And dis en passant, the whole auto industry with their urge to absurd top speeds.

The barren genius of Koenigsegg organized recently an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on his own site, where he openly talked about the future of his supercarbedrijf. The Swede is, for example, plan to do with the absurdly quick One:1 multiple ronderecords on different tracks to tackle. Currently they have at Spa Francorchamps and Suzuka the fastest lap time in the hands, but it doesn’t stop there:

“We don’t see a need to set lap records on all circuits around the globe. But for sure we plan to continue to show the performance of our cars on many tracks to come. We have the resources to cover a number of attempts at prominent tracks but we have to choose carefully.”

Or Koenigsegg-squad ever again perching on the Nürburgring is not sure. Christian says that the speed limits on the ‘Ring is still in force, what manufacturers makes it impossible to attempt to do. In addition, the One:1-recordwagen soon to a new owner, so time is of the essence.

Von koenigsegg also hinting that a snelheidsrun not in it. He asked openly, ” what is the importance of such figures, as its customers are more interested in driving comfort, driving pleasure and overall performance.

“Is testing the extreme outer limit of a car a necessity, or just good for marketing?”

Good question Chris, but it may also have to deal with that they have no suitable place to find the top speed of the 1360 hp One:1 testing. The 9 km long Ehra–Lessien track of Volkswagen (Google Maps) seems ideal, but he does not expect them there Bugatti-competitors will allow.

The chance of a drag with the Veyron is so very small, but if it goes well, owned the One:1 will be multiple circuits. Something to look forward to.
