good for you!

 

wow! that car is the s***! you could have gotten the LF-A for that much though.

 

And then he would have been driving a slower car.

Good choice Enjoy your amazing machine

 

I am jealous of the financial freedom that you enjoy. But it sounds like you earned it, so congrats! Life is more fun when you get to play with cool toys.

 

Congrats, 18 months is 2 Xmases and then some, but what does the waiver actually say.

 

Enjoy your amazing new ride!

 

Thanks for keeping the replies positive, guys.

CCXR was closer to $1 mil. and for that money I would've probably saved some more and bought a Bugatti (just kidding). I ordered to CCX with this blueish, silver chrome paint which is a custom color that I picked. The interior will be black on black with silver stitching. I didn't get the completely clear-coated carbon fiber exterior, which is available as an option, so that if I crash into something, dent it, scratch it, it will be easily fixable. Carbon fiber will be way too expensive to repair, or replace. I also got the carbon fiber wing spoiler and some carbon fiber cooling vents.

Koenigsegg makes 12-16 cars a year... so yes, I am very fortunate that I am priviledged enough to purchase one, let alone get it within 18 months. I guess it's the economy, because the representative told me that usually 18 months is the time it takes before the car is even taken in to be built.

That's what I told myself. Business is doing great, it's very busy, and I still have the R8 to keep me occupied until then. I'm not doing this because I want something more reliable... because Koenigsegg aren't exactly electrically reliable, either, and service is done by Lamborghini dealers so it's very expensive regardless.

I hesitated at first but then decided that the manual tranny would be best, even thought I am scared ****less of it. It's about 5 grand more to get it, but when you're spending this amount of money on a car, 5k is peanuts.

I am basically relinquishing my warranty on any problems caused by the drivetrain... and Koenigsegg basically can't be held legally responsible if I crash the thing. The representative told me this thing was really untamable.

Firstly, I don't like the LF-A. Secondly, it would be impossible for me to get one.

 

just incredible! sad to see the F go, but not a bad upgrade at all! haha

 

I just MIGHT keep the F as a daily driver... we'll see how it goes. 18 months is in a long time.

 

Hope you don't get an ugly color like a grey R8.

 

Very nice! And I am sure the trip will be the icing on the cake. And an 18 month wait is nothing, I am sure it will go so fast(except the last 3 months or so! )

 

Congrats! The Koenigsegg is one of my favorite supercars too. You should keep the IS-F at least as a DD, you can't be driving the Koenigsegg everywhere you go

 

Excuse me? Daytona Gray is by far the nicest color on the R8 next to Ibis White. It has a very nice pearl in it. The color I got is a grayish, blueish, chrome paint.



Similar to this steel blueish color but with a chrome paint.

 

wow congrats! tim hortons only?

 

congrats! the ccx is one of my favorite cars too. Hope you have fun with it, you deserved it.
