Chiron held the record for all about a week. The Agera RS is a beast! Love those things!

And in a brand new car that had never seen those speeds until that day. On an old WW2 runway filled with loose gravel and potholes/bumps. I think they said they were spinning all the way into 4th gear.

And not in the One:1. They could have gone even faster... a good bit faster


also notice.. 403 kmh lol

Lol.

The Chiron has 42 on the grill to show how fast it can do 0-400-0.

That's got to be rough for those guys now.

Did it stall out at the end of the run?
No. If you watch some other videos like doing almost 200 mph then slamming on the brakes and taking his hands off the wheel its easy to see that it probably has the most advanced electronics in a car to date. His cars are almost 100% dummy proof.

Easy fix, just change the 4 to a # or say it's the Jackie Robinson commemorative edition.

The acceleration is impressive, but daaamn that deceleration was intense.
Bugatti can supply the owners with a can of plasti dip if they want to fix it.

Wow! Now what will the Regera do? They claim it'll hit 400km/h in under 20 seconds and it took the above Agera RS to do it in 26.88 seconds...

The regera will be back to zero before the Chiron hits 400 I bet.

From a few interviews I saw a while back the Regera has more aero then the RS and would need more distance to obtain the same speed and same with the One:1. Basically the RS was used for this purpose for a reason instead of using the other 2 lol. Doesn't really matter tho, the other 2 would still beat the VW.

If you read about the Regera on Koenigsegg’s website, they state it does 0-400 km/h in under 20 seconds. Unless I’m missing something, that will put a whipping on the Agera RS assuming it brakes equally as well. Either way, the Chiron and Koenigsegg are insanely stupid fast for a production car.

The interviews I watched were when Regera was still in development, I don't care for that model much so I didn't keep up with it. They may have changed the end game design for Regera but they still used the RS to smash Bugs record, Regera probably isn't ready yet for that kind of speed due to price and being extremely low production units and as brand new chassis but i'm guessing they will go at it with it when its available if they decide to.
