Let’s just go ahead and call this supercar Friday. Next up on our list: the Koenigsegg Agera, a power miser boasting 910 horses and 811 lb-ft of torque. That performance is derived from Koenigsegg’s 4.7-liter V8 engine. Combine the power with carbon-fiber/kevlar/aluminum honeycomb construction limiting weight to just 2,832 lbs., and you get to 62 in just 3.1 seconds, double that in 8.9 seconds and don’t stop accelerating until you hit a whopping 245 + mph top speed.

Carlsson began with a Mercedes SL 600 and sought to design a car that offers exclusivity and performance while remaining ‘practical’ enough to drive around the town every day.
