Here's your chance to own this one-of-one Koenigsegg Agera RS
This is the case with this one-of-one 2018 Koenigsegg Agera RS 'Phoenix," originally commissioned for well-known entrepreneur and collector Manny Khoshbin to replace his previous one-of-one Koenigsegg commission.What sets this special edition apart from the others is its fully exposed carbon fiber body, 24-carat gold accents hand-applied by Italian master craftsman Ettore Callegaro, bespoke rear wing, and a plethora of other aero parts. The cabin sports plenty of Alcantara carbon fiber trim and more gold detailing to remind you of the exterior. The dashboard also features an embroidered "Phoenix" badge in the same font as the ones on the body.
Phoenix also features the optional 1-megawatt package, which increases the horsepower figure of its 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 from 1,160 to 1,341. All of those horses scream through a 7-speed automatic transmission and a custom Ryft exhaust system, announcing your presence long before anyone actually sees you.
You might be drooling, and so are we, but wait until you see the price tag. This Agera RS is being offered for sale by Vegas Auto Gallery for $4,999,999, so at least it's not $5 million. That's a hefty price tag, and it's likely that whoever can afford this has a few other cars like it in their garage.
Manny later sold it for $4.1 million before that owner then listed it for sale through Pagani Beverly Hills for an undisclosed price. It should be noted that Manny initially wanted $5 million for it, but the value of such a unique masterpiece has likely appreciated since 2018.It's one thing to own a Koenigsegg Agera RS since only 27 units were ever produced, but owning a one-of-one Agera RS is an entirely different kind of flex. As one might expect, the odometer only shows 2,794 miles, so this car has not exactly been driven as much as Christian von Koenigsegg would probably want.
It's likely that Phoenix will end up in the hands of a collector, and we can only cross our fingers that they will give it the road time it deserves. After all, what's the point of buying a 1,341 hp hypercar if you don't experience that kind of power semi-frequently?

Waymo's robotaxis add better beats to the backseat
Passengers taking a ride inside Waymo's robotaxis can now connect their Spotify account to the vehicle's music system for a more personalized listening experience. The partnership, unveiled this week with the help of American rapper Saweetie, is sure to be warmly welcomed by Spotify users who ride Waymo robotaxis in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, where the feature is currently available. .@Saweetie says #boffum, and we think so, too. 🎶💖 @Spotify is now integrated with the Waymo app. Connect your accounts and vibe today. Learn more: — Waymo (@Waymo) August 12, 2025 The new option means passengers can now easily link their Spotify accounts to listen to their favorite music or podcasts during rides, making the backseat experience more enjoyable and relaxing. Recommended Videos For the one-time setup, all you do is open the Waymo app (make sure you have the latest version) on your phone, go to Account, and select Music. Next, tap on Spotify to connect, and you'll be prompted to log in to your Spotify account. Finally, follow the on-screen instructions to allow your Waymo and Spotify accounts to connect. Now, when you take your next Waymo ride, tap Spotify from the menu that slides out from the right on the in-car display. Scan the QR code, follow the steps on your phone, and simply select what you want to listen to. A nice touch is that you can use an equalizer to fine-tune the sound coming through the robotaxi's speakers. To find it, open the Waymo app and go to Account, then Music and Adjust audio settings. You can also access the equalizer through the Settings icon at the bottom right of the 'now playing' screen. Your Spotify account will remain connected for future Waymo rides, though should you ever want to disconnect it, you can do so in a few taps via Settings in your Waymo account. Be assured, too, that your music selection will automatically stop playing at the end of your trip, with the system resetting for the next rider. For now, users of other popular music streaming services such as Apple Music and Amazon Music will have to continue with Waymo's limited in‑car audio options, or rely on a clunky workaround — via Google Assistant or casting through multiple apps — to access additional music content. If that sounds like a lot of messing around, then just stick your earphones in.

Down to Business: Make a good sandwich, keep customers happy, pay the bills — secret to Johnny's Red Hots
Business: Johnny's Red Hots Address: 4931 S. Route 59, Naperville Phone/website: 630-904-2800; Owner: John Vourtsis, 59, of Naperville Years in business: 16 What does your business do? 'We've got a lot of good homemade dishes. Italian beef. Homemade red sauces. The halal gyros are fantastic. … Our burgers are tremendous. We've got great Italian ice. Meal deals too,' Vourtsis said. What got you started? 'I've been in this business since I was 13 years old. I opened up my own place when I was 20 with a partner in Cicero. It was called Lucky Dog. The one on Roosevelt Road, we opened up in 1986. It's still there. I sold my share off in 2008 and came here. … You remember Kings & Queens on Roosevelt Road (in Berwyn)? I worked there as a kid.' Why open up here? 'Because I live out here. We had a (business) divorce you could say. I said I had enough.' How's business? 'Sixteen years later? Pretty good. It takes time for everything, though. You've got to build it up by being here every day and kissing (up) and making sure things are done right.' Why call it Johnny's Red Hots? 'Red hots are just another name for hot dogs. My wife wanted me to use our kids' names, but I don't know.' How long are you here each day? 'I get here early, 6:30, quarter to 7. If I can leave in the evenings, I'm probably here till 5 or 5:30 p.m.' When are you open? '10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. … I still get here at the same time, but I try to get out of here at 2 or 3 on Sundays. We used to be open till 9 on Sundays. In December 2020, I started closing at 6 o'clock. To be honest with you, business is the same if not better closing at 6 o'clock.' Do you ever take time off? 'I'll take off three or four days and close the place. Put a sign in the door. If they want to come back, fine. If not, they're not going to get Johnny's.' Do you deliver? 'No, but we offer catering online. I do a fair amount of catering.' How did the pandemic impact your business? 'I had my cooks, me. We had walk-ins. If I needed help, my kids helped. Slowly but surely in those three or four months of 2020, people caught wind of us being open. It got so busy. It was weird because nobody was in here sitting down.' What do you like best about this job? 'Nothing. No, I'm just kidding. I grew up doing this, so I love what I do. I love making people happy. I love making people feel good when they come in here. Give them a good sandwich. At the end of the day, that's it. And, of course, pay my bills.' Any negatives? 'Sometimes the hours, the stress. But, you know, you've got to have a little stress unless your last name is Kardashian. You've got to have a little pressure.' Was your dad in the business? 'He was a cook in a restaurant. He died very young. He was only 49. … That was a long time ago. I was only 15, 16.' What about competition? 'Everything is a challenge. But it's OK. I just put my head down, go to work every day, make sure I do the right thing. You can't worry about everybody else. I've gone up against Portillo's, Buona Beef.' How many employees do you have? 'Five, six, give or take.' Do you have great cooks? 'I do. They're hustlers. They're the ones you have to keep. … You can tell. We don't mess around.'' Is there a busy time for you? 'You don't know. As long as they come in.' What makes a great hot dog? 'Prepared properly. It depends on the product. You can have them with the snap. You can have them with less of a snap. … You can't let them sit too long. We steam them. Mustard, relish, onion, tomato, pickle, pepper freshly cut, a little celery salt.' What's your hot dog preference? 'Vienna Beef. To me, it's the best. David Berg was good too. They're gone.' What's your advice for someone starting a business? 'For a restaurant, it's like being in a combat zone. Throw your combat boots on in the morning and get ready. Don't look back. Whatever comes your way, move forward right through it. Don't worry about eight hours later, the next day, just keep going every day.'
