05/27/2003 This car is most probably the most complete car ever made. Incidentally, the pictures shown here are of the 2002 car. Since then the front and rear light clusters have been redesigned so it looks a lot better in my opinion, and is yet more aerodynamically efficient, and also the engine has been slightly modified I believe, to produce just a few more horsepower, but I'm unsure of actual figures there. Not that it matters too much, as every one of these cars is custom made, so if you wanted a more powreful bottom end I have little doubt Koenigsegg would have a good go at that for you! As is fairly obvious from the figures, this car is very very fast. It really does go some. And as far as the comment of "well it's not as fast to 60 as the Veyron", well that's a fairly pointless comparison really. The Veyron will probably never be produced, and if it is they will probably sell about 3. You won't run into one on a road or track, unless it's a fully modified track car, which is no comparison as it's not road legal. And besides, is 3.2 seconds not fast enough for you? At those kind of speeds your time is more dependant on your clutch control than anything else. Perhaps a gear change as well, but that depends on the car. 60 in 1st, magic. This car is superbly designed and thought through. Every detail works for the car, there's not a single bolt that was just "put there cos it works". It's remarkably practical as well, as the engine's very dosile up to about 3,000rpm, allowing for comfortable road driving. The suspension's also very strange. You feel every bump in the road, but they're all beautifully damped, so they don't send you through the roof, you just know they're all there, and I think that's great, really involving. As for the interior, also very well designed. The seat is made of carbon fibre so it's very light, with just pads on top of the carbon, and only where your body will actually come into contact. It's very clever, saving a little bit of weight, but basically it looks cool. The pads used I think are gel filled, so the seat actually moulds perfectly around your body, spreading the forces evenly accross the entire contact zone, so it's very comfortable even on long journeys. I believe the Mustang engine was a superb idea. It's a lot lighter than a 5.7 would've been, so the balance is more in the front than it would've been, allowing for more progressive handling, and also meaning should the car take off over a bump, it won't land on its backside, ripping out the transmission, a legendary Porsche 911 trick. But there's also the cost issue as well. The LS1 isn't likely to be as cheap to produce as the supercharged Mustang engine, which will be in the new model for many years. The fact that the engine is supercharged by the manufacturer is always helpful as well, as supercharging an LS1 could easily reduce the engine life and reliability. Ford has no doubt spent millions on making the Mustang engine totally reliable, so it's a good engine to start tweaking if you're a bald Swedishman.
