Last week Koenigsegg descended on Spring Mountain and used it as it's base of operations for their record runs on HWY 160 on the last stretch you drive from Las Vegas to Pahrump.

They set 5 records using a customer's Agera RS running on Michelin Super Sport Cup 2 tires.

There are 8 Agera RS's in the US and 4 of them showed up for the event.

They let them run on the closed highway also, since they had it for the day.

That is pretty awesome, but my car could do that all day going in reverse!

But seriously, that would be quite the run! Amazing machines!

I was initially pretty surprised that he wasn't even wearing a helmet.... Then I thought... does it really matter if you crashed at 400kph.....
I won't post it as it's quite graphic but there is a youtube of a Huracán 300+ crash on the autobahn. Just nasty.
