It may not be the prettiest vehicle in the world but at the speeds it travels it would be hard to appreciate its beauty anyway. Just the motion blur of a rocket-like looking car is the only thing that a standing spectator would have a chance to see if the Koenigsegg One passed by him or her at full speed.
The Swedish already beat the world record in the year 2011 with the Agera R model when it clocked 21,19 seconds when going from 0-300 and back to zero km/h. However impressive those numbers seem, now these times are nothing compared to the 17,95 seconds for 0-300-0 km/h that the Koenigsegg delivers. By the way, it goes from 0 to 300 km/h in a mere 11,92 seconds and only takes 6,03 to slow down to 0.
This record was achieved during a series of tests that the brand was performing so we even get to see a video of Robert Serwanski “piloting” the vehicle. It’s actually pretty scary how little he holds the steering. Have a look yourself by watching the video below.
