The only problem I have with that car is the headlights lack distinction. There is usualy a certain "look" to most sport cars' headlights (like Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, etc..), and they don't imo.

But wow, 0-60 in 3.2, with a 9 sec quarter mile time??? Thats crazy. Most 0-60 cars run high 10's to 11's in quartermile time.

its the supercharger. there is enough lag to slow it down at the begining of accelleration, but once the supercharger gets going, the car is a rocket. supposedly its 60-120 time is only a little slower than its 0-60 time (by 0.6 seconds).

Looks SICK though.

Is that a CC8S?

Jeremy Clarkson likes it, and his word is gospel...
What I mean is, I'm sure the Koenigsegg would be a much bigger deal a la McLaren/Enzo/Carrera GT fighter if it had greater circulation. I'm pretty sure it drives a lot like you would expect a Swedish 800 hp supercar to drive like.

The 'egg uses a twin-screw type supercharger, known for their incredible boost pressure even low in the rev range. Though, in general there is no such thing as "supercharger lag." You're thinking of "turbo lag."

Moving ANY car from 0-60 is a tough task. No matter what sort of power you give a car like the 'egg, it still has weight to contend with. That's why you'll see quicker 0-60 times from much lighter cars (that aren't as highly powered).
