When it comes to punching through to 300 km/h and then slamming to a halt (without the assistance of any solid objects), Koenigsegg’s Agera R is the world’s quickest. That’s according to the folks at Guinness, declaring the Agera R the fastest to achieve the feat by wrapping up the whole process in just 21.19 seconds.
Breaking it down, that’s a 0 – 300 km/h sprint time of 14.53 seconds, before slamming on the brakes and coming to a stop in 6.66 seconds. The Agera topped things off with a 0 – 321.86 km/h (200 mph) time of 17.68 seconds – or about the time it takes the Tata Nano to hit 100 km/h.
For the record (literally), the Agera R took 7.28 seconds to come to a halt after hitting 200 mph. Pulling the car up is a pair of 396 mm vented ceramic discs and six-piston calipers at the front and a 380 mm four-piston arrangement at the rear.
Power for the Agera R is provided by a twin-turbo 5.0-litre V8 engine, producing 830 kW and 1 200 Nm of torque and running on E85 bio-ethanol. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Officially, the most-mental Koenigsegg will hit 100km/h in 2.9 seconds and its top speed is claimed to be more than 390 km/h.
