On another note did Koenigsegg 7.34 on the Ring

We dont have any official word on McLren ring time?





- What the CCR shows in performance, seems to be from another world.

- No Supertest candidate has gone around the track with such speed as the Swedish "Hammer".

- No one can doubt the engine force and aerodynamic qualities of the Koenigsegg CCR.

- Even with a third of the power to spare, open corners become sharp, and straights become curves, due to the sheer speed of the CCR.

- With a lateral G force of 1.35 the Koenigsegg CCR is on the physical limit of what road legal tires can manage. With racing tires this vehicle would reach racing car levels of grip.

- With 313 km/h over the Döttinger Höhe, 267 Km/h thru the difficult Schwedenkreuz and reaching 224 Km/h just before braking at the end of Zielgarten in Hockenheim are figures recognizable as records.

- Not only does the CCR show text book like behaviour on the limit, shift of load does hardly disturb the car.

- Even sliding with turned of traction control, the car is easy controllable.

- There is no hint of any nervousness in the steering at high speeds.

- The engine is a fantastically user friendly being. The engine characteristics are very similar to a normally aspirated one, since it develops the explosive force evenly over the revband.

- The unusually crisp sounding engine dominates the scene, with the same authority as a Jet engine.
