6. Koenigsegg Agera R
On number six, and next on our list we have a mid-engined sports car made by Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg.
And if you were wondering where its name comes from, it’s about time to find out that it comes from the Swedish verb ‘agera’ which means “to act” or “to take action”.
The car is fitted with with a Speed Racer livery theme, special Michelin tires and a Thule R, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds, and reaching a top speed of 273 mph (440 km/h).
On 2 September 2011 the Agera R broke six world land speed records for a production car, including 0–300 km/h in 14.53 seconds, and 0-300-0 km/h in only 21.19 seconds.
The car was upgraded in 2013, and now features carbon fiber wheels, enhanced aerodynamics, and engine upgrades allowing the Agera R’s 5 litre twin turbocharged engine to produce 1140 hp.
