Yes, the Koenigsegg Agera is a very expensive Swedish super car that can supposedly beat the Bugatti Veyron (Thursday) in an all-out drag race, but what separates the two super cars is that the Agera can run on bio fuel and gasoline. Koenigsegg was the first sports car company to start making their cars run on bio fuels in 2007. With a 5.0-litre V8 engine, it is hard to believe that this car can produce 1115 hp. On September 2, the Agera was tested for the first time, breaking production land speed records with the fastest 0-186.4 mph in 14.53 seconds, beating the Bugatti's record of 14.6 seconds. With a 7 speed dual clutch gear box, 0-60 mph time is about 2.9 seconds and a approximate top speed of 275 it is said to be faster than a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, but it is still to be verified. The rear wing on the Agera is not powered by hydraulics like most super cars, but by the down force of the wind itself, helping to reduce weight and wind resistance. Although a little less practical than the Bugatti, this could well be the super car of tomorrow, but the price is not cheap at $1,611,000.
