Full body Carbon, Koenigsegg CCXR & now a ZONDA Options

[tomazws]

I guess this would be the UGLIEST car I would love to have.....

[playr158]

They have had the CCXR out for awhile now. The Koenigsegg is my fav car these days. As for how well does it hold up in an accident, on topgear they tested a Koenigsegg CCX that has a carbon fiber front bumper on it and the stig lost controll coming out of the straights and went off the track. The front bumper held up better than i thought..but at the same time, carbon fiber if weaved properly (i imagine the koenigsegg would be) is stronger then steel. But any ways..check out the video of the CCX crashing...

and the CCXR...

EDIT: BTW..that 1018HP..thats running it on Bioethonal. Gas that you can get here..like 104octane...or 94 octane..ur making more like 800ish HP. If your in europe where they have higher octane gas, or any of the bio fuels...it will make the 1018hp.

EDIT AGAIN: I found a video of a sideimpact test of a CC8S..the model before the CCX and CCXR..but pretty much built the same.
CRASH TEST VIDEO

torsionally it can be stronger than steel....impact not so much.

JVC?!?!? that expensive of a car and they put a JVC head unit in?? EPIC FAIL! i still want one though, first mod would be a real head unit.

[illneversellmyce...]

lol damn i didin notice that lol, yeah i really dissapointed with the interior of the car. All that work outside and the inside was so basic

[azian_advanced]

the inside is decent compared to other supercars like the enzo.

[playr158]

lol supercar should have a basic stripped down interior.

youngins need to learn FUNCTION > form

I'll take the Zonda

[playr158]

are you sure you like it? i mean its not very street practical...

[dustin15brown]

one of my favorite cars... cf.... i'd give both nuts

[RickJamesBish]

HOLY GOD that interior's ugly...jesus christ.

[Taskbot]

Indeed its not. But If I had to abuse one of them as my daily driver, I prefer the Zonda. Also, I've always like them, they have a very different look from the average super-car shape plus they were in Gran Turismo which lets admit was pretty important to import culture. (Without it, I would probably be one of those D-bag domestic kids driving a suped up cavalier or a truck since my dad was socialized to be)

Besides, I'm looking at this from a hypothetical framework. It would still be a garage queen (or in my case a yard queen since the garage is full of crap) to me and I would never find a use for it. But I've since become a bit more lax in my criticism of super cars. I mean, I understand their function now, which is to sit in a private collectors garage (sultan of Brunei) collecting dust while the rest of us can only dream of driving a car that fast.

Don't take much offence to the above paragraph, whenever I criticize a vehicle I am mostly nitpicking and being cynical because its fun sometimes.

That's pretty crazy and I can appreciate it, though for what it's worth, I am not a big fan of carbon. To me, that was a thing of the past, and got played out before I even had a shot at trying to get it. It is nice to have though for those of you who do have or obtain it. Most certainly you get points for it. More than likely, you won't find me doing it unless I am serious about the weight of the car and is 100% on the track.
