782 hp. - 635 lb.ft. - 2,720 lbs. - 249 mph. - $239,000? Thats' pretty good. I'd say Koenigsegg is the wannabe. I knew the Eggy would be trumped before too long.

but its design isn't pretty good.at least not for me...i recommend to check out those videos and sounds

I did, that V8 is pretty wicked. Designs of " indepenent "cars like this are usually pretty amaturish, they need the help of a talented stylist.

but isnt it amazing , i mean those 780 horses from a NA V8....awesome.it is NA,isn't it?

I see no mention of forced induction. 782 horses and 635 lb.ft. from 6.2 liters NA, compression is not particularly high, whats' that engine been smoking?? How come nobody is talking about this car? Well, we are.

The compression ratio is pretty high considder the supercharger is delivering fairly impressive charge. Numbers alone aren't what made the koenigssegg the next big thing. It is the total package. The fact it's been idly threatening to smash the F1's speed reccord doesn't hurt either.

That and it's from sweden. Talk about a country, the world's richest man (Ingvar Kampgrad - the idea dude) is a swede, the fastest car, what next
