The World’s Record Breaking Cars

In pubs around the world patrons (mainly men) while away hours drinking beer and ale often impressing their buddies with a lot of useless information. Ever since the boys’ from Canada produced Trivial Pursuit it has become the ubiquitous game many play. Endless, sometimes absurd, questions become the focus of many social gatherings. Who has scored the most goals in football? What is the world’s highest building? Who owns the most expensive diamond? What are the names of Donald Duck’s nephews?

We are about to present some of the best and least in the car world.

The Koenigsegg Agera is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg since 2011. The name comes from the Swedish word “agera” which means “to act”.
