Is the koenigsegg better than the Mclaren??
 

The Koenigsegg is lighter, more aurodinamic, and produces more power than the mclaren F1. It produces 655 bhp from a supercharged v8 engine!!

The figures were that it could do 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds flat and go on to a top speed of 245 mph which makes it the fastest car in the world

It very well could be faster, but they have yet to do so officially. So untill then, the McLaren is still faster.
On numbers alone, yes, I would say the Koenigsegg is better. But which would you rather have? My answer is the McLaren and I'm sure it's the same for most people.
Although I wouldn't mind having a Koenigsegg one bit. But if you can afford a McLaren, you should be able to have both.

Well, it´s too fast too...But i prefer to stay with both ultimate cars hehehe
Maclaren F1 is more beautiful...Koeniggzegg CC is a litle faster, but both can trap the first launched Km in less than 18 seconds....at more than 280 km/h!!
i sad, 0-1000 m in 18 seconds.... tooooooooooo fast!!!!!!!!!!
Read my topic "The Secrects of a good Performance" it´s about the Maclaren F1

2 topics under this

:D

ye good review on the mclaren man. but ye i agree should be able to afford both

Prestige man...I'd pick the F1 :)

Where have you seen that the Koenigsegg is lighter than the F1? I'm just curious, because the F1 is 1134 kg, and the Koenigsegg is 1170kg. I know it's not a big difference...~35kg/75lbs; but I am very particular about what people say about the F1 lol, ;-).

I don't know,maybe in straight line the CC8S is faster,on the race track depends on the setting used (the CC8S is fully adjustable). For Evo is very good, maybe because of teh better handling is faster than the McLaren.

Well, according to Best Motoring test video that i have here in my pc, they´ve traped the first 1/4 mile in 11.1 seconds with the Maclaren F1..very good time, i think the CC would do it in the house of 11´s too...i saw the Top Gear about it, and, in my opinion, the acceleration is the same of the maclaren f1...
i calculate the 1/4 mile is in the house of 11´s...but for a quarter mile pass, we´ll have to consider about 0.5 seconds of mistake merge, such as gear change style, reaction time and going or not until the red line of the tachometer....it´s very relative, but i think they´re 2 are equal...

NO

well on a top gear review it was said it was lighter but after a bit of research it is not soz.

think the mclaren still has the lead

They are both great cars, but then for me it has still to be the McLaren. For the money it just seems to be ideal car, afterall it was built as one man's dream. Thing with the Koenigsegg is that it is entering production and so (relatively) won't be as rare as the F1.

I think the roof is the problem with the Koenigsegg; to me a detachable roof doesn't say supreme hypercar.

ye i agree i kinda think they mucked up the zonda when the made the detachable roof version. it just loses that supercar title

Nothing is more faster than a McLaren F1. though the Koeniggzegg es very fast this is made in 2002 and Mclaren in 1992. Ten years before.

for me its the F1, it just seems a little fuller. It was built with no compromises in mind, and the CC really its much for me except for fast. its not truly exotic and its not a ferrari so there for it much be pretty outstanding to be outstanding.
yet still the F1.

I love ikea furnitures so I'll pick the Koenigsegg :mrgreen:

Joking aside, the mclaren F1 is *still* better than every other supercars in the world. First of all, it has centre driving position, something no other supercars in its class has. Then, there's the NA engine. What's the point of having a supercar if it's supercharged or turbo'ed? You can get the same amount of power from a 4 banger using forced induction nowadays.

So, mclaren F1 all the way!
