For A Good Cause, Koenigsegg Agera RS Gets A Special Wrapping
by AutoExpert | 14 September, 2021
Thanks to artist James Jean, the extremely unique Koenigsegg Agera RS that established a new production vehicle top speed record in 2017 has been decorated with a distinctive livery. This wrap was created to commemorate the Festival of Children Foundation's 20th anniversary, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children by supporting the organizations that assist them.
Other organizations benefit from the Festival of Children's training, exposure, and financial assistance. The wrap was done by Wrap Legends in California.
Pomegranate, a stunning artwork by James Jean, was extended to suit the outside of the Swedish hypercar. When seen from above, the wrap shows a bare lady surrounded by vines and pomegranates in different colors of red, pink, purple, blue, and green. It's a far cry from the hypercar's original external appearance, which had a vibrant red paint with white accents and visible carbon fiber components.
This Koenigsegg Agera RS is powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 motor with Koenigsegg's optional 'One:1' power increase, which means it can produce 1,360-hp while operating on E85 ethanol. It reached an average speed of 277.87 mph (447.19 km/h) in two runs in opposing directions during the record-setting run, and a maximum speed of 284.55 mph (457.94 km/h) during the qualifying lap.
In 2019, the SSC Tuatara with a maximum speed of 282.9 mph (455.3 km/h) and the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ with a maximum speed of 304.77 mph (490.48 km/h) are the only production vehicles that can go speedier than Koenigsegg Agera RS.
