This must be a VERY new car, like built as of recent. Bugati has been holding the fastest street car to it name for quite a while. Now the question is, is it comparable in price, cheaper or more expensive

Yes, like faster than that car. Faster top speed and faster acceleration.

Yeah, check this out!


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. Welcome to Six Flags Over Sweden.

The rate of acceleration levels off but it's still going upstairs like crazy (124 to 186 mph takes 7 seconds). This is telemetry as pornography.

Me neither but if I was in that car I would have my foot to the floor the second that last yellow hit thats just me though. I would rather keep the million bucks and buy a camero so i can race it.

With this type of vehicle, they have a launch control system that helps keep the car from spinning its tires of the start. No matter how much pressure you put on the pedal, the launch control system will only let you go up to a certain RPM. It's the manufactures way of giving you the best time and launch for your car aaaaaaand a way so you don't burn your car out. Last time I checked, each tire is 10,000 dollars. You have to send your rim or rims with the old tires back to the manufacture so they can install new ones. I'm sure you can turn the launch control system off but you might damage something on the car
