Yeah, and did that, while taking his sweet time getting up to 300kph, only then flooring it.... pulling to max speed.... and then gradually letting of the accelerator to not induce too much enginebrake for stability..... If he would launch the car, accelerating fast as he can, and staying floored till he hit that same 11.6km.... I think he'd be closer to a minute flat... if nog less :D THats raw power for ya :)
Haha, I quickly did the math.... forget what I said about the one minute.... 11.6km in 60s is an average of 696km/h :D :D Not likely :D At max speed, it can cover 11.6km in about 90 seconds :)
Holly fuck mother of mercy! at 155km/h I was like ... ok thats it... now all the way to the red line.. and then THAT FKING GEAR SHIFT already half way to the moon ! hahahaha
@@robharrold4417 this car has a lot of power and torque, if it accelerates a lot at 160mph it could lose control, you can see the turbo increase from 180mph because it accelerated a lot.
The speed at which it accelerated from 180MPH to 230MPH was like it entered into a vacuum bubble or something! Like wind resistance was no longer in effect! Amazing!
Because after a certain speed, aerodynamics kick in and the lift that would be generated gets funnelled and turned into more downforce, giving more traction to the wheels, or something like that
Not as much engine noise changes how the speed feels, slowing down after going so fast makes the noise much quieter, thats why electric car owners speed sometimes becuase the roaring sound of the engine isnt their to remind them that they are flying down the highway.
I had no idea production cars were getting to be this fast. I just assumed the record was around 230mph. The fact that we're now approaching 300mph is just insanely impressive engineering.
Going faster and faster is not insane engineering but lasting longer and longer is. Most top manufacturers in the world can do that. Invest in materials and plan power output and design in such a way that cars lasts for atleast one or two runs while breaking speed records. While making a car last for years and decades is the real insane engineering.
That was a 11 mile stretch on Route 160 just outside of Las Vegas on Nov 2017. Highway was closed with special permits granted to Koenigsegg in an attempt to set a world record for speed on a public road. The VAG's Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany would not give permission to use their facilities because they didn't want Bugatti's record broken. But there are at least three cars that have un officially beaten the Veyron's record with more to come..... Cool as it is even today this is all old news.
At altitude, downhill both ways. Everybody knows this road is a bit of a joke in the world's fastest car debate. It's actually much harder to go faster at sea level. Bugatti says the Veyron SS would have nudged 300 miles per hour on this road. Bugatti does it in the real world, this road is for the kit car wannabes.
@@chalkandcheese1868 Not to shit on anyone's riff here, but saying that a street-legal 270 mph car is a "wannabe" just because the Veyron can go 300 ... well, that sounds obnoxious. 99.99999% of people will never know what it's like to be in a vehicle that goes above 200 mph.
@@Fister_of_Muppets Very debatable whether it's street legal or not. When I say " wannabe " I mean the likes of Koenigsegg, Hennessy SSC or whatever it's called, desperately want the prestige, and the legitimacy of the likes of Bugatti, Ferrari and Porsche. Doing 270 is really not that much of an achievement, it would take those companies about a month to build a Koenigsegg like car. Koenigsegg couldn't never build a 918 or a LaFerrari or a Chiron for that matter.
Same comment about how it seemed slower on deceleration. Crazy. I experienced same phenom on the Autobahn in my charger. Top speed was 176 MPH / 283 KPH. I was watching it decelerate to that speed and it seamed slow. I also thought my eyes were going to bounce out of my head, but the Koeni seemed smooth. Nice vid!
Lembro do meu Chevette 86 chegando aos 120 km/h (repare que era o limite da Rodovia Imigrantes em SP). Aquela porra parecia que ia explodir ou decolar pra lua, o volante mexia de lado a lado com a folga e o pneu remolde ajudava a feder o que já estava cagado haha lindo demais, nunca vou esquecer a emoção de acelerar aquele velhinho que foi meu primeiro carro! Como foi meu pai que me deu eu simplesmente amava trabalhar nele, e com o tempo restaurei o bonito ao ponto de virar placa placa e virou, mas que emoção que foi andar na velocidade da via quando tinha terminado de amaciar o motor que passou por uma retifica completa. Logo depois daquilo já descobri que tinha que trocar os freios e que tinha um burrinho quebrado porque quando freiei há incríveis 100 ou 110 km/h parecia que tava na curva do Senna do Autódromo de Interlagos. Bons tempos!
@@masteroogway3614 No shit dumbass. A car that can have the wheel suddenly turned the opposite direction at 100mph isn't going to fuck up turning one inch at 280mph. Also fuck your kmph and overused little skull emoji.
When the rocket car SSC2 set the record for speed on the ground (over 1000km/h), it swerved slightly and the driver corrected. There was a 4d simulator experience at the car museum in Coventry 10 years ago, wonder if it's still there
That car seems so sturdy at 280, the engine sounds so comfortable just sitting at its redline, the lower gears seemed like he was at a quarter throttle, honestly what a beautiful machine.
I remember as a kid watching a video of the Lamborghini Diablo being maxed at 320Kph and thinking it was insane...this car seems to go quicker at 300 amazing
it seems pretty clear that only at that speed WOT is applied. With this ridiculous amount of power you can't do that safely at lower speeds. He even starts to accelerate very carefully until he reaches about 200 km/h.
When driving a multimillion dollar car, putting the hanmer down ever with that much power is really not a great idea, alot of people wont get “why the 0-60 0-100mph was so slow, but me and you, we are like super nerds jk
Man, I'd love to the fuel gauge and temperature gauge during this run. I'd be curious to see if it had any cooling issues and also how much fuel it was using for this run.
much slower top speed and awful sounding engine, koeinigsegg is the like the Porsche 911 of hypercars, its performance above anything else and thats period, no hate btw but I do stand by my points
@@jimomega381 No. Quanto maior a velocidade e potência, maior é o consumo. Foi só um exemplo de quanto é rápido esse carro. Normalmente gastamos 7 horas entre as duas cidades.
It’s actually not that good to have high levels of downforce if you want to achieve high levels of speed. Mostly because downforce=drag(air resistance), so the air pushing against your car actually prevents you from going faster. You want to make the car as slippery (meaning aerodynamic) as possible so it can pass through the air more cleanly and hence achieve better too speed ^^
The way some objects seem to simply appear out of nothing (I guess for not being captured at first due to the frame rate) makes it look like a videogame haha
sim, o que reparei é que na velocidade máxima, o som é de rotação alta, mas não de motor "esguelando" como se estivesse pra explodir kk, dá pra ver que pra mecânica do carro foi tranquilo, se bobear tem até limitação eletrônica aí pra não deixar o cara levantar vôo hehe
The car felt like warping the space a little bit, at 450+. Imagine flying mach 1 while hugging flat grass lands which would feel like you're driving a car and not a jet.
