koenigsegg agera r
The Koenigsegg Agera R is a mid-engined supercar made by Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg as of 2011. The 'R' is in essence a special edition Agera, which runs on biofuel, rather than petrol. The car made its debut at the March 2011 Geneva Motor Show — with a ‘Speed Racer' livery theme, special Michelin tires and a Thule Roof Box — although its existence as a production car was already announced prior to this.
The Agera R can accelerate from 0–62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds and reach a theoretical top speed of approximately 275 mph (442.569 km/h), making it faster than a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, although this has not been officially verified. On September 2 during test sessions inÄngelholm the Agera R broke six world land speed records for a production car, including 0-300 km/h (0–186.4 mph) in 14.53 seconds, surpassing the previous record of 14.6 seconds set by the Bugatti Veyron. The Guinness Book of Records is yet to confirm the results, although all data was measured and collected by a third party with the officially accepted Racelogic VBox performance recorder.

The Agera R will use an in-house developed 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine which produces 1115 PS and 1100 bhp at 6900 rpm and over 1000 Nm of torque from 2700 to 6170 rpm. The engine is capable of running on multiple fuel types and for countries that do not offer the Bio-fuels, the Agera R is able to run on normal 95 octane fuels, but power output is cut by about 100hp and 100 lb-ft of torque. Gear changes are made using a 7-speed paddle shift transmission, incorporating an e-diff.
