Koenigsegg Agera XS – We bet only a few of you heard of Koenigsegg and most of you are probably thinking this is a manufacturer from third-world countries. However, this company produces probably the highest-performance cars in the world. It actually comes from a small town in the south of Sweden. The founder and owner, Christian von Koenigsegg, was dreaming to manufacture his own supercars. Although the company was founded in 1994, they managed to produce street-legal car eight years later. Their cars have become street-legal in many countries since then and they won several notable awards.

Today we will focus on only one model which is fast, exceptional and breathtaking.
KOENIGSEGG AGERA XS REVIEW
Koenigsegg Agera XS is a custom-made vehicle presented at Monterey Car Week. It takes after One:1 but it offers much more than the previous model. However, XS come with standard problems for Koenigsegg. Although the Swedish automaker manufactures top-notch cars they usually don’t meet all emission and safety standards. Apparently, XS will be street-legal in the U.S. since it is made for a U.S. customer but the question is whether it is going to be street-legal in neighboring countries. It comes with state-of-the-art design and cutting-edge technology and all of us would like to have one parked in our garage.

Center stripe is actually made from carbon and there are few more things made from this material. Thanks to revised front bumper and front splitter it has an aerodynamic look. The rear wing is the largest one coming from the Swedish automaker. Everything else on the outside should resemble the RS.
