After accidentally setting a new production-car lap record at the Suzuka circuit in Japan, the 2015 Koenigsegg One:1 “megacar” continues to do extraordinary things. The latest was setting a new 0-300-0-km/h (0-186-0-mph) record of an incredible 17.95 seconds, and lucky for us, the whole thing was caught on video.
The attempt took place at Koenigsegg’s vast factory test track, a disused runway originally built for the Swedish Air Force. The One:1 was fitted with a Vbox system for science, and some well-executed donuts were done to get some heat in the rear tires. Then, Koenigsegg test driver Robert Serwanski punches the throttle, and the thing is off the line like a scalded car. It only takes the 1,340-horsepower Koenigsegg 11.92 seconds to knock-off 0-300 km/h, while getting back to zero takes just 6.03 seconds. With deceleration like that it’s a wonder Serwanski’s eyes are still attached to his skull.
Oh, and just to make things fun, he made most of the run with his hands off the wheel.
"Look Ma... no hands!"
