wow. official na pala yung sa koenigsegg?

kulit ng name nila for that car sa top gear. something like koenigggggssssseeggggggg or something like that. :D

[ILuvDetailing]

338kms/hr. wow what an adrenaline rush.

[nicolodeon]

Yep. Malupit yang ride na ya. 0-60 in 3.18 seconds. Quarter mile, 10 seconds flat. Carbon fibre ang air intake, tapos titanium ang exhaust system. Ang lupit din ng presyo: $ 320,000.

Hmmh... someone finally did the test? Link naman, oh!

But the McLaren tested didn't hit its limit! The record-setting McLaren hit 384 last time!

the upcoming quad-turbo, 1000hp Bugatti Veyron is aiming to break the 400kph mark.

[nicolodeon]

Yep. Bugatti is aming for that elusive 400 kph mark. Only 300 units of this super-car would be produced. The price? An astounding $ 1,000,000.

[niky]

Okay... the McLaren hit its limit in a straight line, while the Koenigsegg surpassed the same speed on Nardo... now I'm impressed. :whoa:

The Bugatti? I'll be surprised if it even runs... they're setting an engineering goal that's too complicated... the Koenigsegg makes almost the same power with 1/10th the hardware.

[nicolodeon]

I'm just surprised that they did not include in the tests a few more astounding supercars like the '05 Pagani Zonda C12 F.

[nugundam93]

i'm gonna wait for the veyron...

1000hp+awd...

[nicolodeon]

Koenigsegg was used to be known as Koenig. Way back in '90-'91, they produced a supercar based on the Porsche 962 chassis. They named it C92. Back then, the car was hitting 378-380 kp/h on test tracks. That car cost $ 1M back in '90-'91.

But I would also wait for the veyron.

hmmm...what about the saleen s7? ford gt?

Koenigsegg was used to be known as Koenig.

so in tagalog, koenigsegg is "itlog ni Koenig"?

[mazdamazda]

hmmm...what about the saleen s7? ford gt?

afaik, the gt tops out at "only" 200mph.

[nicolodeon]

Korek si Mazda. The 1967 Ford GT Mark IV tops at 220 mph or at 354 kph. Last 2002, Ford had a GT 40 concept car in mind, reminiscent of the '60s GT pero dehins na-produce. Yung 2005 Saleen S7 twin-turbo, nasa 215-220 mph ang top speed, pero ang 0-60 is 2.8 seconds.

nicolodeon... may bago na pong Ford GT. $150K ang price.

[nicolodeon]

Tsk. Magpa-ampon na lang ako kay Fafa Bill Gates para makabili ako nyan. Yoohoo!Calling fafa bill.

[scarab]

...ano ba engine ng koenig? diba benz V12 AMG?

[mazdamazda]

there's also the upcoming Chrysler ME-12... carbon fiber body, quad-turbo AMG V12 engine, 850hp...

[niky]

AFAIK, the ME12 isn't slated for production anymore. They're re-focusing their energies on producing the "Firepower!" coupe.
