The new Koenigsegg is going to be announced tomorrow ... its a hybrid that puts out 1500hp (700 of that from the electric motors) ... it is apparently capable of 0-248mph in LESS THAN 20 SECONDS. Jeebus ... almost wonder if you'd need a pressurized flight suit to drive it.

price tag..... 3 mill..... I bet
And this will probably just be the first version of this model, too. Can't wait for the full reveal tomorrow.

Freaking incredible! It's gonna be amazing, we live in an amazing time.
Lowest recall company last year. Only one recall for the whole year. Government Motors 26.7 million plus vehicles . You get what you pay for. What's the saying, cry once?

Yeah...that's a really valid comparison. GM built almost 10 million cars worldwide in 2013 alone. Cars that the average person in most developed countries can own and drive. Koenigsegg has built a little over 100 cars in the history of the company...that only a handful of people in the entire world can afford. I'd like to know what the stats are for each company on the numbers of cars produced vs the number recalled over the history of each company. I bet they'd be pretty close.
I think I'll keep my Silverado rather than rush out and buy a multi-million dollar car that will go fast and do little else in terms of practicality. If it gets recalled GM will take care of it at no charge to me other than the minor inconvenience of having to make a service appointment. So, yeah...you do get what you pay for.
Having said that, the cars produced by Koenigsegg are nothing short of amazing in terms of technology and capability in the speed department.
I'll be interested in seeing the new Koenigsegg showing up on Top Gear. It was certainly entertaining watching The Stig jamming a tire into the grille during an off-track encounter on an older model.
The Koenigsegg CC is still attributed as the highest speeding ticket ever. 242 in a 75mph zone in Texas (2003).

Okay, I will ask. What was used in Texas to catch it speeding?
Maybe a GM?

Didn't they just put out a car the ONE ONE or some such thing? One HP per one LB?
Still badass.

At 242 MPH the car would out run the Apache ..... but not the hellfire......
The only way anything GM builds is going over 200 mph is in the hold of a C130...

Or if it gets massaged by the Ring Brothers.

They don't have the radiator for my Beetle, either. :(

Not really playing by the rules, as GM didn't build them that way.

Ya ruined the joke.
At first I figured you picked up a SuperBeetle to tinker with. Then just assumed you had a New Beetle you never told us about. :p
Looks awesome, too bad only a few folks can afford one

This thing is far from environmentally friendly. These hypercars are just leveraging the high torque electric motors for low-end grunt and the gas powered engine takes care of the rest.

So since it is a "hybrid" would it qualify for a tax credit ? LOL

This car is every bit as environmentally friendly as a Prius. So you're right :p

Show me a Prius with an 1100bhp gasoline engine, and you'll be right. [Coffee]
