Koenigsegg’s 1,160-Horsepower Agera RS Coming to the U.S. in Very Limited Numbers

Koenigsegg has made waves in the supercar world by producing its land-speed-record-breaking cars. Now followers of the Swedish manufacturer can own a street-legal Koenigsegg Agera RS in the United States.

But they’ll have to hurry. Only 25 will be created for the U.S. market, and 10 of those have already been swooped up.

The ultra-lightweight Agera RS is made completely out of carbon fiber and Kevlar; even the wheels are made out of carbon fiber. But the real inspiration comes from the twin-turbo 5-liter V8 engine that packs 1,160 horsepower and 944 pound-feet of torque controlled by a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters.

The newest road-ready Koenigsegg has a zero-to-60 time of 2.5 seconds and it is estimated that it will top out at 250 mph. This speed comes with a hefty price tag, though none has been released. It is expected an Agera RS will cost about $2 million.
