Agera Top Speed and Performance
The Koenigsegg Agera RS holds a verified top speed of 447 km/h (278 mph), recorded during a closed public road test in Nevada in 2017. This figure was independently measured and recognized as a production car speed record at the time.
Engine and Powertrain Details
The Agera RS uses a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine producing around 1,360 hp on standard fuel and up to 1,578 hp on E85 biofuel. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a lightweight 7-speed dual-clutch transmission designed for rapid shifts and high-speed stability.
How It Compares to Other Hypercars
At launch, the Agera RS top speed placed it among the fastest production cars ever tested. Comparable models such as the Bugatti Chiron and Hennessey Venom F5 have since targeted or exceeded similar speeds, with official results varying by test conditions and verification standards.
