    Well as many of you know the guy in norway semi 'crashed' his koenigsegg at the track. Well the first CCX was delivered yesterday to a guy in Stockholm, guess how long it took him to crash it?

    Well 1 day.

    Those cars are so damn powerful, I wouldn't be suprised to see a lot more incidents like this.

    Only makes it that much more desirable and collectible!
    In 20 years time it shall be known as the millenium's widowmaker. Woot!

    thing is that this was the first swedish sold koenigsegg, and that is a special event because the koenigsegg´s are manufactured here in Sweden.

    Translated it for you:

    Koenigsegg in crash on Ingarö

    The happiness didn´t last long for the new proud owner of the koenigsegg which was premiere shown outside Noppes for exklusive guests. The 6 million (swedish crones) car crashed the day after on it´s way to Stockholm from Ingarö. Happiness comes, hapiness goes. The one that maybe enjoyed this the most was the car importer Callisma who maybe will be selling another one to the insurance company, hehe.

    I'm thinking they need to permanently add the spoiler that they added to the Top Gear car.

    That sucks, but it doesn't look totaled. I hope, but I'm sure the driver is fine.

    ps. The color combo on that looks great, Black on Red is hot.

    and which is better the CCR or the CCX?

    Yea, that color combo is just great!
    The CCX is essentialy a CCR that is leagle on this side of the pond. They both boast the same numbers.

    I guess 800 hp and RWD is too much for most people...

    Indeed it does. Not sure if that one is as well suited as the TG one though. But that front tire could have shredded.

    I heard the car was the exact same as the one that was "crashed" by the Norwegian a few weeks ago.

    that's another reason why VEYRON weighs more than those raw cars
    to make it user friendly.
