Default Koenigsegg One:1

So I have been watching the drive channel on youtube for a while. They are a great channel to watch if you love cars. Recently they started a series on how Koenigsegg is making there latest Hyper Car, the One:1. It is going to have 1 HP for every Kilogram (1HP for every 2 pounds). A lot of times you don't realize how some manufacturers make cars. For me I always kind of just imagine a long assembly line with robots just putting the cars together. So when you see how places like Koenigsegg build cars, it's almost mind boggling at how much effort goes into them. Anyway, here are all of the videos to come out so far.

Mind numbing. Absolutely brilliant. A friend told me about this so thanks for the videos! Really interesting, and amazing step in the forward progress of automobiles.

I love this channel too! That is the ultimate supercar, isn't it the ones that they use in the opening race in Need For Speed?

Not this particular one, they used either the Agera S or the Agera R. But yea look almost the exact same. The big difference is the wing, the One:1 has a much much larger wing then both the Agera S and the Agera R which I think have the same wing.

WOW! That's all I can say without offending someone with my language! Let's just say that my mechanic and Driver bone have a lot in common with a Redwood tree at this moment!

I've been watching their videos for a long time. Since my brother does carbon work he's been watching on how they build the wheels.

Yea I would love to have some carbon fiber wheels. But I'm sure they are expensive, heck just forged aluminum wheels are expensive.

They're probably several thousand per wheel.
