To answer a few of the most recent questions:
Smog: yes there is a Ca smog spec, sticker and all. yes it's a 3.8, achieved thru CARB
Yes, there are smog legal cars putting miles down in Ca. I've put over 500miles test miles on them. It took a hell of an effort but the team did a great job getting it done. It's legit. Last I knew they were doing another CARB program for the 4.0.
Emissions equipment: I won't get into technical details as that info is out there. You can read about their engine option specs on their website
Remember they do 3.6, 3.8 & 4.0 engines.
Cats are used as well.
Most of the cars are driven hard and often by their owners. Unlike the first few cars that didn't get run hard, they do now. Have you seen the Moscow car (AWD) in the Snow driving with the Koenigsegg? They're driven. There are lots of them out and about.
They have some huge projects in the works, not my place to bring them to light here but stay tuned.
I worked there for 3 years. Have over 5k miles driving them.
From car 7 thru 60 something. Senior builder, test driver, Carbon body QC, vehicle dynamics (sound deadening to shake down), production manager etc. It was a fun gig. Tough and challenging but massively rewarding.
Rob is a visionary and has some very cleaver engineers working with him.
I hope they continue to thrive.
The cars aren't for everyone but I appreciate them for what they are.
Hope that helps.
