Koenigsegg Agera S review: generations, specs, and which version to buy
Overview of the Koenigsegg Agera S coupe (2014): its single generation, the 1030 hp 5.0 V8 modification, and what the numbers say to a buyer.
The Koenigsegg Agera S is a coupe built for 2014 only, with every version delivering the same 1030 hp. It suits a driver looking for extreme straight-line performance in a rear-wheel-drive two-door: the sole modification reaches 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. With one generation, one body style, and one engine option, choosing an Agera S is less about picking a variant and more about finding one at all.
Koenigsegg Agera S generations
1 generation (2014–2014)
The first and only generation of the Koenigsegg Agera S was produced in 2014 exclusively as a coupe. The power range is flat at 1030–1030 hp, because the lineup contains exactly one modification: the 5.0 V8. That version pairs a 5032 cc eight-cylinder engine with an automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The Koenigsegg Agera S 5.0 V8 (1 generation) accelerates to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and has a rated fuel consumption of 14.7 l/100 km — a modest figure relative to its 1030 hp output. There are no alternative gearboxes, drivetrains, or body styles within the generation, so the specification sheet of any Agera S you encounter should match these numbers.
Which Koenigsegg Agera S to buy
- 5.0 V8 (1 generation): the only modification in the lineup, and its 2.9-second sprint to 100 km/h places it among the quickest-accelerating cars of its era; with 1030 hp from the 5032 cc engine, there is no lesser version to settle for.
On the used market the single-year, single-generation run works in the buyer's favor: every 2014 Koenigsegg Agera S carries the same 1030 hp automatic RWD drivetrain, so there are no weaker early builds or mid-cycle changes to check for. Verification comes down to confirming the car matches the one known specification, not comparing trim levels.
Summary
The Koenigsegg Agera S lineup is as simple as a model range gets: one generation (2014–2014), one coupe body, one 5.0 V8 modification with 1030 hp, an automatic gearbox, and rear-wheel drive. The defining numbers are 2.9 seconds to 100 km/h and 14.7 l/100 km, and since no other configuration exists, those figures describe every Agera S ever listed. Buyers deciding between versions have no decision to make — the 5.0 V8 is the range.
