Koenigsegg in Melbourne
 
Saw this spectacular Koenigsegg in Chapel St, in the South Yarra suburb of Melbourne.... bloody hell it was lookin alright..!!

Sorry abt the shit quality shots, but didnt have a camera on the spot, so had to make use with a Nokia 7650.

It was parked outside one of the trendy cafes... and looking magnificent.
Tried to take pics if the inside, but the phone didnt pick any shit up in the dark.

Good experience though to see one. Probably the only one in the country i reckon.

damn! i want more pictures too! that is just amazing!

DeMoN 02-25-2005 09:09 PM

why is this car so rare? Can you NOT buy it? Someone told me it wasnt for sale yet?

SPEEDCORE 02-26-2005 05:20 AM

They sold 4 CCR's at the Sydney motorshow(oct-nov04) alone and apprently they have now sold 6 in the country. IF they are all actually in the country thats another story(wait to build etc).

Its the Melb motorshow next week, soo they prob just drove it down ?!@?!?@? or towed it down.

The car is rare cause they are a small operation and they cost about the same as a Ferrari Enzo did. It is forsale but maybe its not avalible in the states yet.

sau_mathur 02-26-2005 05:53 AM

Are u sure SPEEDCORE that they sold 4 CCR's and not CC8's ????

styla21 02-26-2005 07:31 AM

Some of them are CCR's, that's the car we've seen running around.. 8)

DeMoN 02-27-2005 02:45 AM

same cost as the Enzo? Damn other than pretty and cool doors... how does it compare to the Enzo? dont think it stands a chance on a track does it?

I'm not so sure about the handling, but with an additional 200hp, it might be closer than you think :twisted:

Toronto 02-27-2005 03:59 AM

^^ and Enzo would hand that car its own ass on the track.
very rare car to see. can't wait to I see one... or buy one :wink: :lol:

Im not 100% no, I can only tell u what I have read in car magazines etc but as far as Im aware they were all CCR's sold. Thou even if they were CC8's that still be impressive for a car that costs a cool $1mill.

DeMoN 02-28-2005 12:16 PM

I guess ppl who own this car are either insanely rich, or they were not invited by ferrari to get the enzo.

nurbrun 03-01-2005 12:18 AM

AHHHHHH!!!!!!

your so lucky.

how low is that car in real life because it looks damn close to the ground

Just a little info, the Enzo cant be registered down here in Australia, i know of only one enzo here and that is Linsday Fox who has one as part of his collection.

Great pic's, same colour as the pic's i posted a while ago from sydney!
