The world of cars has a new top trump after the Koenigsegg Agera RS smashed the record for the world's fastest production auto. Of course, the video is not almost as thrilling as what it must have felt like to hit those speeds, but it is interesting to see the 270-plus miles per hour.
The test was carried out on an 11-mile stretch of road between Las Vegas and Pahrhump, that had been closed to the public. The Agera RS is now the worlds fastest auto, with a combined top speed on a two run test of 277.9 miles per hour.

Sure, the V10 Italian exotic may only have half the power of an Agera RS with the Megawatt engine, but the Sant'Agata Bolognese machine has something that the Swede is missing, namely a naturally aspirated heart. They were a standard set of off-the-rack Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires-simply incredible considering the stresses they would have been put under.
