A car that rare is not supposed to just disappear. Yet one of the world’s most exclusive hypercars is now missing, and the search has gone global.
A Koenigsegg One:1 once owned by former Formula 1 driver Adrian Sutil has vanished, and authorities are now chasing leads across borders with Interpol involved. What started as quiet speculation has turned into an active international investigation, and the circumstances behind the car’s disappearance are as unusual as the machine itself.

The missing car is not just another exotic. It is chassis number 7107, one of only seven One:1 models ever built. That alone puts it in a category where every example is known, documented, and closely watched. This is not the kind of car that blends in.
According to details confirmed by VFTE, the One:1 has been missing since January 2026. Investigators believe it was moved out of Monaco, with possible links pointing toward Eastern Europe or Russia. That trail is still being worked, but the fact that it crossed borders changes everything. This is no longer a local issue. It is a coordinated effort to track a car that should be impossible to hide.
Here’s the part that matters.
This particular One:1 stands out even among its already rare peers. It wears a clear carbon fiber body with China Pink accents, a combination that makes it instantly recognizable. Anyone familiar with high-end hypercars would spot it. Anyone trying to move it quietly would have a problem.
The One:1 name itself tells you what kind of machine this is. It delivers a one-to-one power-to-weight ratio, pairing 1,360 horsepower with a curb weight of 1,360 kilograms. That formula is why Koenigsegg labeled it the world’s first megacar. It is not just rare. It is a landmark in automotive engineering.
Valuing something like this is not straightforward, but estimates place it around $22 million. That price tag alone makes the case serious. Add in the rarity and the circumstances, and it becomes something else entirely. This is where the story turns.
The disappearance was not a simple theft in the traditional sense. A January 2026 report from Auto Motor und Sport outlines a chain of events that feels more like a pressure campaign than a typical burglary.
Multiple vehicles were reportedly removed from Sutil’s garage in Monaco after his family was allegedly threatened. According to the report, Sutil’s lawyer stated that a caller claimed connections to the Wagner Group and warned that the cars would be taken regardless of resistance.
Shortly after that warning, several individuals are said to have arrived and taken a number of high-value vehicles under pressure. The One:1 was among them. It was not alone. The reported list also included a Koenigsegg Regera and a Mercedes-Benz 600 Saloon once owned by Elvis Presley.
That detail matters. This was not about grabbing a single car. It suggests a broader operation targeting valuable, high-profile vehicles.
And that’s where it gets complicated.
Taking a car like the One:1 is one challenge. Moving it without drawing attention is another problem entirely. With only seven units in existence and a highly distinctive appearance, selling it through normal channels is almost impossible. Anyone in the market for a car like this would know exactly what they are looking at.
That leaves limited options. Private deals or long-term concealment become the most likely paths. Neither is simple when the car in question is effectively a rolling identifier.
Authorities in Germany and Monaco are continuing to investigate, working alongside Interpol as the case expands beyond national borders. The involvement of an international agency signals that this is being treated as more than an isolated incident. It points toward coordination, planning, and a network capable of moving high-value assets across regions.
For the automotive world, this hits a nerve.
Cars like the One:1 are not just transportation. They are rolling pieces of history, engineering statements that push boundaries. When one disappears under circumstances like this, it sends a message that even the most exclusive machines are not immune.
There is also a practical side to this. Hypercars at this level are typically tracked, documented, and known within a tight circle of collectors and brokers. That visibility should make them harder to move, not easier. Yet here is a case where one has slipped out of sight.

That raises the stakes for everyone involved in the high-end collector space. If a car this recognizable can vanish, it forces a harder look at security, storage, and the risks that come with owning something so valuable.
At the same time, the details surrounding the alleged threats shift the focus beyond cars alone. This is not just about a missing asset. It is about how that asset was taken and under what conditions.

No arrests have been announced. No recovery has been confirmed. The One:1 remains missing, and the investigation is still unfolding.
What is clear is that this is not a typical stolen car story. It is a high-value, high-visibility case involving one of the rarest hypercars ever built, tied to allegations that push it into a different category entirely.
And right now, one of seven Koenigsegg One:1s is out there somewhere, with no clear path back.
