Interpol hunts for stolen Koenigsegg Agera One:1 owned by Adrian Sutil as Monaco case expands – A rare Koenigsegg Agera One:1, owned by former Formula 1 driver Adrian Sutil, has been reported stolen in Monaco, prompting an investigation by Interpol.
First reported in January 2026, the disappearance comes amid a wider legal and financial scandal surrounding Sutil’s luxury car collection. Multiple high-value vehicles are already missing, and there are allegations of coercion linked to the Wagner Group.
What initially appeared to be a straightforward theft has rapidly evolved into a complex, cross-border case involving fraud investigations, disputed ownership claims and a global manhunt for one of the world’s rarest hypercars.

Theft emerges amid wider legal investigation
The case centres on Sutil, a former Formula 1 driver who competed between 2007 and 2014, and who later became known for his extensive collection of high-end vehicles. In recent months, this collection has attracted the attention of the German authorities, who have been investigating alleged financial irregularities relating to the acquisition and financing of the cars.
According to reports from Auto, Motor und Sport and Road & Track, Sutil has been in pre-trial detention in Germany since November 2023. Prosecutors suspect fraud and embezzlement relating to the funding of his collection, and authorities have already seized around 20 vehicles stored in Germany, Switzerland and Monaco.
It is within this already volatile context that the Agera One:1 was reported missing. The hypercar was reportedly stored in a Monaco garage at the time of its disappearance, further complicating an investigation that already spans multiple jurisdictions.
Disappearance of multiple luxury cars raises stakes
The missing Koenigsegg is not an isolated case. In December 2025, a complaint was filed with the Stuttgart public prosecutor’s office stating that nine additional luxury vehicles, with an estimated combined value of around €17 million, had also vanished from the Sutil family’s Monaco garage.
The reported missing cars include a Koenigsegg Regera, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, several high-end Ferraris and Porsches, and even a Mercedes-Benz 600 once owned by Elvis Presley.
The circumstances surrounding their disappearance remain disputed. According to Sutil’s legal representative, Dirk Schmitz, the vehicles were handed over under pressure from individuals allegedly linked to the Wagner Group, the Russian goverment backed mercinary group.
Speaking to Auto, Motor und Sport, Schmitz said: “The message was clear: hand over the cars, or else.”
Sutil’s family maintains that the transfer of the cars was carried out under duress. However, German investigators are still working to establish whether the events constitute theft, coercion or are part of a broader financial dispute.
A hypercar of extreme rarity and value
The focus of the investigation has quickly narrowed to the Agera One:1 due to its extraordinary rarity and value. Built by Koenigsegg between 2014 and 2015, only seven examples of the model were ever produced.
The car is named after its defining engineering concept: a one-to-one power-to-weight ratio. With an output of around 1,360 horsepower and a weight of approximately the same, the Agera One:1 was one of the most advanced performance cars of its time.
Sutil’s specific car is particularly distinctive. Identified in specialist media as chassis #7107, it features exposed carbon fibre bodywork in a black finish with highly recognisable bright pink accents often described as ‘China Pink’. This unique specification makes the vehicle instantly identifiable and would make it difficult to sell or disguise.
Originally purchased for around €3.3 million, the car’s value has surged in recent years. Depending on condition and provenance, estimates now range from over $10 million to as much as $22 million. Therefore, its disappearance represents not only a criminal case, but also the loss of a highly significant collector’s asset.
Interpol-led manhunt and limited escape routes
Given the car’s rarity and value, the authorities have escalated their response. Interpol has reportedly issued an international alert and is coordinating efforts with Germany’s Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Police Office and the Stuttgart public prosecutor’s office.
Investigators believe the vehicle may already have been moved outside Monaco, potentially hidden elsewhere in Europe or even further afield. However, the unique nature of the Agera One:1 significantly limits the options available to those in possession of it.
Unlike more common luxury vehicles, a hypercar produced in such limited numbers is extremely difficult to sell through legitimate channels. Its distinctive design and well-documented ownership history mean that any attempt to reintroduce it to the public market would likely be quickly detected.
This has led to speculation that the car could remain hidden for an extended period, possibly in a private collection, or that it could be dismantled for parts, although the latter would drastically reduce its value.
A global mystery
Luxury cars, particularly rare hypercars, are increasingly being used as investment vehicles, with values often reaching into the tens of millions. This makes them attractive not only to collectors, but also to criminal networks and individuals seeking to move or conceal wealth.
The involvement of Interpol underscores the international dimension of such cases. With assets often spread across multiple countries and ownership structures frequently involving complex financing arrangements, investigations can quickly become highly intricate. While the authorities continue to examine the financial aspects of his collection, the search for the missing Agera One:1 has become one of the most unusual and high-profile automotive investigations in recent years.
Whether the car will be recovered remains uncertain. For now, it is one of the world’s most valuable missing vehicles — a hypercar turned into a global mystery.
