Will_ Report post Posted January 13, 2014 When did they become USA street legal? When Koenigsegg applied to have the CCX/CCXR be made legal in the States, they were allowed to import 14 cars. However, they only imported 12, so there were 2 spots left available. BCs car (#92) and this car (#99) filled those two spots, so theoretically no more Ageras can come into the states under those previous exemptions. That said, a Koenigsegg rep did say recently that the Agera S/R is entirely US legal, so maybe they got a renewed exemption or the cars have the smart airbag technology that has limited Pagani from coming in as well. That said, this car has several features specific to US regulations, such as the side indicators in front of the front tire. Also, the side mirrors are off the CCX, as they needed to be US certified as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

webster132 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 No new Ageras until they've resolved the smart airbag issue. It took Pagani ~3 years to have a go at that. Only side-door is if a buyer can someone get one of the cars in under show'n'display. But that's not that easy to do on a car that's still in active production. Maybe there are work-arounds via "special version", though. In that case, you'd be limited to 2500 miles/year (doubt most people would drive more than that in a Koenigsegg anyway!).

Why has this been such an issue for small volume manufacturers? Lotus had this issue too. I would have thought this would be a standard system that could be purchased from any one of the part OEM suppliers. BTW congrats on the car.

webster132 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 kinnsella, it's basically a rehomolgation process. Which means crashing a ton of cars again. I think Pagani had to do 22 different crash tests to get the Huayra homologated with smart airbags. Not enough to just stick them in, you have to prove that they deploy correctly. Very long, very expensive process. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

webster132 Report post Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah, I think the tub survived every crash test. But still lots of other bits and pieces they need to replace every time. I thought I heard that it was a ~$5M project. Which given that the margin per car is ~20% is a good many car's worth of profit to do!
