Koenigsegg World Record Speed Run

submitted by newtboy

7 years 1 month 2 weeks ago

The Koenigsegg Agera RS driven by Niklas Lilja achieves a new world record top speed for a road-legal production vehicle.

High speed runs were conducted on a closed section of US Highway 160 near Pahrump, Nevada, on November 4th 2017. Runs were made in both directions to compensate for any variation in topography and prevailing wind.

The Agera RS achieved a new top speed record for a production vehicle, being 446.97 km/h (277.87 mph) when averaged out over both runs.

All vehicle data was recorded independently by Racelogic and the film above is taken directly from the Racelogic system, with data overlaid for video presentation

I call shenanigans. They must have changed the final drive ratio, in which case is it really still a 'production' car?

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Mordhaus.

What got me was when it passed 360 and then had another gear to shift into.

I still think the Koeniggseggsggegsneggsgg looks like a soulless blob of playdough. Pay that much? You should get at least a slap dash attempt at sexy.

Is it just my monitor, or is it really damned hard to read the upper-left portion of that speedometer? I don't understand why they would have had it transition to a bright white with white text.

I dunno....on my kindle it's easy to see, but I agree it's a horrible color choice.
