Great to see a Koenigsegg outside of the photo-studio and in the real world.

What's this about a Miura being there...does anyone have pics?

Shifter is sequential tranny, that's why it's so tall. To be close to the steering wheel.

Car is supposedly very cool. My friend Faisal has driven two. He loves them, however I am not a fan. Of course, I've never driven one, so my opinion is worth less than the 2c you paid... I will say this...the center console setup is very nicely done. They put time/thought into the rotating dial setup.

hey wait a sec, wat's the redline on this car? 8000? cos there's no redline on the rev meter!

and is the speed supposed to be read on the digital display only?

and are there paddles on the steering wheel to shift gears?

no i dont think this car is paddle shifted. Its a stick shift, i didnt see any paddles or steering wheel mounts on it. Also i think redline is 8500, or maybe 8 grand, not sure. But i do believe that the speed is read digitally.

thanks for that blah, a shame about the paddles though. you would think that a sequential gearbox would come with paddles, most do; mercedes, alfa romeo, ferrari, lamborghini, maserati, why wouldn't this one?

I love it. I also happen to think that a sports car looks great in silver, with grey mag wheels.. :

Paddles ruin the car. All the paddles suck with the exception of the DB9's which doesn't use a manual gearbox with automated clutch .
