Koenigsegg Agera R
 |
In case you didn't know, the Agera R is a range-topping marvel of engineering achievement: a supercar boasting as much as 1,099 horsepower depending on your fuel of choice.Although the power figures are impressive enough, the two figures that are most likely to grab the attention of automotive enthusiasts in the days of 1,200 horsepower Bugattis would be the Agera R's scant weight of 2,932 lbs and its lateral g-force capability of 1.6g! To put the car in perspective, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport tips the scales at 4,053 lbs, which likely explains why it tops out at 1.4g's of lateral acceleration.
The Agera R can scoot from a stop to 60 in just 2.9 seconds, hit 124 mph in 7.5 seconds and achieve top speed of 245 mph - which falls short of the Super Sport's top speed by about 22 mph. All of this performance comes from an aluminum 5.0-liter V8 which features four valves per cylinder, twin turbochargers and a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox.
