The Koenigsegg has just blown all the other Hypercars out of the water.
0-250 mph in 20 secs is actually unbelievable if they have got the figures correct. To put that into context the Veyron Suoer Sports takes 30 secs to reach 220 mph, and 55 secs to reach 248.

1340HP, 0-250 mph in 20 seconds????? That's just mental.
Imagine how that acceleration would feel - wow!
At night it would be like engaging warp drive in the Starship Enterprise

Interested to see what Monkey Harris makes of it. Supposedly a video due out tomorrow. There were some concerning tweets from him when he actually took delivery of the test car, it was supposedly reacting so badly to a bumpy British road he wanted to get the geo checked out to see if it had been farked up. Never saw anything more from him on the matter, so hopefully he covers it in the video.
Edit - no, he did get it sorted, ignore me:
Drove the same 4C I had last week, after some geometry changes. Different car. Phew. More to come.

Shouldn't be a long term detriment, is it not the case that there are only 2000 Alfa 4c models in total to be built worldwide?

A decent spec new Elise S is £40k territory, is it not? With that money to spend, I'd sure be looking at the 4c Spider just in case

Launch 4c is £52k, A Porsche would be the dull sensible option.
