Bugatti was bragging about the Chiron breaking a new speed record 0-400km/h

A Koenigsegg Agera RS has just managed to go from 0-400km/h and back to the standstill in just 36.44 seconds. The new time, set at Vandel Airfield in Denmark with Koenigsegg test driver Niklas Lilja behind. The Bugatti Less than a month ago, Bugatti was bragging about the Chiron breaking a new speed record, in which the 1,500-hp hypercar managed to hit 0-249-0 mph in 41.96 seconds speed with former Formula One driver Juan Pablo Montoya behind the car wheel. The Bugatti car was so blazingly fast, it required another Chiron to act as a camera car to keep up with it. This clearly caught the attention Koenigsegg, as the Swedish supercar manufacturer recently baited beautiful Bugatti with a mysterious social media post implying that it’s already beaten the record.

Bugatti it’s not as important as you may think, it does show how briskly a car can get up to speed, push your back into the seat, and even put a smile on your face. The Bugatti Cars made by brands like Koenigsegg, however, play in a completely different realm — the realm of the hypercar.

The new Bugatti car mystery has now been solved, as Koenigsegg has revealed the Agera RS has set a new 0-249-0 mph record – and it absolutely destroys the Chiron’s time. The Last Sunday on October 1st, the frighteningly fast Koenigsegg Agera RS managed to accelerate from 0-249 mph and then come back to a standstill in a staggering 36.44 seconds. The car seen in the video above, a cabernet-tinged Agera RS has completed the 0-249-0 mph run in just 36.44 seconds, smashing the previous time by more than 5.0 seconds. The Bugatti car an amazing feat to be sure, but if that weren’t impressive enough, Koenigsegg didn’t even use its fastest car.

The Bugatti car development and the production of the Agera have boosted the business of Koenigsegg, founded in 1994. The Swedish supercar specialists announced in June that their factory’s full allocation of 80 plug-in hybrids Regina's had been sold out. Why didn’t Koenigsegg use the Regera for the test, you ask? The $2 million electrified hypercar is very much sold out, so the brand had to “settle” for its second choice. Your move, Bugatti.

New Bugatti sports car record run was originally scheduled to take place between September 30th & October 2nd at the Papen burg test facility in Germany Company, but these plans were scrapped because of bad weather. The new Bugatti sports car another opportunity arose thanks to a spell of good weather in southern Scandinavia, so the team embarked on a lengthy four-hour drive to the Vandel airfield. The Bugatti sports car arrangement was so last-minute, the Agera RS was still wrapped with protective industrial tape over various surfaces to keep it safe from debris. Since the airfield has been closed for 14 years, the condition of the track surface wasn’t ideal in this car.

"The Last year our company high level employed 68 people, now we are 112," von Koenigsegg said in a 2016 interview with Business Insider, noting that the waiting list for the Reger's was some three years long.
