Watch A Koenisgsegg Agera RS Slice 5sec Off The Chiron's 0-400-0 Time

Bugatti's 0-400-0kmh record has already been broken, with Koenigsegg besting the Chiron's time using an Agera RS

05 Oct 2017

That didn’t take long, did it? Less than a month after Bugatti declared the Chiron to be the fastest car from 0-400-0kmh (0-248-0mph), the firm’s feat has already been bettered by Koenigsegg. By over five seconds, in fact.

The Swedish supercar company’s weapon of choice was - as anticipated - the 1341bhp, 5.0-litre V8-powered Agera RS, and it did the whole run in an astonishing 36.44 seconds, 5.52 seconds faster than the Chiron.

Braking time was actually a little slower at 9.56sec (vs 9.3 for the Chiron), with the Agera making up all the time over the Chiron on the acceleration phase.

The run at Vandel Airfield, Denmark was in reality a smidge longer than 36.44sec, with the RS hitting 403kmh before driver Niklas Lilja applied the brakes. Factoring that in, the duration was 37.28sec - still faster than the Chiron. The car covered 2535 metres in total.

We’d say something akin to ‘your move, Bugatti’, but we’re not sure much can be done to overcome that five and a half second deficit…

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I like the chiron more than the agera. But i have to say, Well played Christian von koenigsegg. But will it have a faster top speed than the chiron.

It’s amazing when Koenigsegg beats the VW Group, a company producing as many cars in 10 minutes as Koenigsegg has EVER produced, at its own game. Now please Koenigsegg, test a Regera!

Damn the rivalry is going insane between koenigsegg and bugatti.

ONE:1 as well.
I think Koenigsegg ha a thing for making really fast cars, but never actually testing them for speeds

So bugatti sets the world record and koenigsegg grabs their “old” car to beat it… well played

Wait… is it me or does the front splitter look like it’s made of wood? Of course it isn’t actually wooden, but it looks pretty cool.

Some sort of tape to protect the body panels from scratches before its delivered to the owner.

Bugatti: “the Chiron has broken the 0-400km/h-0 record”
Koenigsegg: “hold my beer…”

*hold my Absolut

Wow nice joke bud

The Agera’s colour scheme seems like it’s inspired by Iron Man.

The yellow is just tape to protect from road debris

With the yellow tape it has the colours of the Koenigsegg emblem. I highly doubt that it was unintentional.

Tony Stark Intensifies xd

That means now volkswagen is now butthurt and are gunning to break the record of veyron ss. But atleast the chiron has much better brakes stopping a nearly 2 ton car in less time.
