News from Koenigsegg"s ascent to the top of the speed tree continues to astonish. Official confirmation has arrived that the Koenigsegg Agera RS has just set FIVE new records.The first you saw last month, where an owner"s 1,360bhp Agera RS managed to go from 0-249mph-0 in just 36.44secs. Over the weekend, this same Agera managed to shave off a few seconds, achieving a record of 33.29secs. That"s just over eight seconds faster than a Bugatti Chiron.The 0-249mph bit was covered off in 24 seconds flat, while braking back down to zero took another 9.29secs across 499.3 metres. Oh, and if you"re interested, the Agera RS managed a quarter mile run in 9.96secs. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a ten second car.More speed happened. The Agera RS managed an average top speed of 277.87mph over two runs, as you"ll know, meaning it is the fastest production car in the world. You can watch video of both runs above.During its north-westerly run, we"re told (from the Las Vegas end towards Pahrump), the Agera managed to hit 284.55mph. The south-easterly run managed 271.19mph, though that was slightly uphill and featured a bit of a headwind. Still, job done.
