I'm surprised there hasn't been a ton of chatter about this. I think it's the first time Koenigsegg have actually tried to put their cars and numbers to a real test on track since the old CCX on Top Gear.

I've always believed that the Agera R has TOO much power and torque to be a track monster, more for a drag or top speed car. It will be all over the place on the track, and it would take thousands of hours of testing (Pagani had driven their Huayra some 1 million KM in testing on road and track) by the best engineers, and drivers to get even 5 tenths out of it. And any mistake would be near fatal. If they had the goods, they would have done what Pagani had done, put a decent laptime at the Ring and brag, and I've long suspected that the extra HP wasn't going to translate to equally impressive laptimes (I mean, come on, zero lap times in the past 6-7 years?)

Unfortunately, it's ended pretty badly. Hope driver and passenger are ok
