Koenigsegg Agera RS takes world's fastest car crown with 277.9mph run

Image

Koenigsegg has set a new 277.9mph world speed record for a production car on a closed public road in Nevada.

Quote:
Sweden’s only hypercar manufacturer has set a world top speed record for a production car after clocking a two-way average of 277.9mph with its Agera RS on an 11-mile stretch of Nevada highway. At 12mph faster than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and over 7mph more than the Hennessay Venom, Koenigsegg is confident it has built the world’s fastest road car.

Koenigsegg had permission to attempt the word record attempt on a stretch of highway between Las Vegas and Pahrump, with the authorities closing the 11-mile stretch between 7am and 3pm over two days. However, the team reached its target early on the first day of running.

I thought this was going to be a thread about Bloodhound SSC, which they tested for the first time in front of the public last week, I watched the live stream and it was really cool.



Their aim is to break the landspeed record (set by the same guy) and go faster than 1000MPH.

British made :up:

277.9mph :olo: :olo:

That thing doesn't have any wing mirrors so I don't think it's road legal. Not sure though.
