Earlier this week, a Koenigsegg Agera RS crashed in unusual circumstances as if a Koenigsegg could have anything other than an unusual accident. Anyhow, an unfortunate occurrence has brought about a happy ending, according to Angelholm"s premier producer of 1000bhp+ hypercars.First up, the bad news. Koenigsegg confirmed yesterday that a brand-new Agera RS had been involved in a one-car accident while testing at a private runway. The test driver had apparently lost control of the gold-encrusted Gryphon" Agera RS in wet conditions, during a shakedown run of the 1,360bhp hypercar before export to the USA. Thankfully, neither the test driver nor his passenger were injured in the accident, which caused damage to the car"s front and rear bodywork, but left the tub undamaged. Carbon fibre worth its weight in gold and some more besides once againNow, Koenigsegg has confirmed the remains of the Gryphon will live a new life at Koenigsegg itself, acting as a test bed for future models. Meanwhile, the car"s expectant owner, US real estate mogul and Instagram enthusiast Manny Khoshbin, has agreed to wait a little longer and instead take delivery of an even more extreme, more bespoke Agera RS, having received a personal apology and catch-up from Christian von Koenigsegg himself. Yet another reason he"s a TG hero goes into the book.
