Even though this car is 800 hp the car is light enough it'll be rocket fast, you can get to 200 mph in no time.

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.

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

This is much nicer than the <ugly> bugatti

Having the money is one thing, but it's also being "cool" enough for toyota to pick you for the LFA is another issue

You've made the right choice. Much more unique and exclusive than the LFA. Though it should be since it's a whole different animal.

Congrats!

Like I mentioned beofre the car will be registered in the state of Florida and shipped back and forth between Clearwater, Florida and Plattsburgh, New York with the change of seaons (winter/summer).

I'll be able to tell you more about the doors in 17 months.

FisforFast, you *pretty much* will have the fastest production car in the world.

This is a spacecraft.



Quote from the Automobile magazine, "CCX will go from a stop to sixty mph in just 3.2 seconds, and will make a quarter mile seem shorter that a McDonald's drive-thru, running it in just 9.9 seconds at 146 mph."

http://www.automobilemag.com/new_and...ccx/index.html

Holly crap it's faster than I anticipated. I never really looked up on the specs/ stats on this particular model as I only looked at the CCX-R before. This car maybe faster than the Bugatti Veyron at the quarter mile. Bugatti has the advantage from a dig due to AWD but once the CCX gets on it'll pick up speed fast! Bugatti traps at the quarter mile at what.. 142 mph?

Suggestion: You've better not push this car as you may get into accidents. It's too fast for streets. j/k..

I will soon be spending my winters down in Florida to take care of the businesses we are opening there.

When the summer comes, the car will be shipped up to Plattsburgh International Airport, where I will be picking it up and driving it across the border into Canada and enjoying it all summer. When the winter comes, the car will be shipped back down to Clearwater International Airport. It's already a big scheme, this car. Most people who own supercars here in Canada do this... it costs much less to register and insure.


hey!! i live near the indian rocks area! i hope i get to see it driving
