That car was DEFINITELY designed to take the power it makes. For DAMN sure.

That said, stupid DRIVERS are never controllable.

I'll just leave the Triplex suspension video. Part 2 in the 9 part "Inside Koenigsegg" video series.




I have a whole lot of admiration and respect for the handfull of guys over at Koenigsegg; building some of the most advanced automobiles available.

I recommend watching the other 8 videos. Definitely a good way to kill an hour.

it never ceases to amaze me the flimsy ass structures people thinks is going to save them from 3k pounds careening at them


To be fair it's not like WRC, this was a straight paved road and no one should have expected a crash. but koenigseggs are pretty shitty cars and the driver was evidently even shitter

you have a flimsy aluminum gate between you and people in supercars trying to show off. if it was highly experienced drivers who know what they are doing then it might be different. the guy couldnt even pull a u turn off without almost curbing it.

Anyone blaming the car for this needs to drive their fwd econobox to the doctor for a head examination.

More Cobras have 3-4 shifted their way into a spin than just about anything thanks to 18" or bigger wheels and lots of torque. This car has a tire designed specifically for it. They have to be speed rated for 250+. Concessions must be made in the sidewall/grip department to make that possible. The driver shifted through a loss of traction while the car was already rotating. Thats bad news in anything.
