The Agera RS is just one of those vehicles, but it happens to be the most popular.
And with good reason: the sleek, stylish supercar carries a $2.5 million price tag and boasts the title of being the fastest car currently in production.

'With the formal launch of Koenigsegg down-under in June 2018, we expect interest to gain rapid traction ahead of that car's debut at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show,' said the manufacturer.
