.ZZ. Posted May 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Yep, 145 in 2nd gear says a lot. When those turbos spool up it's incredible, love that. Edited May 9, 2018 by .ZZ. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road legal? Good question. Probably is if driven at posted speed limits, but of course not at those speeds excepting a legal "closed track" of road as in this case... permits, police, etc. But I don't know. It says "production", but that doesn't necessarily mean it's road legal, per se. Good question. Anybody know?

The new Koenigsegg Agera RS has its focus set firmly on the track but is still perfect for regular use on the road. https://www.koenigsegg.com/agera-rs/ 25 examples will be built. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted May 9, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) One thing I noticed about this awesome car doing its runs in the above vid on a closed public highway... very, very little vibration! Of course, maybe the professional driver might say differently, but just judging from little camera shake and no unusual sounds.... Sweet ride! Top notch suspension and everything!

danydandan Posted May 9, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The Hennessy Venom is actually even faster it's tracked at 301 mph. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danydandan Posted May 9, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The GT is, no reason why the up and coming F5 won't be. It's actually claimed it will go up to 318 mph. It's due for release next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
