Man shares staggering amount it costs to run a Koenigsegg Agera RS as he compares it to Maserati Granturismo

The clash between Koenigsegg Agera RS running costs and those of a Maserati GranTurismo shows the financial distance between hypercars and grand tourers.

The Maserati can be insured for less than £1,000 ($1,351) a year, and its servicing averages about £500 ($676).

By comparison, the Agera RS requires annual bills in the tens of thousands.

A single damaged panel on the Agera RS can cost more than buying an entire GranTurismo.

Keeping both cars on the road at a cost

This comparison was filmed by DadCars on YouTube, where the owner of the Koenigsegg Agera RS detailed the real-world costs against a Maserati GranTurismo.

The Maserati GranTurismo S carries typical premium-car expenses.

Servicing averages about £500 ($676), UK road tax is £765 ($1,034), and a full set of tyres costs just over £1,000 ($1,351).

Insurance usually stays below £1,000 ($1,351). These figures are high compared to a standard car but remain realistic for many owners.

The Koenigsegg Agera RS operates at another level, however.

A basic service costs about £10,000 ($13,514) each year.

Road tax is £190 ($257), due to low-volume registration rules.

A set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres costs between £2,500 and £3,000 ($3,379-$4,055). Insurance costs around £24,000 ($32,438) a year.

Although that is less than one percent of the car’s value, it is the equivalent of buying a used Maserati GranTurismo.

Repairs are another element of running costs. A carbon fiber wheel for the Agera RS is priced between £25,000 and £40,000 ($33,789-$54,063).

Repairs to bodywork can range from £50,000 to £100,000 ($67,578-$135,156).

Even the key comes at a premium. The Maserati GranTurismo uses a Fiat-derived unit that can be replaced for under £100 ($135), while the Koenigsegg’s crest-shaped key costs thousands.

Koenigsegg Agera RS is treated as an investment

The Maserati GranTurismo depreciates in the same way as most performance cars.

But the Koenigsegg Agera RS has moved in the opposite direction.

Bought at £3.5 million ($4.7 million), some examples now trade for more than £4 million ($5.4 million).

Paintwork shows the difference in scale. One Koenigsegg Agera RS was finished in ‘Joshua Blue’ with diamond dust in the paint, an option that added more than £200,000 ($270,325).

Respraying a single panel could cost at least £40,000 ($54,065).

The Koenigsegg Agera RS represents a level of ownership where running costs can outstrip the purchase price of a luxury car such as the Maserati GranTurismo.

The Maserati remains a capable and accessible grand tourer.

The Agera RS is a hypercar that demands vast resources but also carries the potential for long-term gains.
