Koenigsegg Agera RS – A month ago, the car manufacturer Bugatti proudly announced a new world record. A Bugatti Chiron with 1,500 hp needed only 42 seconds to speed up from 0 to 400 km/h and then to brake from 400 to 0 km/h again. The video on Youtube was watched over 6.3 million times. The audience also included the Swedish carmakers from Koenigsegg, who did not want to put the shame on themselves for long.

On October 1, the record set by Bugatti was broken. This is a Koenigsegg Agera RS, controlled by Niklas Lilja at an airport in Vandel (Denmark). The Koenigsegg Agera RS took only 36.44 seconds to veil from 0 to 400 km/h and then decelerate to 0 km/h. For the acceleration from 0 to 400 km/h, the vehicle took 26.88 seconds at a distance of 1,958 meters. For braking from 400 km/h to 0 km/h, the vehicle needed 483 meters and 9.56 seconds.

The video showed that the test driver had to touch the steering wheel during the rapid acceleration. The vehicle speeds up from 0 to 300 km/h in 11.922 seconds.
