    WTF are you talking about. It was just the first Koenigsegg CCX in the US. Similar cars have been avail., but the CCX is new and this was the first US car. And who cares about Veyron owners?

    Seemed like the reverse lights were not functioning, but other than that minor detail the car looks and sounds so very impressive.

    That car has amazing engineering. The aerodynamics, weight, chasis is just awesome. The car is also beligerantly fast, there is no contest for this car against a Veyron. Too bad the car sounds like a run of the mill Mustang. Clearly despite Konigseggs claim that the CCX is no longer using a ford engine like earlier Konigseggs they must use some aspects of the design. Perhaps they share the same crank which determines the firing order. Eitherway there is enough ford inspiration in there to make the car sound identical to a mustang to me. Not that there is anthing wrong with the ford inspired power plant its just doesn't have that amazing sound that any of the other hypercars have. Everyoen would agree that the sound of an exotic is half the fun of ownership. F355 dyno's pretty pittiful horsepower numbers but that orgasmic F1 V8 sound makes it all better.

    Wow !!!
    * interesting how the other cars became invisible as soon as it appeared

    * It doesn't look that different since it's Swedish ( stuff from Sweden is usually completely different )
    Scandinavian music por instance...

    * In fact it's appearance seem based on Saleen or McLaren ...

    * American drivers will find it's stick and 3 pedals appealing while the rest of the world will think of it as old fashion
