It is not an official objective of the Swedes, but the above title has been playing for a while in the back of their mind. For It’s time.

It was the end of 2014, when Koenigsegg announced a lap record to want to drop on the almighty Nordschleife. But there it was 2015 and 2015 brought a speed to the legendary piece of tarmac. No problem for the average ‘Ring-visitor, but a maximum speed of 250 km/h for a car manufacturer like Koenigsegg and, of course, was not good news. The Swedes had to abandon the attempt.

This is the lap record for production cars, on the day of today with 6:57 in the name of the Porsche 918 Spyder. A few weeks ago it was revealed that the organization behind the Nürburgring has decided to up the speed limits on the Nordschleife to lift. This news is also in the Koenigsegg settled down and the Swedes are planning a new visit with the One:1. Not only to drink coffee, but a verpulverend record with the megacar of course.

The Swedish carmaker will be available later this month perch at the ‘Ring. Or Sweden than directly for a record attempt is not per se plausible. Such an attempt requires, namely, a good preparation and perfect weather conditions.
