Default Koenigsegg Agera FE (Final Edition)

Koenigsegg Agera FE coupes are named Thor and Väder

The Agera replacement will be at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show

Though the Agera line sold out a while ago,*Koenigsegg*has finally built the last examples of the*supercar. They are Koenigsegg Agera FEs, for "Final Edition," and each has a name. One is named Thor, and one is called Väder. Each sports its name in badging where the normal model name is usually placed.

Being FE versions, each car is a little more special than the "typical" Agera model. Apparently the owners didn't have to pay anything extra for options and development of unique parts. Among those unique parts are larger front spoilers and rear wings. Thor has a dorsal fin and Väder has some unique cutouts in the wing supports to show off the components that actuate the active wing. Thor's finish is a two-tone with some of it in a plain clear carbon fiber finish, and some of it in a clear finish with "diamond-flake." Väder has the diamond-flake finish over the entire car along with white gold leaf accents across the body. Both cars also feature the 1,360-horsepower twin-turbo V8 from the One:1.

With the final Agera, and the final Regera built, Koenigsegg doesn't have any models on sale. But that's a temporary situation that will be rectified soon. The company announced that the Agera's successor will be revealed at the 2019*Geneva Motor Show.*

Stunning cars!!!! I also love how Koeenseegg designs and builds his own engines. That's kind of unheard of in this niche, even the McLaren F1 used a BMW V12.

i can't help but be a little bit pedantic here... but although koenigsegg now makes their own engines, the original CC and CC8 used a ford engine, and mclaren now use their own engines as well in things like the P1. considering the circumstances though i'd say koenigsegg making its own engines is probably a bigger accomplishment considering the vast resources of mclaren. the F1 and koenigsegg are two of my favorites, right up there with the zonda f which is another huge achievement.

F1 always has to stay at #1 for me though, nothing like that can ever be built again. to put a car that weighs barely over 2500 lbs with a 630 hp V12, only rwd, no airbags, no abs, and no traction or stability control whatsoever on sale today just couldn't happen. a modern camry has a power to weight ratio of only 1/5 the mclaren but has 10 more airbags lol... and a whole myriad of standard electronic safety programs.

The F1 is still stunning and a forever legend. The leaps in performance compared to it's competitors at the time was like nothing ever before seen.
Although, the hypercars of today may not have quite the same leap in today's world, their performance are just simply stunning (Koenigsegg Agera and Regera / Mclaren P1,Senna, 720s)

Side note about Mclaren Engines.. They still don't make their own engines, today they are supplied by Ricardo in all their range and in Formula 1 use Renault power units.
At the time of the F1 supercar, Mclaren were racing with Honda but Gordon Murray wanted to use a V12 and Honda did not make one and I believe not willing to build a one off one for the F1 project, so they turned to BMW. The rest is history as far as the F1 goes.
