Koenigsegg sets new 0-300-0 km/h record
« on: 19 June 2015, 10:58:34 »

An impressive 3.24 seconds quicker than their old car so far, but they expect a bit more when they go for the official record soon. :) :) :)

Lord Opti needs to visit his dovecot and place an order sooner rather than later if he doesn't want to be at the back of the queue. The 0-300 km/h in 11.922 seconds performance he should find adequate and it will save on the cost of a remap for the fugly asthmatic wheeze box. :y :y :y

If only there were a point to it all. It's hardly performance that you can use on the road, and, on a track, it'll be hampered by its' lardy 1400kg weight. You'd be much better off with something a third of the weight, with a modest engine, that doesn't cost Greece's defecit whenever you make contact with something. ::)

.. not that cost, or any kind of reasoning, comes into it, of course.

Well, naturally. :-[

Although, with that budget, you could do better, of course.

Which would be the bigger pussy magnet in Sloane Square? ::) ::) ::)

I'm sure our worldly learned Lord can answer that, which is why he wants two. :) :) :)

What's most impressive, the time taken to get to 300kmh or the time taken to get back to zero ?
