sl114 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Was in Stockholm a few weeks ago and there was a news report about a Koenigsegg crash. It was the nephew of the guy who owns H&M. He bought a new 'segg and then snubbed the advanced driving course that comes complimentary with the car. Anyway, he owned the car for about 10 hours before overtaking a line of cars and ploughing into an oncoming bin lorry, totalling the 'segg in the process!! Unbelievably, he walked away unscathed!! I didnt hear about that crash, must be pretty well built then for him to walk out unheart. That or very very lucky Yeah, very lucky. From the look of the pics he hit the bin lorry and ended up in some woods. He then walked to a petrol station............bought a tarpaulin.......... and went back and covered the car!! What a freak!! What a strange man, have you got the pics handy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Awesome and safe! It's just like a quick volvo! But slightly less boxy. Does anyone know if it has the same reliability of the engine too as a volvo? I guess it may be too soon to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 If you want reliability get a Pagani Zonda. It has an AMG engine Or a Wiesmann GT, which has a BMW M5 engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has an AMG engine Or a Wiesmann GT, which has a BMW M5 engine They dont do anything for me im afriad. Plus i guess it wont be a daily driver so it probably doesnt matter too much on the reliability. Saying that, you would hope their recovery service and warrenty are good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 If you want reliability get a Pagani Zonda.
