All Agera One's are sold out. No surprise. Four of the six are sold to customers in China. No surprise again.

Exclusive: more on Koenigsegg's 273mph One:1 - BBC Top Gear

UGH........SERIOUSLY timpo just ruined a this simply nice thread

In fact, it was the Chinese who initiated the One:1 concept. "It was actually our Chinese distributor in Beijing who told us he had a group of customers who want a track car," Petre tells us. "They had every other kind of car, but they wanted a Koenigsegg track car."
holy smokes, these guys have taste

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

Thought I'd share this;

Drive did an Inside Koenigsegg before and it was a great mini series. They're doing it again this time with one of the craziest cars to come out in years. Enjoy.

That's a seriously epic car, but how many people are good enough to actually be able to drive it, and I mean REALLY drive it?

Personally, I love seeing cars like this that push the boundaries at any cost! Looking forward to see some real driving numbers from this thing! Amazing craftsmanship!

Yep, they already have the Agera R for sale at Manhattan Motorcars and soon the One:1 will be sold there too.

I don't even want this car to be compared to the Venom.

The cars aren't even close to being on a similar level. The One:1 is a ground-up, entirely in-house developed, originally designed car with technological innovation poured into it. The one:1 is stiff competition for other hyper car firms, its level of refinement and technology equals and surpasses them in many aspects.

But the Venom? It has an LSX engine, something designed, and manufactured by GM. Its transmission is (according to wiki) designed and manufactured by Ricardo. The brakes have big Brembo logos on them. The exterior body shape was drawn by Lotus. What on that car is actually originally engineered and manufactured (even to order) by them?

The level of knowledge required, the development of new technology and ideas, and originality of Koenigsegg, McLaren, Ferrari's hypercars make them so much more significant and admirable

LSX engine? LSX 454R Crate Engine - Race Engine | Chevrolet

I think the Venom has TwinTurbo LS7. But anyways...

Americans are known to take British cars and give it a big engine, widebody kit, and turn it into something else.

The biggest example is modified AC Ace.
So buy a small and lightweight British sportscar like AC Ace.


Then Carroll Shelby decided to mod it.
Did the V8 engine swap, widebody kit, big tire, new paint job, etc.
and gave a new name, Shelby Cobra.


Monster Miata was similar idea too, although it was Japanese, not British.
V8 swap, widebody kit, etc...


In summary, I think Venom GT is a pure American way of lightweight & big engine combination.
You take this little British car


and turn into this

The sad fact is that non of these cars will ever see a raceway because of how limited it is. Why develop such a powerful car that no one will use to it's full potential? When the hell is koenigsegg gonna start using all this technology for racing? Or is there focus to simply make cars works of art? Either way, this car is unreal.

They actually did try to enter racing with the CCGT but by the time the car was completed, the rules changed (I believe it was for the FIA GT1 series) so the car was never allowed to race.

But I think that their car technology will eventually trickle down to others and even mainstream cars. For example, they are working on a sping-less overhead valve system for engines and they are 3D printing titanium components and they did develop technology to allow a pump gas engine to develop 1300+ hp from a 5.0L twin-turbo V8 and still offer a 3 year warranty.

So just because it's not racing doesn't mean it's not advancing technology for all cars. But I agree with you, it would be sweet to see the One:1 or a reincarnation of the CCGT go racing.
