Would you give your left nut for a Koenigsegg CCR?

Looks like it has some fabulous rearward visibility.

The answer to the question: No

It's probably very uncomfortable and very unreliable.

The car itself is a wonder of engineering. Take some time to look at all the CF work in the engine bay...CF endtanks and IC piping anyone? If anything was going to be unreliable in this car, I'd say it's the engine.

But remember, the original design plan for the Koenigsegg was supposed to be a flat 12 of swedish origin. He even worked with Saab on some plans for a variable compression one. If that ever comes to bear, this will truly be amazing.

I'd go for it simply because you wouldn't see them. Sort of like a Pagani.

I have actually seen a McLaren F1 on city streets before. Herb Chambers (owner of the namesake chain of auto dealerships around here) would actually drive that monster on public roads, including through Boston traffic -- even on the fender-bender central that is Commonwealth Avenue.

A Spyker has recently been showing up nearby work. Actually got to have a brief chat with the owner, and even let me sit in the driver's seat. Impressive, but again, you're then not the only one. Same goes for Saleen's around here (The S7 -- tons of old SR351's and 281's around).

A Koenigsegg would be damn rare.

Actually, one of the reasons I chose my MR was exclusivity. There'll probably be fewer than 10 that end up in the state.
