RESIN vs DIECAST – Can you spot the differences? – Koenigsegg Featurette
Spoilt for choice: Do you still remember the Agera R? It wasn’t even that long ago that Koenigsegg unveiled its flagship model. At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the Agera R turned the eyes of horsepower fans and even took the crown as the most powerful super sports car at the show. We’ve been there live in 2011 and were absolutely thrilled by the latest creation from Christian von Koenigsegg 14 years ago. The design of the Agera R has remained absolutely timeless.
