Swedish hypercar manufacturer Koenigsegg has pulled the wraps off a unique factory-restored version of its iconic Agera R, unveiling a thoroughly modernized and reengineered example that showcases the launch of its exclusive Legends Division program.
The car, a one-of-one commission, was presented on social media by company founder Christian von Koenigsegg, who described the project as “a very cool reinterpretation” of the original Agera R—a car that first launched in 2011 with 1,140 horsepower and a top speed pushing 270 mph.
While the original Agera R helped establish Koenigsegg’s performance reputation with its 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 and carbon monocoque chassis, this latest project elevates the classic model to today’s standards in both styling and functionality.
The Legends Division—an in-house skunkworks team tasked with reviving and reimagining legacy Koenigsegg models—collaborated with the marque’s official U.K. dealer SuperVettura to deliver the car. This effort, von Koenigsegg said, is part of a broader initiative to offer owners bespoke restorations that maintain historical integrity while introducing advanced technology and materials.
On the outside, the reworked Agera R features diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on all exposed metal components, paired with a deep green exterior accented in red. Inside, the transformation is more pronounced. The original cabin has been replaced with a full Alcantara interior, One:1-style carbon bucket seats, and six-point harnesses. A custom keyholder and a retro-style gauge cluster inspired by the CC850 also make their debut.
This reimagined Agera R, now with over a decade of provenance, stands as both a collector's gem and a working prototype for what’s possible through Koenigsegg’s growing in-house legacy restoration arm.
“Everything about it feels like it could’ve been built today,” von Koenigsegg said, hinting that more projects like this are already underway.
With this unveiling, Koenigsegg is not only celebrating its history—it’s rewriting it, one carbon panel at a time.
