In a dazzling turn of events that’s sure to rev up the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide, a 2016 Koenigsegg Agera RSR, one of only three ever made, is set to race onto the auction stage in Dubai, courtesy of RM Sotheby’s. This ultra-exclusive vehicle, originally crafted for the Japanese market, is not just any high-speed marvel; it’s a veritable unicorn in the world of hypercars.
With a jaw-dropping price tag estimated between $2.8 and $3.4 million USD (around INR 28.18 crore), this automotive masterpiece, Chassis No. YT9ML1A21FA007123, is no ordinary find. The Agera RSR, an even rarer variant of the Agera RS — once crowned the world’s fastest production car — boasts of only 27 siblings.
What sets this black beauty with striking red accents and carbon fibre trim apart is its aerodynamic prowess, featuring a revised roof-mounted air scoop and a high-placed spoiler, echoing the design ethos of the earlier One:1 model. Under the hood roars a 5.0-litre V-8 engine, delivering a staggering 1,160 horsepower, paired seamlessly with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The odometer, almost shyly, displays a mere 993 kilometres, hinting at a life of luxury and minimal use.
Adding to its exclusivity, this Agera RSR has a notable lineage. Birthed by Koenigsegg, a name synonymous with hypercar excellence since 1994, it’s a product of continuous innovation and engineering mastery. The Agera, post its 2010 debut, quickly became a sensation, clinching the title of Hypercar of the Year by Top Gear magazine in the same year. The Agera RSR itself is an evolution, following the footsteps of the Agera R, Agera S, and the One:1, each iteration surpassing its predecessor in speed and design.
This particular model, with its dark, menacing profile and an interior that’s a blend of luxury and sportiness with black leather and carbon fibre, was initially delivered to a sole owner in Japan. It arrives at the Dubai auction complete with its factory-provided accessories, including a torch, tyre pressure gauge, and warning triangle, not to mention its owner’s manual folio.
The Koenigsegg Agera RSR isn’t just a car; it’s a statement on wheels, a testament to 30 years of surpassing the limits in hypercar production. Its rarity, performance, and lineage make it a collector’s dream, promising to turn heads and set pulses racing wherever it goes. The Dubai auction awaits what’s sure to be a fiercely contested bid for this epitome of speed and luxury.
