Koenigsegg Agera accelerating up to 356 km/h

Something I love about high-end sports cars is, apart from their presence and elegance, the sound of their engine. I think you’ll all agree with me that hearing the whine and the blow-off of the turbo of a powerful engine is something fascinating, and if the engine is pushed to its limits it is almost exciting.

What you’ll be able to see in the video I’m showing you below is a Koenigsegg Agera accelerating up to 356 km/h. Judging by the sound of the engine, it seems that it still had a lot of power left to show, but the driver of this marvellous sports car decided to lift off the throttle. However, it is speculated that the car reached 402 km/h, but the passenger stopped recording because they were entering a German public road.

I don’t know which model of Agera it was, but since it exceeded 400 km/h, it could be the Agera R. This Swedish sports car normally fits a 4.7-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that produces around 1,100 horsepower and, combined with the model’s low weight of 1,300 kilos, allows the Koenigsegg Agera R to be a serious competitor for the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than three seconds and reaches a top speed of over 400 km/h and as you’ll be able to see, it sounds really, really good.
