As said earlier in another tread I finally was able to get my ride in a Koenigsegg CCR today and I have to say...WOW!!!!!!!
I was also able to sneak up real close to the 388 kmh record car as there was two Koenigsegg's on the stand.
This car has moved far up on my "top list" and I was surprised over how much tighter, aggressive and awesome this car was! The car is a technical engeneering masterpiece and it's way better than any pictures can ever show or review ever describe. F1 still is my favorite, but this beauty is way up there with the F1 and the F50GT.

And I'm positive all you F1 morons (like me) would love it if you saw it as well. This car has most of the things that makes us F1 lovers. It lacks a little in the heritage and classical design area, but is definately one of the most awesome machinery ever made! :grinyes:

I saw the one at Gumball, and I have seen one at Harrods in London, where it was on display for one day. It's an amazing car, but the front styling is too bland. The interior is also ok, kind of quirky with the semi circular dash and round central console interface. But yes, overall it's very nice. I like it's rear and 3/4 view better than the McLaren F1, but not better than the F1 GTR.

Here's some images from a video my friend shot of me.

Unfourtanely, I've never actually been inside a McLaren, but I've been up close for detaillooking. I've seen 4 Mac. in real and I'm hoping I will be able to score a test drive some day!

Then I would only miss the Enzo and F50GT :grinyes:

Some other beauties, including the 388 car.

Well, I do have some vidz. i f someone could host them.
Completely amazing! :rofl:

Thorst --- you have a video PM :)

Ok, thanks to theflinger I'm able to share some of my Koenigsegg experience with all my friends here at AF. It's really cool that Peloton got the McLaren, And I got the Koenigsegg CCR rides so close together.

I've edited the clips pretty much to have them in a size thats fast to download. I've shared 4 completely different clips so that you all can get a feeling of things.
It was impossible to hold the camera steady during that accelaretion clip.
