The Agera R might be the fastest production car in the world, but we may never know for sure.
The Swedish supercar has a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 that pumps out 960 hp on gasoline and an astounding 1140 hp when burning E85, enough to theoretically push it to 273 mph, according to Koenigsegg.
The problem is that the only place in the world to safely go for the record is a test track in Germany that’s owned by Volkswagen, who owns Bugatti, who makes the Veyron Super Sport that currently holds the record at 268 mph, so good luck getting the keys to that facility.
