Was driving home from work yesterday... and got stuck in traffic behind one of these. That car is sooo sweet!
But what a waste havin' 806bhp and topspeed of 245+ mph in Norway where the fastest your allowed to do around here is 55...

one way road in the deserted country road would be a perfect place to use that car, I am willing to bet given a clear roads cops have no chance of catching a decent driver in that car with what they probably use over there. Originally Posted by hemas

Anybody else here love the Top Gear clip where the Koenigsegg eats a tire wall? Fantastic piece of engineering, but it does seem a bit overkill for your typical Norwegian commute.
