Thanks. Saw that story on a recent thread posted here.
From your linked article...
“A Swedish hypercar has set a world record for the fastest ever road-legal car after averaging a staggering 278 miles per hour.
The Koenigsegg Agera RS set the landmark speed on a closed public road in Nevada.
Factory test driver Niklas Lilja got behind the wheel of the 1,380 horsepower hypercar for the daredevil attempt.
Video released by Racelogic, which recorded the speed, shows the Koenigsegg appearing to cruise up to 200 miles per hour before Lilja unleashes its full potential.
He gets into top gear at 220 miles per hour and ends up reaching a top speed of 284 miles per hour.”

Thanks. But why a street legal car should be able to do 300mph, or even 100, is beyond me.
