| The race to create the world's fastest production car is still raging.
While the likes of Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche have given up chasing the Bugatti Veyron's official record as the world's fastest car, Koenigsegg has revealed details of the machine it claims will eclipse the million-dollar French masterpiece.
Less than a week after American tuner, Hennessey, released footage of its twin-turbo V8-powered Venom beating the Veyron by clocking 435km/h during a one-way blast on a NASA landing strip, Koenigsegg - a boutique Swedish supercar company - has showcased its Agera One:1 ahead of this week's public unveiling at the Geneva motor show.
Koenigsegg claims the Agera One:1 - which it says is the "world's first mega car" - is capable of accelerating to 400km/h in approximately 20 seconds before reaching a top speed in excess of 439km/h thanks to its combination of lightweight construction, race-inspired downforce and a fearsome amount of power.
