From Denmark and produced in an ultra-limited edition of 50, the Agil won\u2019t be available until next year \u2014 but visitors to the auto show can get a preview.<\/p>\n<p>Jens Sverdrup, executive chairman of Zenvo Automotive told The Post: \u201cI feel that a lot of the hypercar companies go wrong because they have crazy performance but you can\u2019t drive the car through rush hour in Manhattan. \u201cI want high top-speed numbers, but I don\u2019t want to sacrifice lower speed performance,\u201d he said of the Agil, which can easily top 200 mph. The car also has a Quiet Mode to muffle the sound of its roaring engine. \u201cThat way you can come home quietly and leave quietly,\u201d Sverdrup added.<\/p>\n<p>The Zenvo Aurora Agil V12 is hotly anticipated but not scheduled for delivery until next year.

But the real fun begins when you shift into Drift Mode, which has three levels in an ascending slide. \u201cIt disables traction control and safety features that would prevent you from drifting,\u201d Anthony Perez, of Lamborghini Greenwich, told The Post. <\/p>\n<p>That means a driver can purposely make the car lose traction at the back, making it slide sideways through corners. Perez hit drift mode at an automotive gathering in Portugal. \u201cI did level one and went sideways in a controlled manner,\u201d he recalled. \u201cAt level two, I completely spun out.\u201d And the top level? Perez laughed, \u201cThey wouldn\u2019t let us do level three.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Lamborghini Temerario goes from electric to gas as the speed ascends from zero to 60 MPH in just 2.6 seconds.

You have to pay a premium to acquire it,\u201d Aleksey Katkov, exotic sales executive at Manhattan Motor Cars, told The Post.<\/p>\n<p>Crafted in Sweden, the car was produced in an edition of 80, with only a third or so of them reaching US shores, one in the collection of tech boss Sam Altman. The\u00a0Regera\u00a0is completely hand built with a top speed of 255 miles per hour, which is actually limited by the manufacturer to stop anyone going faster. \u201cThe pickup is instantaneous and you feel like you are in a fighter jet,\u201d said Katkov. <\/p>\n<p>And on the side of the car, \u201cThere is the [logo] of a ghost,\u201d said Katkov. \u201cIt represents all of Sweden\u2019s fighter pilots,\u201d placed there by CEO Christian von Koenigsegg.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a pricy used car, this Koenigsegg, which goes for around $3 million, might be for you.

It is the GT model, with the highest performance. Only 500 are being made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While electric cars can feel sterile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bentleymotors.com\/en\/models\/supersports.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Supersports,<\/a> has what Katkov calls \u201ca fun factor built into them,\u201d adding: \u201cYou are actually driving a fun car as opposed to driving a computer.
