The Koenigsegg Agera finally bows after eight years of hypercar domination. The last two Agera models are complete, en route to their customers this weekend in Germany before heading to England for the festivities of the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018. The company has just named the last two models Thor and Väder. You can make your own Disney crossover joke.
Koenigsegg, with the blessing of the owners, calls these last two models Agera Final Edition. The Final Edition series consists of three units designated in March 2016, but the last two were completed at the Koenigsegg plant in Ängelholm, Sweden. Koenigsegg based the two cars of the Agera RS, making all options available to owners at no extra cost while including several unique aerodynamic bits.
Thor, a two-tone clear carbon with diamond flakes, features a large central Le Mans style fin for high-speed stability. The car also comes with Koenigsegg's usual assortment of active aerodynamic bits.
Thor's mate, Väder, has a traditional clear carbon finish with diamond shards and white gold leaves. At the back, there are two small wings. There is a massive rear spoiler supported by snakes that come off the roof of the cabin, with cutouts to reveal the skeletal structure of the active rear wing support. Thor and Väder are equipped with tailor-made front fins, enlarged front and rear spoilers and a 1 MW (1965 megawatt) engine. These Agera models are high-performance machines, with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 1,341 horsepower and 1,011 pounds – the feet of torque. Last year, the car earned a handful of speed records, becoming the world's fastest series car after posting an average speed of 277.9 mph over both runs. It's incredibly fast.
While Koenigsegg has finished producing the Agera, the Swedish automaker will not rest on its laurels. The company still has the Regera in production. Koenigsegg says that a replacement of the Agera line is coming, and expect to see it at the Geneva Motor Show 2019. Book these flights now.
