Re: The worlds fastets car: Koenigsegg CC-R beats the McLaren F1 at Nardo 2005!

Some great news today!
One of my steph-dads friends is buying a Koenigsegg!
I will do my best to get a ride in it I assure you!!!
I will certainly share my experience if I manage to fix a ride!
This guy is a good friend of our family and he has his vacation place a couple of hundred meters from ours:-)

How many cars have they sold in Sweden, and in total?
When do they release there next model?
Is it true that they are aiming for Le Mans?
Do they accept any students for "examensjobb"?

Do they test in the supercold part of Sweden (Lapland) where other automakers test their cars?
How soon till US certification is achieved?
Why not hinge the doors higher to avoid the danger of hitting them on curbs?

Good point. Not that we want to have practicality with these million dollar exotics.. but c'mon. What's the use if I get a ticket for parking too far away from the curb everytime I drive the car.

As I've always said.. that door design.. leaves much to be desired... It looks too much like someone got a kit from a mail order company.

Re: The worlds fastets car: Koenigsegg CC-R beats the McLaren F1 at Nardo 2005!

Why on earth do they use a V8 in the CCR, when almost all "true" supercars have a V12? (Weight?)
Why not use a naturally aspirated engine?

Why, ooo why do thay have such a faggy thing as a gemstone in the stick!!!!!????????
That's something the fabuolous 5 would come up with!

When do they license a 1:18 model of this nice looking car?
