1160 hp Koenigsegg in the snow in the Swiss Alps

OK, I do understand the guy's excitement. I love all things Porsche, but I think Koenigsegg is making some of the hottest, sexiest cars around today. Seeing one running crazy-wide snow tires in the snow in the Alps is very cool. And he's hanging out with someone driving a Singer 911. Props to the owner of the car for driving the thing hell or high water.
