All good things must come to an end. Koenigsegg's longest-lived model, the Agera, has finally (finally) ended production with the completion of the very last examples, known collectively as the Final Edition cars. Individually, they've been dubbed Thor and Vader (just because, it seems) and will be driven by their owners for the first time this weekend before being shipped to Goodwood next week for the Festival of Speed (obvs).
Eagle-eyed PHers might recall that we covered the end of Agera production in April, which gives you some idea how long it takes for everyone's favourite Swedish manufacturer to piece a car together. For what it's worth, Koenigsegg calls the Final Edition designation a 'series within a series'. The models are obviously based on the Agera RS, but were made available with all options at no additional cost to their owners, and included the bespoke aerodynamic packages.
In the case of Thor (the mostly grey car) that meant a large Le Mans-style central fin for better higgh-speed stability, and for Vader (the one with white gold highlights) there's that substantial active rear wing. Both Final Edition cars get custom-designed front winglets, enlarged spoilers to the front and the 1MW engine upgrade. For non Koenigsegg aficionados, this translates to 1-megawatt - or 1000kW, which is 1360hp, which is a lot.
Of course it's that kind of silliness which has been the Agera's calling card since its introdution in 2010. The RS model appeared in 2015, and - as you absolutely won't need reminding - it was crowned the world's fastest production car last year when a customer's car careened to a 277.9mph two-way average in the States. If there was ever any question of the hypercar's place in automotive history, that comfortably sealed it. Thus we bit if a fond farewell and look forward now to its replacement, already pencilled in for debut at next year's Geneva show.
