An ultra-rare Koenigsegg One:1 formerly owned by ex-Formula One driver Adrian Sutil has reportedly disappeared from Monaco in a case now attracting international attention and involving Interpol.
According to multiple reports in German and international automotive media, the hypercar, one of only seven examples ever built by Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg, was declared missing earlier this year following the disappearance of several luxury vehicles from Sutil’s private garage in the Principality.
The case is being treated as part of a broader investigation involving alleged intimidation, organised crime and the disappearance of vehicles estimated to be worth around €17 million.
German publication Auto Motor und Sport, cited by several outlets, reported that Sutil’s legal representatives alleged individuals claiming links to the Russian mercenary organisation Wagner Group pressured the former racing driver and his family late last year amid an ongoing German fraud investigation connected to his luxury car collection.
Sutil’s lawyer, Dirk Schmitz, reportedly told investigators that the message delivered to the former Formula One driver was effectively “cars out, or else”.
Authorities have not publicly confirmed any direct involvement by the Wagner Group, and several elements of the affair remain unverified. The case continues to be investigated by German authorities alongside international police agencies.
The missing One:1 is considered one of the world’s most recognisable hypercars due to its exposed carbon-fibre bodywork accented with distinctive pink detailing. Identified in specialist registries as chassis number 7107, the car is widely regarded as nearly impossible to sell discreetly because of its rarity and unique appearance.
Originally unveiled in 2014, the One:1 became famous as Koenigsegg’s first “megacar”, producing 1,360 horsepower while weighing approximately 1,360 kilograms, giving it a one-to-one power-to-weight ratio unprecedented at the time. The model also set several acceleration records and remains among the most sought-after collector hypercars in existence.
Reports suggest investigators believe the vehicle may have been moved out of Monaco toward Eastern Europe, although no official confirmation regarding its whereabouts has been released. The disappearance comes as Sutil himself remains under legal scrutiny in Germany linked to separate allegations of fraud and embezzlement involving luxury vehicles and business activities.
Alongside the Koenigsegg, other reportedly missing vehicles include a Koenigsegg Regera, a Rolls-Royce Phantom and several Ferraris and Porsches.
