It may no longer be the newest Koenigsegg on the block, but the Agera R is still a seriously quick machine. It makes nearly 1000 horsepower from its twin-turbo V8 engine, and sounds absolutely brutal.
Unlike the Regera, which uses a hybrid battery setup and no transmission, the Agera makes due with a single-clutch paddle-shift gearbox and no hybrid assistance. It still looks phenomenally quick bombing down the front straight on this race track. Listen for yourself, and keep a close eye out for the exhaust flames.
