Christian von Koenigsegg (center), CEO and founder of Koenigsegg, a Swedish car maker, stands with two unidentified Michelin representatives at his company’s record-breaking day on Nov. 4 on Highway 160, near the Tecopa turnoff. Koenigsegg’s Agera RS model toppled speed records for a production car at an average speed of 277.9 mph. The record was the average of a downhill and uphill ride on an 11-mile stretch along the highway.
