Koenigsegg's Agera RS casually collects five world records in one go
By 
The Swedish supercar gods took a cleaver to Bugatti’s claim of building the fastest production vehicle in the world at the start of November, but now they’ve actually been confirmed as breaking five land speed records for production cars over those amazing days in the Nevada desert.
Using the same 1360hp Agera RS used to break the 0-400km/h-0 record several months ago, the Swedes brought the fight to VW using a closed off section of highway through remote Nevada, which used to be used for the iconic high-speed Silver State Classic road race.
In two days they not only set the record for the fastest production car built (446.97km/h or 277.87mph, an average of two runs in different directions), but also reset their own 0-400km/h-0 record by nearly three seconds (now 33.29secs).
They also beat three 79-year-old records set by Mercedes-Benz on stretches of the (then-new) Autobahn in 1938; highest speed over a flying kilometre (445.54km/h or 276.9mph), highest speed over a flying mile (444.66km/h or 276.36mph), and highest speed achieved on a public road (457.49km/h, or 284.55mph).
