The development of the Agera has been evolutionary, following the Koenigsegg tradition of development, by honing and perfecting the end result, all based on previous experience. All in all, the car is created to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level both on the road and the track, still maintaining the largest luggage space in the industry and the novel Koenigsegg door and detachable/stowable hardtop.

==Development==
The Agera is as wide in the front as in the rear of the car. This gives very good balance in the corners and gives a small turning circle as there is good space for the front wheels to turn within the wheel arches.

Thanks to a large air filter, long intake runners and unique Agera, supercharger impellers, power is now {{Convert|850|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} running on regular petrol and the maximum torque of {{Convert|920|Nm|lb·ft|abbr=on}} is reached at 5000 rpm.

The electronically adjustable rear wing comes with auto setting or manual control, in order to have as little compromise as possible between low drag and downforce, depending on situation and mood.

===Specifications===

==Brakes==

The Agera also features the latest in braking technology, incorporating an adjustable ABS system, 392x36 and 380x34 ventilated and drilled ceramic discs, for unparalleled braking performance and zero fade regardless of track or road condition.

==Electronics==
The new traction control is the fastest reacting in the industry, with auto adapt functionality to different road conditions and driving styles as well as several manual settings. Furthermore, the Driver can easily select the information he wants displayed in front of him, on the all new digital dash, ranging from basic functionality, to G force meter, power meters, Sat-nav, music, lap-timer or compasses – to best suit the current driving conditions be it highway cruising, touring country roads, city navigation or serious track driving.

==Interior==

The interior features the new Agera stitching and seams, which gives an interesting fluidity to the interior. Koenigsegg has also developed a new type of interior illumination, which is a first in the car industry - the Ghost light. The illumination shines through the billet aluminium buttons and surfaces by way of invisible nanotubes, creating excellent visibility of the symbols as well as a very clean and stylish appearance, framed by an all-new carbon fibre centre console and tunnel assembly.
