    the front looks like a Celica..

    OT:Koenigsegg CCR




    The CCR goes from rest to 100km/h in a staggering 3.2 seconds – which is a good second faster than a V8 supercar – and storms on to a seemingly unfeasible 395km/h. an attempt will be made to push the car beyond 400km/h, and set another Guinness record, later this year

    Let's put these figures into perspective. A V12 426kW Lamborghini Murcielago takes 3.7 seconds to hit 100km/h and has a quarter mile time of 11.8 seconds.

    The frankly frightening Ferrari Enzo, again powered by a vicious V12, with 485kW, does the dash to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.4 seconds.

    Both these cars are acknowledged as bullet-fast blitzers, yet both of them would be left looking faintly silly by the Koenigsegg.
    The engine is a 4.7-litre supercharged V8 that produces 601kW (that's more than two SS Commodores) and 920Nm of torque (which is more than a jumbo jet engine, probably). Obviously, it's no ordinary V8 we're talking about here. In fact, the engine is made of super lightweight materials, including aerospace specified aluminium alloy and titanium.

    In total, the engine weighs just 215kg.

    The Koenigsegg, which makes its first ever appearance down under at AIMS, gets its tarmac-tearing performance to the ground through a six-speed sequential manual gearbox and massive 19-inch front and 20-inch rear tyres.

    Toyota is probably trying to reap some benefits from its F1 program... The engine has a similar configuration sa F1 car nila. Its like how the BMW M5 is being marketed as having an engine derived from F1 technology.
