The Koenigsegg Agera RS made history in 2017 when it set the world record for the highest top speed by a production car, reaching an average of 277.9 mph (447.2 km/h) on a closed Nevada highway. What made the achievement so impressive was that it wasn’t a factory-prepped prototype – the car belonged to a customer and used regular road tires. Driven by Koenigsegg’s test driver Niklas Lilja, the Agera RS proved that the brand’s engineering wasn’t just theoretical but could perform reliably in real-world conditions.
From a reviewer’s perspective, the Agera RS combines extreme performance with surprising refinement. Its 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 produces over 1,100 horsepower, yet the car remains remarkably stable and composed, even at high speed. It’s not just about breaking records—it’s about how effortlessly the car does it. The Agera RS feels like the point where engineering precision meets raw power, showing what’s possible when everything is focused on performance without excess drama.
The GT Spirit Koenigsegg Agera RS – World Record edition is easily one of the brand’s stronger efforts in recent memory. The proportions and stance are spot-on, giving the model an authentic presence right out of the box. The striking paint finish—a highlight in itself – perfectly captures the car’s distinctive character and elevates the overall presentation. While GT Spirit models are known for skipping the carbon-fibre detailing, that omission doesn’t take away from the visual impact here. The finish and form more than make up for it.
Perforated grilles are smartly integrated across key areas, adding a touch of realism and sophistication without pushing the price into the premium territory of higher-end brands. Inside, GT Spirit maintains the momentum with a well-executed cabin: the dashboard, centre console, and seats are cleanly defined and convincingly sculpted. For collectors seeking a meaningful piece of Koenigsegg history in scale, this Agera RS World Record edition is a worthy addition—visually striking, well-balanced, and unmistakably GT Spirit. Enjoy the pics!
