Koenigsegg has congratulated Bugatti on its recent record of 304mph in a prototype Chiron while also noting how a high-speed" version of the Jesko the company"s rival hypercar might go even higher than 300mph. "We want to congratulate them," a Koenigsegg spokesperson told TopGear.com. "It"s a great achievement. If the homologated production version of the same car can drive faster than 284.55mph or 277.9mph as average speed in two directions then it will take the crown from the Agera RS as the fastest production car until now." Koenigsegg of course, set a record with that customer Agera RS back in 2017. Koenigsegg test driver Niklas Lilja managed a two-way average of 277.9mph on a closed road in Nevada.
