ASPHALT ASSAULT
The fastest production car
Koenigsegg Agera RS
$$$ 1,9 million USD
Built by Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB the Agera RS high-performance hypercar became the world’s fastest
production car in 2017, setting a record with a GPS-verified two-way average top speed of 278 mph (447 km/h) and a fastest straight-
line speed of 285 mph (458 km/h) Although it is not illegal to own a Koenigsegg Agera in the U.S. most countries around the world
have strict regulations meaning Koenigseggs are often not street legal, like in the U.S. due to their inability to meet certain federal
standards - the only exception that is street legal in the U.S. is the Koenigsegg CCX. Then again, there’s always the racetrack option if
you want to experience the Agera RS’s true potential.
With a total of only 25 cars ever produced the Agera RS defines the term “limited-edition” and it’s the pinnacle of exclusivity. At a
whopping cost estimate of $1.9 million American dollars, this sweet ride is intended for only the wealthiest of car enthusiasts.
The Agera RS houses a 5.0-liter V8 engine with a power output of 1,160 hp (865kW) on regular pump fuel. The optional 1-megawatt
package increases the engine’s power to a staggering 1,341 hp (1,000kW).
This year, the Agera RS has been succeeded by the Jesko, a 1600-horsepower hypercar
that’s set to hit 300 mph which has us wondering, if you put wings on it, would it fly?
