As many other people out there, Christian von Koenigsegg has a thing for traveling the world. Unlike the crushing majority of the population, though, he seems also to enjoy dropping a special edition of the Agera RS everywhere he goes.
The end of the hot season has seen the Swede going all out, dropping the Agera XS in the US and the gold-plated Naraya in Europe. Sticking to the continent scheme, Koenigsegg has now introduced the Agera RSR over in Japan.
We're dealing with a triumvirate here, as the three overly special editions are part of the overall 25-car production run for the Agera RS. For one thing, this means their middle section accommodated a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 delivering a neck-massaging 1,160 hp.
The "Anime" part of the title above is no joke - the three Japanese aficionados who commissioned these hypercars wanted bespoke aero details. It all starts with the One:1's top-mount wing. And this isn't just here for the added visual drama, as Angelholm explains the feature improves the efficiency of the wing at high speed.
Unlike One:1 owners, though, Agera RSR customers weren't OK with a fixed roof. Thus, the roof-mounted air scoop feeding that V8 with fresh air has been downsized. So these guys can enjoy the Rising Sun stereotype whenever they like.
"Specific input from clients was crucial to the design and specification of the Agera RSR, which were amongst the first Agera RS cars ordered and therefore pioneered aerodynamic solutions that were subsequently made available to other customized Agera RS’s," the K brand's helm man said.
All three cars feature custom touches, so, even if their owner decided to hold a Koenigsegg meet (remember the recent one in Europe), they won't hop into the wrong hypercar.
P.S.: All the geography play makes us wonder how an Australia-savvy Koenigsegg would look like. And since Koenigsegg is currently rebuilding the Nurburgring-crashed One:1 with the aim of grabbing the Porsche 918 Spyder's record, we don't see why the German hybrid's top speed Outback run wouldn't be trolled too.
