cool

i got an invitation from koenigsegg to test drive the ccr near the factory. price in US is $495,000.

invitation?

no you didn't

actually he probably did, i did too, i'll explain why i did, probably close to the same thing for uhussain

a couple months ago i emailed Koenigsegg asking for some official information on the CCR becuase i had seen several different sets of numbers, somehow they seemed to think i was interested in buying one (i would love to have one, but am in high school with close to no money) so i (and probably uhussain too) am on a list of people interested in buying the CCR so they sent out an invitation to test drive it

here's a copy of the email:

Dear Ladies & Gentleman:

Thank you for your continued interest in our cars.

Based on your requests, from September 6th to the 10th we are meeting with
groups of customers in Angelholm Sweden to visit the factory and test drive
our new CCR model.

If you would like to join us please let us know and we will help you with the arrangements.

We are flying on British Airways to London and then on to Copenhagen,
Denmark. Copenhagen Airport is about one hour away from the factory. Transportation from the Airport to the Hotel Skansen has been arranged. We will be happy to reserve your rooms for you or you can book directly at: http://www.hotelskansen.se/

We cross the bridge between Denmark and Sweden and we are there.

For those of you who come with your own aircraft the Angelholm Airport was
a NATO Fighter base and can accommodate large jets. You can taxi right to our facility.

We are located directly on the Airport Our test track is one of the inactive landing strips.

One of the most important things that I almost forgot to mention: Based
on the number of orders coming In, we will switch to a production line setup. Based on the increase in production quantity we expect
larger discounts from our suppliers and additional labor savings totaling approximately $80,000 per car, which we will pass on to our customers. The new price should be around $495,000.

Our CCR test car will go to England on September 11th to Jeremy Clarkson from top Gear For his BBC report on the SuperCar scene. Our CC8S top speed record of 174MPH on their runway is unbroken. However, the short go-cart style race track record was taken over by a Porsche Carrera GT.
We want to take it back and better our top speed. The CCR will also
go to EVO Magazine and Fifth Gear for testing. We will inform all of you interested in our top speed endeavors to please request continuous updates.

If you have any questions or need help with the arrangements,please
don't hesitate to call my mobile phone number. It is: 561 305 2500.



Sincerely,

Michael H. Schuttemeyer



PS:
Our cars are considered the fastest production cars in the world.
Here are some technical details:

(they had a long list of details here on the CC8S and CCR which is also on their website)
