April 11, 2017 – Ängelholm, Sweden
Koenigsegg Automotive AB is pleased to premiere the Koenigsegg Agera RS – dubbed ‘RS1’ – at the 2017 New York Auto Show.
The RS1 is the latest addition to Koenigsegg Automotive’s growing US-based family.
The Agera RS on exhibition in New York was specifically named as RS1 by its owner, who, along with his son, has been intensively involved in the entire specification and build process.
The RS1 is finished in Arctic White with highlights in a specially selected shade of blue on the front winglets, side skirts, diffuser and rear wing.
The interior is finished in striking blue alcantara with contrasting polished carbon fibre and black anodized aluminum.
The RS1 is powered by Koenigsegg’s own twin-turbocharged 5.0l V8 engine. Developed and hand-built in Ängelholm, Sweden, this powerplant produces 1,360hp and 1,011 lb ft of torque in its 1MW variant.
Power is directed to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission with output governed by Koenigsegg’s own traction and stability control systems, which are fully developed in-house along with all engine management and active systems software.
The Agera RS1 has prodigious power, yet weighs just 3,075 lbs with all fluids and ready to drive (2,845 lbs dry weight). This extraordinary power-to-weight ratio allows the car to accelerate from 0-62mph (100km/h) in 2.8 seconds and on to 186mph (300 km/h) in 12.3 seconds. The car is also capable of cornering at up to 1.8G thanks to Koenigsegg’s unique elongated front and rear double wishbone suspension, active damping and advanced aerodynamics.
This light weight is all the more remarkable considering that the Agera RS includes all modern electronic aides and comforts – climate control, satellite navigation, Bluetooth integration, digital entertainment system, electric carbon fibre sports seats, fully adjustable pedals, hydraulic lifting system to aid vehicle clearance, alarm, tire pressure monitoring, fully digitized information and warning systems, among others.
As with all Koenigseggs, the roof is removable for instant open-top driving with no compromise in chassis stiffness or performance. The roof is light in weight and can be stowed in the luggage compartment under the front hood of the car.
The RS1 is the latest in an exclusive series of just 25 Koenigsegg Agera RS vehicles, only a handful of which will ever been seen on American roads. The series was fully subscribed as of January 2016.

This car looks incredible. I can’t wait to see it at the 2017 NY Auto Show. Is the car going to be at the auto show till April 23? I missed the Regera by one day last year.
Very beautiful car! I am without words ; I hope to be able to drive at least once in life.. a dream!
kill it! goddammit
Amazing! If you are going to drive it, please take me with you.
Stunning car, looks amazing.😍 Love the color combinations and the interior is a dream .
Monte uma koenicsegg. No brasil com motor 1.6 400cv que vamos ser felizes,
E. Me chame pra. Trabalhar com vcs.
Félicitations à toute l’équipe Koenigsseg pour leur nouveau chef-d’œuvre et nous souhaitons à @whitessejr et @whitesse beaucoup de plaisir à bord de celui-ci !
hi how many RS made for US??
25 made and Prototype included?
Yes, but not all of the 25 RS’es are for the U.S. I estimate 3 of them have either been delivered to, or are for the U.S.[XS, Gryphon, RS1]
Brilliant as usual with Koenigsegg’s 😍
Another masterpiece ready for action.
I love koenigsegg I will work koenigsegg showroom I will drive to that’s nice ride it is exotic car
What a stunning car ! And Amazing pictures.
Awesome!
Hello I am a fan of koenigsegg. The new agera rs1 is beautiful , the color is very pretty but why the 0 to 100 is done in 2.8 s while the new dodge in 2.3 s? I will be curious to know why! Thank you
Damn i guess i missed out. i was waiting so long to see this car.
A new Koenigsegg cant wait to get another Koenigsegg in my dream 💖 #Koenigsegg_AgeraRS1
When will we get another installment of the build of chassis 128? It has been many many months since the last post on that car!
Another special edition from the Agera RS,Koenigsegg is always full of surprises.
0-300 km per hour in 12.3 seconds? Why that number? One:1 does it in 11.9 seconds only with the same power and weight specifications….
That’s an amazing looking car! An Agera with One:1 technology, and with all modern luxury features as well?
Koenigsegg is truly a legendary innovator, to be able to come up with all these amazing improvements!
Cheers,
KR
I love this cars…they are low an a lot of power…so wish that one day I can see an all wheel drive koenigsegg😶…you are the best Christian.
Hey guys,
I live in South Africa, saw this post and thought why not.
Im a pro detailer and have been doing this passionately for the last 7 years unfortunately part time.
Ive worked on some incredible motor vehicles from around the globe.
Take care.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More details on the powertrain control, the traction control etc. Do you as is normallydone reduce efficiency by retarding and leaning of by more smarter like one can do on hybrid, harvest the excess per into energy storage. Maybe a physics engine calculate the maximum grip force and only operates engine up to that level. I’m developing motorbike management for a mild hybrid single cylinder dual crankshaft jet ignition variable Bishop valve engine with Sensata cylinder pressure sensor for full closed loop engine management using physics engine on 700 Gigaflop SoC. Hybrid energy storage using Graphene super capitor& Li-ion. Lots of Australian Innovations Jet ignition and variable Bishop valve. Hybrid gives you flexibility so many options with strategy, higher load on ICE gives greater efficiency, can harvest the excess, effectively free energy. Torsional and vibrational reduction.
