Koenigsegg Agera R


After the success with the CCX Koenigsegg realesed the “sports” version, which made many people either laugh that Koenigsegg thought the first one was not fast enough or cry that the Agera R might kill them because this car would be crazy. The Top Gear camera did not like the sports version either as it top speed was still 245mph but getting there was just that little bit quicker. Journalist Jeremy Clarkson said he would never need a Cigarette again if he owned one of these cars, because it was just that much of an adrenaline rush to have such brutal acceleration at his feet. 0-60 now takes 2.9, 0-124 take 7.5 seconds, powered by the more amped up 5.0 twin turbocharged Mercedes AMG engine that produced 1099hp. The interior was the same except a few weight saving changes such as the seats were lightweight, and that is about it because what weight was still in the car was made up for in more power. The cost to own the Koenigsegg Agera R is a little expensive at an asking price with no bargaining of $1.6 million to own your own. Frankly with this car I think I would be afraid to drive it on the road as this car did not have the greatest of handling through corners so Koenigsegg decided to just throw the biggest, fattest tires on the back to hope they stick a little combined with a tiny little spoiler to keep the downward pressure. This is one window licking Dutch car that is made for adrenaline rushes and living life on the edge.
