It"s been just over two weeks since we saw the special edition Koenigsegg Agera XS - the first Agera RS to be homologated for the US - and now we see the first Agera RS headed to Europe. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Koenigsegg Agera RS Naraya".The moniker is a name closely associated with the owner"s family, and the car features quite a unique personalisation scheme. First up, you"ll spot the clear blue carbon finish across the Agera RS"s flanks, and carried over to the carbon fibre tub too - the first time a Koenigsegg tub has matched the colour of the exterior. Then, there is gold.And it"s here where things get interesting - monster twin-turbo V8 engine aside, of course. The golf leaf highlights were applied by hand by a chap named Ettore Blaster" Callegaro; a man renown in Italy for his craftsmanship. It took Ettore, working out of Koenigsegg"s factory in Sweden, two weeks, working 12-hour days, six days a week. It"s applied to the glued surface of the panel, and then turned" by hand using a very small tool. It"s then finished with a few coats of clear paint, to prevent scratches.
