As the successor to the much-loved CC platform, which spawned the likes of the CCR and CCX, the Agera of 2010 marked the most comprehensive restyling effort hitherto seen by Christian von Koenigsegg’s eponymous hypercar company. Instantly recognisable by its LED-enveloped headlights and integrated taillights, the Agera boasted a potent 5-litre V-8 engine fed by a brace of turbochargers to develop approximately 950 horsepower. All of that might was delivered to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch transmission.
Just seven examples of the Agera (the name appropriately meaning both “ageless” in ancient Greek and “to take action” in Swedish) were produced before variants such as the S, R, and RS entered the picture. Among the incredibly limited pool is this uniquely specified car, which has become affectionately known to many simply as the Agera ‘X’. It was originally built in 2011 for a customer based in Germany and is most recognisable for its two-tiered, Formula 1-inspired rear wing in addition to the exposed, matte carbon fibre bodywork. While previous Koenigseggs had been presented without paint, their bodies were finished with a gloss lacquer. This car is thought to be the first completed by the factory in satin.
For the rest of the exterior, accenting red “claw” stripes on the front clamshell feature white borders to complement the pinstripes for the nine-spoke, turbine-style Vortex Generating Rims that were designed to improve brake cooling and increase downforce. The interior originally contained flashes of white leather but following a 2020 refit at the Koenigsegg factory, the cabin now comprises black leather and Alcantara with red stitching alongside the brushed aluminium switchgear. In an homage to the marque’s nationality, the colours of the Swedish flag have been incorporated into the seats.
As the “GS” logo on the side indicates, this car is associated with the “Ghost Squadron” tours that are run for Koenigsegg owners. Accordingly, the Agera is ideally suited for supercar driving and display events. Consigned to auction from a significant private collection based in Germany, the Koenigsegg showed 20,367 kilometres from new at the time of cataloguing. The car is accompanied by a TÜV certificate dated June 2023 and benefits from an October 2024 service carried out by official Koenigsegg dealership, SEMCO Motors of Munich, at a cost of €15,928 (invoice available to view on file).
More than a decade after first breaking cover, the Agera remains among the most spectacular, visceral, and fastest hypercars ever made. With examples found in very short supply, the well-known Agera offered here is ready to delight and thrill its next owner, and the many onlookers it invariably attracts.
