Yesterday, Koenigsegg revealed on its Facebook page that it may have beaten the 0-400-0 km/h record held by the Bugatti Chiron, of which was piloted by former F1 driver, Juan Pablo Montoya.
Well, Koenigsegg has indeed broken the record with an official time of 36.44 seconds, bettering the Chiron’s 41.96 seconds. The Agera RS took 26.88 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 400 km/h and did so in 1,958 meters (the Bugatti took 32.6 seconds and 2,621 m), then decelerated over 483 meters in 9.56 seconds (491 m and 9.3 seconds for the Chiron). The total distance covered was 2,441 metres (3,112 m for Bugatti Chiron).
In the video, the time and distance – 37.28 seconds and 2,535 metres – figures were taken based on the 0-403-0 km/h attempt.The man behind the wheel was Koenigsegg’s own factory driver, Niklas Lilja, whose record-breaking feat at the Vandel Airfield in Denmark was captured using an AiM EVO5 data logger along with an AiM GPS08.
The heroic Agera RS gets the 1MW engine upgrade (One:1 upgrade pack), boosting output to 1,360 hp and 1,369 Nm from its 5.0 litre twin-turbo V8. That’s 119 hp and 231 Nm less compared to the quad-turbo Chiron! Also fitted to the car was Koenigsegg’s optional and removable roll cage, which added weight but had to be fitted for obvious reasons.

Ppl at Bugatti must be cringing like mad now. Its barely a month and now broken with ease. Whats next? Hennessey?
whats the point?
To prove good specs doesn’t guarantee you a good performance. From horsepower to torque to number of turbos and cylinders all lower as compared to Bugatti and yet the result is slower than Agera RS.
Anyhow most of these rich asses wouldn’t use the car to its full potential, mostly to show off only, hence I agree with you, what’s the point?
it’s not all about performance..buggati has luxurious interior which this agera never had
The cameraman vehicle is faster
When you can easily afford Mercedes & BMW, you would wish one day you own a Rolls Royce and Ferrari.
that tracking shot of the bugatti was still way more exhilarating.. who knew a land rover with open back can go that fast..
