Koenigsegg Automotive can confirm that an Agera RS was at a track in Trollhattan, where the driver lost control in wet conditions. The car was undergoing shakedown testing, which is typical for a vehicle after the completion of manufacturing.
The testing was being performed at facilities owned by National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS). Koenigsegg is using NEVS facilities for testing, test driving and to prepare its cars for the US market, in parallel with its own testing facilities in Ängelholm.
The driver and passenger were both assessed at a local hospital and released shortly thereafter.
The vehicle’s body work is damaged but from initial inspection, there does not appear to be any structural damage, nor has any technical fault been found.

Good to hear no one was seriously injured. Cars, even Koenigseggs, can be fixed, but people are irreplaceable.
I’ll second that, gladly!
Hey Mr. Wade!
Ouch. That must not have been the best of days for the driver, passenger and you guys at Koenigsegg! But thank goodness that nothing serious has happened to the car other than it’s bodywork and more importantly, the driver and passenger. It can be hard to control a world-class hypercar, especially in wet conditions and I can sympathize with the driver for that. :/ Moreover, my sympathies to the owner who will now have to wait, seemingly a little longer for the delivery of his Koenigsegg.
But the good new is that the car has proven again, that despite it’s intimidating performance figures, it is still quite safe, as we can see from the driver and passenger getting an early release from the hospital! Not to mention the fact that there weren’t any technical malfunctions. 🙂
Hoping to see the car back on it’s wheels,

Koenigegg ( RS ) are awesome and one of the best hypercars on the planet!
But the driver makes the difference! 🙁 !
People all over Instagram are debating if the car that crashed is the Gryphon or not… please let us know!
Cars can be replaced but not the driver, glad to hear he was allright 👍 Keep up the good work Koenigsegg, best wishes from Andreas Consitt in Sweden.
Is this agerra rs the Gryphon showed last march in Geneva?
Accidents happen, but legends never stop.
That’s the Spirit of Performance!
Good to know the occupants were fine. I don’t understand how a car with such superior TCS and ECU system managed to crash. :/
With this news I learned that NEVS (ex-SAAB) track in Trollhättan is still being used by a great manufacturer. Somehow I’m glad.
At least koenigsegg is being honest. Not many car manufactures would say something like that to the public. You have everyone’s support koenigsegg, you can do it. On a further note, it’s good that no one was hurt. 😉
I would love to have those damaged/destroyed fenders for my mancave.
