but built by daewooo!!!! and rebadged.

I liked the earlier liana, it could hold itself up when it came to corners, this thing massively understeers.. the front end seems to be diving too, wonder if stiffer suspension will help.

At this rate it may not last long. I couldn't believe the abuse those guys were putting it through!

I thought this was a pretty good episode. It definitely did NOT make me want a Koenigsegg, though. That thing seems a little under-engineered for an 800+ bhp supercar.

Because I'm pretty damned sure that whomever owned that one (I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't VW/Bugatti) said "No"

Back when they had a McLaren F1, they didn't track that, either. I don't think they really have much interest in fvcking with the status-quo in the upper-division ultra-supercar arena.

At the end of the show they said they might get it around the track, can't wait for that and the "winged" Koenigsegg to see what they can do.

The Z06 Vette looks promising too, it should definiteily hit the low 1:20's and hopefully pwn Jeremy once and for all.

The Koenigsegg CCX: Top Gear Edition will be ridiculous.
