[.. damn that we, i anyway, can't reproduce yahoo images ..]

Accelerating a standstill to 186 mph in 14.5 seconds is a fairly kinetic event. Very loud, tunnel vision, urge to pee. One moment the Swedish countryside is just sitting there, looking lovely and serene; the next it's blowing past you in a violent blur of autumn colors. Herregud! I've been pillaged.

The Koenigsegg Agera R, built by an extraordinary man named Christian von Koenigsegg, in Angelholm, Sweden, last year laid waste to a bunch of Guinness production-car records, among them: zero to 186 miles per hour and back to zero in 21.19 seconds. The very car I'm driving, in fact. And it is, it feels like, a horizontal roller coaster: At rest, the Agera R always seems poised in space, then hit the gas, over the top, and straight down, bang, bang, bang go the gears. A plunging vertigo takes over, a forward free-fall. The momentum builds in inexorable squares of mass and you scream your face off.

Koenigsegg Agera R 0-300-0 Record Video

Saturday, September 3, 2011 16:05 by Arman Barari



Koenigsseg, apparently tired of daily business, took a juicy red Agera R to Ängelholm proving ground to have
some fun. And while doing so, they broke a couple of acceleration and braking records for production cars!

The 1115-hp hyper car set extraordinary records not just in acceleration, but more amazingly,
in braking. To put it simply, in the time your normal car takes to reach 100 km/h, the Agera
has gone past 300 km/h. And it only takes it 6 seconds to come to a dead stop from the speed.

The performance of this car really is mind-boggling. All these record are verified with Racelogic VBox equipments:

0-300km/h = 14.53sec

0-200mph = 17.68sec

300-0km/h = 6.66sec

200-0mph = 7.28sec

0-300-0km/h = 21.19sec

0-200-0mp/h = 24.96sec
