Nuts!
Wasnt a fair battle but oh well, shows how much power this car has.

is Koenigsegg gonna keep making multimillion dollar supercars?
Why cant he make something more "affordable" in the 150-250k range?

I think Koenigsegg can squeeze a bit more from the Agera to make it compete against the Henessey Venom GT and the SSC Ultimate Aero in 0-300 times.

Although the SSC Ultimate Aero and Hennessey Venom GT are around 16s from given GPS data.

Let's wait and see cuz this is unconfirmed rumour, but there's talk's of a possible Agera RR version.

The word is that Christian is still not totally satisfied with the performance of the engine and he thinks it can do more record braking times.

The venom has yet to post anything official and the new ssc is well, not out yet. Imo, the only contender sill be the ssc, the venom will break apart before making it to 250.
