2017 KOENIGSEGG AGERA RS 0-400-0 km/h RECORD (36.44 sec) l Beats Bugatti Chiron

The Bugatti Chiron has lost its 0-249-0 mile-per-hour (400 kilometer-per-hour) record of 41.96 seconds to the Koenigsegg Agera RS. The Swedish hypercar crushed the previous achievement by doing the run in a mere 36.44 seconds, knocking over 5.5 seconds off the Bugatti's time. In addition, the Agera RS was far quicker than the Chiron in reaching 249 mph from a standing stop. The Swede required just 26.88 to achieve that velocity. Meanwhile, Bugatti reported that the Chiron needed 32.6 seconds to hit 249 mph during its record run. Koenigsegg factory drive Niklas Lilja performed the record shattering run at Vandel Airfield in Denmark on October. 1. The company used a data logger and GPS to confirm the times. The only necessary tweak to the Agera RS was adjusting the angle of the rear wing. Lilja's entire attempt actually reached 250 mph (403 kph). The on-board equipment said that he managed this in 37.28 seconds, which was still quicker than the Bugatti. The Swedish hypercar maker made this run at the request of the Agera RS's owner who was "very keen for us to verify the car’s performance in comparison to other manufacturers," the company reported. The record-shattering model will now go to the buyer in the United States who will surely enjoy immediate bragging rights about it.
