j_jza80 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I would rather buy all my favourite cars, a hangar to keep them in, and pocket the change for a few years running costs Although I'd love to borrow one for a road trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 You'd buy secondhand?! What's the fit & finish on these newer Koenigseggs like? I had a poke around an older one a while ago, and I thought it was pretty poorly assembled, lots of the details, including the switchgear and rear lights, were straight out of a kit car magazine.

Incredible. The Regera also looks like a real game-changer. Doesn't have a gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennK Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Just a big electric motor... The Chiron has a W16 real engine. And quad turbos. Imagine the noise at full throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Agreed on the Regera. It's the one I'd go for if my numbers came up. Bugatti looks a bit odd. [ATTACH=CONFIG]209724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]209725[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Regera all day long. I love everything Koenigsegg stand for, the way they go about things and how Christian Von Koenigsegg conducts himself and invents good ideas, or introduces already available concepts into their way of developing.

Alex_GT Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Why don't they put more development into bringing the weight down? It has 1500hp, but it weighs 2 ton, and it looks like just to top it off. Sounds familiar. I'd rather have an EB110 over this or the Veyron. The Chiron and the Veyron have all the appeal in the advertising and "statistics", the cars themselves are just a formality, they came up with the stats then built one of the most hideous cars ever created. I know you can abstract the production of pretty much any car down to that level, but most cars aren't built just to be a gimmick. And even then they still that up with the Veyron as they lost a load of money on each one.s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Why don't they... Why don't YOU put some effort into communicating without appearing to have a personality disorder? Swearing doesn't make you look cool, you know. It just annoys the people who have to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Looks nice, doesn't do an awful lot for me though. I'm with everyone else on the Regera, that thing will be an engineering marvel. There's a video on YouTube of Mr Keoniggsegg testing it with (what's his name) YouTube car blogger. The way it all opens up like a transformer is amazing.

Style Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The gearbox-less engineering that powers the Regera is awesome, would be my choice over the Chiron all day. Chiron is still a marvel in its own right though, it consumes 1m3 of air a second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiron is still a marvel in its own right though, it consumes 1m3 of air a second I read 60,000 litres of air per minute, at maximum performance/RPM. That's 15,850 gallons...
