Thx for posting that - EVs "too heavy, and they don't make a cool sound"

154 lbs. is an amazing wt. - is that for the non-turbo version?

Great stuff but I think some of the stats posted are "optimistic" to say the least. Christian love cars but he's also a great salesman.

They look like great cars but what are they like to own long term?
Are they reliable and dependable or will they spend most of their time in a workshop?

The current Mclaren cars have a rep of being the new Lotus and that's not a compliment.

I'm impressed with what Koenigsegg do, not a huge company compared to Bugatti, McLaren and Ferrari but they do some very cool stuff

All the aero work on the Singer was done by a young ex-Koenigsegg aerodynamist

I really enjoyed watching him drag (see what I did there ;) a classic 911 shape from a car with negative lift to a car with down force while keeping the smooth Porsche lines

Where did you get these hats?

Thanks guys. I think there are a few people selling them but I bought it from RIX914parts.com and am very happy with how they turned out.
