripes that continue through the cockpit of the car and a custom interior with a new "Ghost light" lighting system, which uses carbon nanotubes in a unique configuration to shine through the car's aluminium buttons.{{cite web|url=http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/03/geneva-2010-koenigsegg-agera-celebrates-15-years-of-a-timeless-design.html|title=Geneva 2010: Koenigsegg Agera Celebrates 15 Years of a Timeless Design|publisher=Auto Guide|access-date=5 September 2011|date=3 March 2010|last=Wood|first=Colum|archive-date=17 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110817014346/http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/03/geneva-2010-koenigsegg-agera-celebrates-15-years-of-a-timeless-design.html|url-status=live}}

The Agera R made its debut at the March 2011 Geneva Motor Show with a Speed Racer livery, and special Michelin tyres. It can accelerate from {{convert|0–100|km/h|mph|abbr=on|0}} in 2.8 seconds and attain a theoretical top speed of {{convert|273|mph|km/h|abbr=on|0|order=flip}}. The Agera R has a {{Cd|link=car|long=yes|0.37}}, or {{Cd|0.33}} at high speed due to its adaptive rear wing, while producing {{convert|300|kg|abbr=on|-1}} of downforce at {{convert|250|km/h|mph|abbr=on|0}}. This adaptive rear wing system is lighter than conventional hydraulic/electrical adaptive systems, and has the unique ability to compensate for head/tailwind due to its spring-loaded design. Furthermore, the pylons holding the wing play not only a role in the Agera R's aerodynamic performance, but also assist in extracting hot air from the engine bay.
On 2 September 2011, during test sessions in Ängelholm, the Agera R broke six world land speed records for a production car, including {{convert|0–300|km/h|mph|abbr=on|0}} in 14.53 seconds, and 0–300–0 km/h in only 21.19 seconds.{{cite news|last=Korzeniewski|first=Jeremy|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/30/koenigsegg-agera-gets-official-guinness-world-record-for-quickes/|title=Koenigsegg Agera gets official Guinness World Record for quickest 0–300–0 km/h|access-date=28 April 2014|date=30 November 2011|archive-date=29 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140429195556/http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/30/koenigsegg-agera-gets-official-guinness-world-record-for-quickes/|url-status=live}}.{{cite web |title=Koenigsegg Agera R sets Guiness world record for 0–300–0 km/h |url=https://www.motor1.com/news/28811/koenigsegg-agera-r-sets-guiness-world-record-for-0-300-0-km-h-video/ |website=motor1.com |access-date=17 December 2022 |archive-date=17 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150717185855/http://www.worldcarfans.com/111113038647/koenigsegg-agera-r-sets-guiness-world-record-for-0-300-0 |url-status=live }} The braking performance required to maintain this record is enabled in part by the Agera's stability, demonstrated by Koenigsegg test driver and drivetrain technician Robert Serwanski, who was recorded by passenger Rob Ferretti (founder of the group "Super Speeders") braking from 300 km/h to 0 without holding the steering wheel.{{cite web|last=Okulski|first=Travis|title=Agera R Is Basically Idiot Proof|url=http://jalopnik.com/the-koenigsegg-agera-r-is-basically-idiot-proof-1446355926|publisher=Jalopnik|date=16 October 2013|access-date=29 April 2014|archive-date=29 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140429185045/http://jalopnik.com/the-koenigsegg-agera-r-is-basically-idiot-proof-1446355926|url-status=live}}

The 2013 version of the Agera R premiered at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Upgrades included carbon fibre wheels, enhanced aerodynamics, and engine upgrades allowing the Agera R's twin-turbo V8 engine to have a power output of {{convert|1140|PS|hp kW|abbr=on|0}} at 7,100 rpm and {{convert|1200|Nm|lbft|abbr=on|0}} of torque at 4,100 rpm on E85 biofuel.{{cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/news/koenigsegg-agera-r-drive/|title=FIRST DRIVE: KOENIGSEGG AGERA|date=1 July 2011|first=Nick|last=Hall|publisher=Motor Trend|access-date=13 September 2018|archive-date=13 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180913223615/https://www.motortrend.com/news/koenigsegg-agera-r-drive/|url-status=live}} Koenigsegg's Flex Fuel Sensor technology allows the ECU to respond to varying fuel qualities and alcohol content by reducing power levels as a means of protecting the engine. On standard low-octane fuels, power is reduced to {{convert|960|PS|kW hp|abbr=on|0}}.

Koenigsegg presented the Agera S model in 2013. Built for markets lacking E85 biofuel, the Agera S has most of the upgrades of the Agera R compared to the normal Agera including the dynamic wing, but is optimised for running on low-octane petrol generating a maximum power output of {{convert|1030|PS|kW hp|abbr=on|0}} and {{convert|1100|Nm|abbr=on|0}} of torque compared to the {{convert|960|PS|kW hp|abbr=on|0|}} and {{convert|1100|Nm|abbr=on|0}} of torque of an Agera R running on the same fuel.{{cite web|url=http://www.koenigsegg.com/models/agera-s/|title=Koenigsegg Agera S|publisher=Koenigsegg|access-date=18 October 2014|archive-date=27 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150227223614/http://www.koenigsegg.com/models/agera-s/|url-status=dead}} In 2013, one Agera S was the 100th Koenigsegg ever produced, celebrated by a specially-built car with gold leaf inlays named "Hundra" (Swedish for "one hundred").{{cite web|url=http://www.koenigsegg.com/latest-news/koenigsegg-from-0-to-100-in-10-years/ |title=Koenigsegg from 0 to 100 in 10 Years |date=10 March 2013 |publisher=Koenigsegg |access-date=10 March 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130312202033/http://www.koenigsegg.com/latest-news/koenigsegg-from-0-to-100-in-10-years/ |archive-date=12 March 2013 }}

The car is fitted with a variant of the same 5.0 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine used in the other Agera variants. It generates a maximum power output of {{convert|1360|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 7,500 rpm and {{convert|1371|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 6,000 rpm.{{cite web |url=http://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/2014/2534765/koenigsegg_one_1.html |website=automobile-catalog.com|title=2014 Koenigsegg One:1|access-date=29 June 2018}} The transmission is a 7-speed dual clutch paddle shift as used in other variants of the Agera.
The name One:1 comes from the power-to-weight ratio (1,360 PS to 1360 kg) giving the car 1 PS per 1 kg mass. The 1,360 PS power output is the equivalent of one megawatt, which Koenigsegg claims make the One:1 the 'world's first megacar'. The car is track-focused as opposed to the previous cars made by Koenigsegg, leading to changes such as limited boot space.

The Agera RS was unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, along with the prototype version of the Regera. The Agera RS is an advanced version of the Agera R, implementing some of the new technology and features of the One:1 and combining the features of the Agera R and the Agera S.{{cite web|url=http://www.gtspirit.com/2015/03/04/geneva-2015-koenigsegg-agera-rs/|title=Geneva 2015: Koenigsegg Agera RS|date=3 March 2015|publisher=GTspirit.com|access-date=3 March 2015|archive-date=6 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150306050014/http://www.gtspirit.com/2015/03/04/geneva-2015-koenigsegg-agera-rs/|url-status=live}} Koenigsegg billed it as "the ultimate track tool" due to its lightweight features and track optimised technologies. The Agera RS produces 450 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. The 5.0-litre V8 engine now has a power output of {{convert|1176|PS|kW hp|abbr=on|0}} on regular pump gasoline. The optional 1-megawatt package increases the engine's power to {{convert|1360|PS|kW hp|abbr=on|0}}. 27 units of the Agera RS were built. The model was initially going to be limited to 25 units, however two extra cars were built, one being the factory development car and one as a replacement for a customer car damaged while it was being used for shakedown testing (Agera RS Phoenix built after the crash of Agera RS Gryphon).{{cite web |title=Agera RS Production is Complete |url=https://dev.koenigsegg.com/the-last-agera-rs/ |website=Koenigsegg |access-date=5 July 2021 |date=4 April 2018 |archive-date=9 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210709182802/https://dev.koenigsegg.com/the-last-agera-rs/ |url-status=live }} Each Agera RS could be fully customised by its owner.

={{anchor|Final}}Koenigsegg Agera Final Edition (2016–2018)=
At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, a final three-car series of the Agera was announced as a final celebration of the Agera range and as the last models to wear the Agera badge. The cars could be fully customised and combined with the Agera RS chassis with the One:1 engine. The first car to be unveiled was called the 'One of One'. It featured a unique orange paint scheme with bare carbon and blue accents. The exterior of the car was complemented with a large adjustable rear wing similar to the One:1 and triple front canards along with a large front splitter.{{cite news |url=http://www.car-revs-daily.com/2016/02/29/geneva-debuts-2016-koenigsegg-agera-rs-and-agera-finale |title=Geneva Debuts – 2016 Koenigsegg AGERA RS and AGERA Finale |first=Tom |last=Burkart |work=Car-Revs-Daily |date=29 February 2016 |access-date=2 March 2016 |archive-date=6 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306201427/http://www.car-revs-daily.com/2016/02/29/geneva-debuts-2016-koenigsegg-agera-rs-and-agera-finale |url-status=live }}{{cite press release |url=http://koenigsegg.com/koenigsegg-presents-agera-rs-production-regera-and-agera-final-at-geneva-2016/ |title=Koenigsegg Presents Production Spec Regera, 'Agera Final' and Agera RS at Geneva 2016 |publisher=Koenigsegg |date=29 February 2016 |access-date=2 March 2016 |archive-date=6 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306155010/http://koenigsegg.com/koenigsegg-presents-agera-rs-production-regera-and-agera-final-at-geneva-2016/ |url-status=dead }}
The other two distinct final edition cars were unveiled online in July 2018 and were called 'Agera FE Thor' and 'Agera FE Väder' respectively. Thor features a custom two-tone black paintwork consisting of crushed diamonds and white accents. The exterior features a large rear wing reminiscent of that found on the Agera XS, and a different set of front canards, along with a large front splitter and a Le Mans-style central fin for improved downforce, setting it apart from the rest of the Agera models. Väder features the same crushed diamond paintwork with a bare carbon fibre centre along with white accents, incorporating the same rear wing as Thor but excludes the central fin. Both cars made their public appearance at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
