Koenigsegg in Guinness Book of World Records

I'm proud to be Swedish!

Koenigsegg in Guinness Book of World Records

Koenigsegg has received a Guinness Record for the most powerful production car in the world. Koenigsegg is replacing the Mclaren F1 for this record!

Christian von Koenigsegg said he is happy that Guinness has recognized the CC and that he will strive for the official top speed record as well.

NEWS!
A Koenigsegg CC-R will be introduced in Geneva with 806 HP and a topspeed over 400 km/h

Great car - one of the Gumball drivers had one and it broke down - alot - during the San Francisco - Miami run. He hired a crew to follow him and do repairs! There was one situation where his clutch just gave in and he needed it replaced pronto - half an hour later he was up and running

That Murcielago is really looking good to me

Asides from the Veyron. The only part I like about the car, the engine, isn't even made by Chrylser but by AMG. Asides from the amazing engine what does it have to offer? What is ground breaking about it?

Edit: Read the story behind the Koenigsegg, and the Pagani, then tell me if it even matters if the ME 4-12 is faster than it/them

Why put the "top car" in front of a third rate fighter bomber. The same nationality is not a good enough reason.

Is'nt that weird. Something's up with the server the pics are hosted on. Close this browser session and open up a new one then come back to the post and the pics will be there. Strange!!!!
