Default video: 918 spyder vs koenigsegg Agera R

Ignore the first race. 918 didnt downshift. Agera R is a beast!
Both incredible cars! The 918 looks absolutely stunning

Wow, the 918 is FAST!!

From 50km/hr, it take almost like forever for the Agera R to catch up, around the middle of 5th in the 918 by my count. Had they start from zero the gap would have been even bigger.

The Koenigsegg Agera R is expected to trounce the 918's Nurburgring lap time. Speculation is in the 6:30s (vs. the 918s lap of 6:57 lap). If the article is accurate, they will run it next year for an official time. That's a result of 1,341hp TT V8.

The Agera 1:1 is set to post that lap time and has 1341HP. It's a completely different car underneath than the 'regular' Agera

It looks like the Agera R overtook the 918 at the 257km/h mark on the second race. Nothing beats simple raw power. For some weird reason, the Koenigsegg concept appeals to the demon side of me......

It reminds me of the muscle cars in the 60s, fast in a straight-line, but it might have trouble negotiating corners.
