If I were Bill Gates, or an oil billionaire, long before I'd buy a Ferrari, I'd buy an Koenigsegg. It's a fascinating manufacturer and a truly unique car.

In the early days they used Ford engines. I'm sure they were influenced heavily by their experience with Ford engines. Also, did you see the flat black one in the video. I actually really like the white, blue and red on the Agera R, but that flat black one looks like pure evil.

A Koenigsegg is my pipe dream as far as cars go.

I had a suspicion they did, it looks too close to be a coincidence. I know the DOHC is pretty tough when beefed up with forged internals. I also recall another foreign supercar maker that used 03-04 cobra engines. It could have been Koenigsegg now that I think about it.

Still though, I'd have them leave the paint off the car and just clear over the woven design.

Just to give you an idea where that little car from Sweden is at, this is vs. a F458, which is about the same as ZR1 in the quarter (easily faster with average drivers).

And it gets it to the ground with near instantaneous shifts. It also only weighs like 3,200lbs AIR.
