How to spot one

Look for

  • Doors swivel and pivot on dihedral synchro-helix hinges.18
  • Headlights have distinctive LED outlines.13
  • Vents top the front and rear fenders, with additional outlets behind the front wheels.11

Year by year

  1. 2010

    Launch Agera uses turbine-style VGR wheels.1

  2. 2011

    Agera R adds exposed carbon on the hood and bumper, front side winglets and the Aero exhaust.6

  3. 2013

    Updated Agera R gains hollow carbon-fiber Aircore wheels and a revised rear diffuser.28

  4. 2018

    Final Editions: Thor has a central roof fin; Väder wears white gold leaf over clear carbon and diamond-flaked paint.210

Don’t confuse it with

  • Koenigsegg CCX

    Agera headlights have LED outlines; early VGR turbine wheels differ from the CCX's standard telephone-dial alloys.41319

  • Koenigsegg CC8S

    The CC8S has a taller windshield despite a lower roofline than the Agera.12
