Pretty impressive, but lets see what happens if they get a Veyron.
Will test-oval top speed be the only record the Bugatti breaks? I'm sure most of you will say yes, but it would be great to see.

7.34 at the 'ring. Impressive, but considering the power to weight advantage over the quicker CGT (7.32), i dont think agility is quite class leading

I doubt the Veyron will beat these times on the Nurburgring/Slalom/ .. , too heavy ... But I think it will beat the acceleration times easily.
Nice performances for sure but the McLaren did the same 0-200 km/h with 150 less bhp (Not recorded by the same magazine anyway, note that McLaren's times on the 0-400 (1/4 mile) and 0-1000 m were verified by Autocar and Best Motoring with two different cars )
Very impressive performances for such a small manufacturer, I hope someone (st-anger ) will post the scan of this article when it will appear !!

Man that article it`s full of bullshit commercial stuff :fist:
''Utilizing this data, the CCR drivers can set up their KACS system to - "Ring Dominance", in order to obtain Nordschleife track day superiority.'' :fist:
Give us a break Mr kofhsgfskfdks .
And what record is he talking about ? 0-200 km/h in 9.6 s ??? Maybe record for its CCR ,but there are a few cars out there that can beat that : Enzo , Macca , not to mention that fat boy , Veyron .
And about that temperature , well it`s a stupid excuse , if the temp would have been 27 degrees Celsius , then again the conditions weren`t ideal because the engine would overheat and so on , :fist:
That producer needs a modesty lesson , he should look at that fine argentinian : Horacio Pagani .

i love the Koenigseggigseggigsegg!
its got the soul of a hypercar, and now it has the suspension set up to prove it... my only 'real' problem is this... why not offer the car with NS setup from the factory, since that is what Porsche does
im looking forward to the SA supertest this next spring

Its impressive, but a lot of whining about how they weren't faster...but at least they did go out there and actually put a time down, unlike a certain Italian manufacturer.
It would be a better approach for them to just say, 'This is our time' and let that settle instead of being, well, it coulda, woulda, shoulda been faster...
