2012 Koenigsegg Agera R

It seems the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has become the target to beat for the mantle of fastest car in the world. Shelby Super Cars is right now working on their Veyron killer, but Koenigsegg, as always, came up a bit short. But hey! It doesn't matter, because they end up looking good in the end, like this new one, the Agera R. Now you may remember the CCXR Edition, the fastest car Koenigsegg produced. It had 1,018 horsepower out of a 4.7-liter Twin-Supercharged V8 engine. This one has 1,115 out of an all new 5.0-liter Twin-Turbocharged V8 engine, which is a lot, but is no match compared to the Veyron Super Sport's 1,200 horsepower engine. 0 to 60 is done in less than 2.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 260 MPH. Most of this car is made of Carbon Fiber and the roof is removable, as seen here..

It's a Convertible Now!

Pretty cool, huh? I recommend keeping the roof on though. At 260 MPH, your face just might be disintegrated. Anyway, prices have not been announced yet, but expect it to be in the millions. This will be a highly exclusive car. Check it out as it hits Geneva this week.
