Confirmation of the end of production of the Agera RS was advanced by Koenigsegg itself, adding that, also the regular version of the model, is just two units away from going out of production.
As for the Koenigsegg Agera RS, it says goodbye in glory, as a result of the inscription of five records in the Guinness Book of Records. Among which, the fastest production car in the world, thanks to a top speed of 447,188 km/h . Although its creator, Christian von Koenigsegg, complains that hypersports could have gone even further; it just wasn't, due to what the founder of the Swedish brand called “risk factors”.
Not 25, but 26 Agera RS
Introduced in 2010, the Koenigsegg Agera RS was heralded as an even more radical version of the Agera, with production limited to no more than 25 units. However, the small Swedish manufacturer ended up producing one more unit to replace another one destroyed by the company's test driver following an accident at a track in Trollhattan, Sweden.
With the production of the Agera RS finished, Koenigsegg is now dedicated to fulfilling orders for the Regera, while working on a successor to the first — which, the company also guarantees, will be even more hardcore than the RS.

Successor to Agera RS already exists… virtually
According to the latest information, Koenigsegg will have even designed a virtual model of the hypersports future, which it will have shown to some customers. The objective is to make the production version known at the next Geneva Motor Show, in 2019.
With no known details, or even a name, it is only known that the future supercar will have detachable roof panels and dihedral opening doors. As, indeed, the other models of the brand.
As for the propulsion system, it will be based on a more powerful and lighter version of the well-known twin-turbo V8 that is at the genesis of Ängelholm's hypersports.
