Eat that, Nürburgring.

German motorsportautoriteiten forced the Nürburgring to set speed limits to be set after a fatal accident, what the planned recordpogingsplannen of the Swedish supercarbouwer serious in the war kicked off. Not to worry, because Koenigsegg is with the 1360 hp One:1 coolly re-settled in the Belgian Ardennes to the lap record at Spa Franchrochamps to claim.

Koenigsegg set a time of 2:32.14 minutes, that the lap record for straatlegale cars just been crushed. A record that is already in the name of Koenigsegg, because in June klokten 2:33.26 minutes with the One:1. Nevertheless, a small improvement, and the edge on the McLaren P1 (2:38.00) and the Porsche 918 Spyder (2:40.00), is something further.

Koenigsegg is not completely satisfied with their time. The record was on day 1 cycled, during the training, when there is a noise limit of 110 db gold at the Spa. The hot lap was scheduled for day 2, but when adhered to a Spa, however, a 7 db lower geluidslimiet. During the recordrondje went decibelalarm (this board) and they were inside, waved by the marshals. Despite last-minute adjustments to the exhaust they did not know among the 103 db.

Koenigsegg about the attempt:

“This new record is a small positive, but we can do better.

We came to Spa with certain expectations and to a small degree, they were. We have to admit, though, that this was an opportunity that we didn’t take full advantage of.

We hope to have another chance to run the One:1 at Spa again in the near future and meet our full potential.”

There we go, so even more can hear and see. Anyway, the video in which the 1360 hp and with difficulty on the asphalt, is held – see you on Autojunk.nl!
