If any car is going to match the Enzo, this would be it.

But does it come with a pair of driving shoes that match the interior like the Zonda?

Oh please. That's so :gay:

I'm not a big fan of this car because of its engine. The original prototype supposedly had a 3.8 V12 with 550bhp @ 9000rpm. That to me would have been much more interesting than a Ford V8....

oh, but i beg to differ sir, just reading evo as they compared the koenigsegg vs enzo vs zonda, evo stated "for raw gut-churning accelerative fury, enigmatic image and stylistic originality, the koenigsegg is king"

hmm, lets drop some stats shall we :naughty:

koenigsegg
655bhp
553lbs ft
0-60 3.3
max speed 240


enzo
650bhp
585lb ft
0-60 3.5
top speed 217mph

I don't know how they couldn't say that the Enzo or Zonda arent sytylisitcally original. All three cars make bold statements in their originality. And where did you get your stats from anway? Road and Track and I believe Car and Driver tested the car with a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds. And your torque figure is wrong as well. That would be 485 lb ft. at 5500 rpm.

you know the problem with posting figures is that everyone looks at different resources, those specs came straight out of evo magazine.
as they tested, the koenigsegg hurt the enzo in speed.
but i agree with you on the other stuff

Evo tested the Enzo at 3.4 0-60 in an earlier edition. And Ferrari's own website says 485 lb/ft. I doubt they would get it wrong.

In that article they also said that the Enzo had the least steering feel and feedback. I thought that was quite interesting.

yeah, and all in all, the guy said he would rather have the enzo rather than the other 2.
i like the enzo better, but still looking at the specs
and 1 guy driving both cars and saying that it was clearly beating the enzo in speed, kinda makes me think, maybe it is faster.
242mph top speed, just to beat the F1
0-60 in 3.3. .... i don't know.

I've read the article many times. Never does he say the Koenigsegg is faster. Also when a car mag doesn't have their own test data they very rarely look to another publications info. They just quote from the manufacturer.

The Enzo has been tested:

0-60 3.3/3.14(motortrend extrapolation*)
0-100: 6.6
1/4 mile: 11.1/10.8(*)

The Koenigsegg has never actually gotten the numbers they claim. The best acceleration test was by topgear.

0-60: 3.7
0-100: 8.1
0-150: 16.6

in comparison the Enzo does 0-150 in 13.1 seconds which was done by autocar which is currently one of the Enzo's slowest tests.

As for the lack of driving feel that is completely unique to this article. Other magazines Car, R&T, C&D all say that it has incredible feel at any appreciable speed. Maybe it had to do with the wetness in the article.

I know this is a late response, but might I just say that that CC8S is cheaper than an Enzo, even the CCR is, and the CCR is dramatically faster than the enzo

i think the Koenigsegg is faster in a straight line, because it has 655 hp in a 2500 lb car, where as the Enzo weighs just over 3100 lbs and pulls 667

Who cares how fast the cars are in a straight line, or what the completely useless top speed figure they claim to be able to hit is? What matters is lap times - something Ferrari is historically dominant at.

You do know that there are two other koenigsegg's right? With all of you talking about only 655hp you’re talking about the CC8S that has been out of there production run for a few years now. The koenigsegg CCR (using there chevy engine) took the top speed record away from Mclaren. Then the bugatti veyron took it away from them but that’s why they made the koenigsegg CCX (now using there new engine, that they made themselves now).

U NOOB its 0-60 for the enzo in 3.3 and the koenigsegg is like 3.2 or sumthing and top speed for the enoz is liek 230mph and koenigsegg would destroy an enzo in a drag race it wouldnt destroy it around a track the koenigsegg would get raped around the nurburing sjut because the enzos breaking handling cornering is much better i still love the koenigsegg but the enzo is jsut a better car

what the hell are u on sumthing? enzo 0-60 is 3.3secs professioals can get it in 3.2secs a normal person they say can get it in 3.6 3.3 is like the average tho and u cant just consider speed and torque and hp thiers handling cornering and breaking which enzo is much much better at than the koenigsegg ccx in kstraight line koenigsegg ccx would probably beat the enzo but on the nurburing or sumthign it would get destroyed on top gear it dosent have the best time around the track but i no it can o mhc better than that u would have to get use to the car dont get me wrong tho i love the koenigsegg CCX one of my favroite cars (sorry if i made spelling errorss)

dude ok listen theirs looks what u like better the koenigsegg has problems in it i saw a video on (watch thise video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKZkx2QDLow)) it has engine problems dosent look as great isnt as good on corners and well a Ferrari is a ferrari and according to top gear once u go from example they gave a aston martin to ferrari it feels so much better driving the car it self feels liek you have gone 200years into the future even if the keonigsegg was faster i would take the enzo and i no the enzo can beat it on a trakc liek laguna seca or the nurburing jsut need to get use to it. oyea ferrari has quicker shifting it holds the record for the worlds quickest shifting. :naughty:
