Man. That will blow my toupee off of my head. Oops, I don't have a toupee.

That is some car.

Thanks for sharing. I bet that has some G forces in the acceleration.

Just keep in mind my friend it's 4,7 and it produces 806 hp i am just astonished by the power it produces from such a small engine

That's a serious engine there and the G forces are pretty amazing

Glad that you enjoyed the video

With the help of FI.


Great video though - I watched the video with the requested rear wing, very impressive!

Forced Induction, ie, supercharging or turbocharging. In the Case of the Koenigsegg, it had two superchargers, which is why the "small" V8 engine has such a large BHP.

Looks like a fun car to drive, however it demands a lot of respect to drive it fast. I can't imagine why such a light car would have the bodywork to produce front downforce but none in the rear

Truly a marvel - thanks for sharing

Take a look at the new thread

A car that is 1000 times more manageable than the koenigsegg
