wait i haven't watched the video yet, but has this car finally taken the fastest-top-speed-of-a-production-car from the McLaren F1 yet? that was their main goal in making that car.
actually i have a particular fondness for the Koenigsegg, not cuz i like the car, but cuz of the story behind it. it's a good read, i will try to find an article somewhere.
basically: high-school student in Sweden has idea for supercar. wants to make it hella fast and give Sweden a supercar reputation. petitions government til they give him grants and funding, he starts small company to work on his car, and engineers from all over Sweden (Saab engineers, aerospace engineers, etc) pitch in (for free at first) to help build it.
Gordon Murray was quoted as saying something to the extent of "good luck to him, but he'll never overtake the F1."
Edit: ohhh sweet i love Top Gear lol
