While those who love to stay on the fast lane consider the CCX and CCXR as the ultimate choices for super fast sports car, Koenigsegg has gone a step further with the Agera by going for reduced power in favor of top end performance.
Koenigsegg really went all out in their latest offering. On top of the commitment in delivering a real racetrack performer, it has also hit the mark creating an exotic sports car that is also a looker on the street as well. The low-slung body configuration of the Agera and its aggressive front pose cuts a sharp silhouette that will definitely be its distinctive mark both on the track and on the road. With its unmatched weight balance and wider front track and its modified track control, the Agera is expected to be at least as swift around the track as the CCX and CCXR.

Koenigsegg had made no bones about its intention to stick to tradition in the design and development of the Agera, a closer look at this exciting speedster will easily show that there are enough tweaks here and there to make it stand out from its predecessors. This is after all what people are looking for in high-end supercars.
