I saw one in North Finchley of all places - a fairly nondescript suburb of London (nicer than Edmonton, not as nice as Hampstead)
Never seen them in Knightsbridge, Mayfair or the usual locations
O/T Never seen them in Knightsbridge, Mayfair or the usual locations
as an ex N9 resident. Edmonton has been slipping deeper and deeper into the cesspool of humanity since the early 80s It makes grade 1 stholes look respectable and saddens me to see it go downhill.esp when you think it cannot get any worse... and then does.. with ease. i understand the locals call it skank city
back on topic any idea what g forces that is pulling in those 30 secz?

I do wonder if Koenigsegg are real, or do they just have the odd car dotted around the globe for marketing purposes, I mean who buys them?
Never ever seen one other than TV, not in London, Manchester, anywhere lol.
This one looks awesome though.
There is a dealership in Sunningdale, Berks.Never ever seen one other than TV, not in London, Manchester, anywhere lol.

What’s the deal with the limited venting? Does that mean it is useless outside a 30 second run?
Saw a Koenigsegg in Bath last year.
I think it's more a case of it being less suitable for prolonged hard/track driving than the Jesko Attack, which is the higher-drag, high downforce version. So if you want a track car you buy the Attack, if you want something that's more of an epic cruiser with the ability to do crazy things like this you buy the Absolut.Saw a Koenigsegg in Bath last year.
The Attack is the standard version, so the Absolut is more of a bragging rights low downforce trim level if you must have the fastest thing on four wheels.
I've seen a few Koenigseggs at FoS and Supercar Fest and they're absolutely stunning things. If I were to win the Euromillions £100m+ I'd be speccing up a Jesko Attack. Didn't Nico Rosberg own a Regera?

Pointless, irrelevant and bit silly but compelling and brilliant. It is an amazing achievement for such a small company, especially as thy seem willing to try all sorts of interesting solutions from two door four seaters to the light speed gearbox. Deserves much success. It also looks amazing.
Congratulations, Koenigsegg! Amazing achievement!
I, too, am an admirer of Koenigsegg, and what CvK has achieved.
Remember the "How would you spend £100k" thing PH used to do? I had the idea of using the £100k to contribute 1/10 (or whatever) to a pool to buy an 'egg under co-ownership, reaping some of the money back by renting it out. But there were never any 'eggs at the right price on PH

There were not one, but 4 of them here in Como just after the Concorso di Eleganza at Villa d'Este. One of the drivers was Mr. Koenigsegg himself. Never ever seen one other than TV, not in London, Manchester, anywhere lol.

Ah yes, the old 'I haven't seen it therefore it doesn't exist' line. I suppose i agree when it comes to, y'know, God, but a brief bit of Googling would show the Koenigsegg Ghost Squadron tour which happens every year in a different location around the globe. There were around 35 cars there this year and only a small proportion of owners do it.Never ever seen one other than TV, not in London, Manchester, anywhere lol.
This one looks awesome though.
