New king of the hybrid hypercars? I'm not a fan of the looks of the car (I prefer the Agera or the One:1 more) but those "bio-hazard" looking wheels look very nice.

Pretty crazy looking. I like the Koenigsegg line up of cars. Probably because the streets of Vancouver aren't flooded with them.

yea the new single "gear" tranny is quite interesting, very curious to see what some driving reviews say about it

I wonder why they still put V8 in it?
Compare to electric motor, internal combustion engines are very inefficient. 70% of power generated are simply converted to heat as energy loss due to friction and all that. Not to mention carrying V8 + transmission + fuel tank + exhaust + turbocharger + everything else is very heavy and space consuming.

Just follow the path of Tesla/Fisker once it gets to that level.

Why is the Porsche 918 a V8?
Why is the McLaren P1 a V8?

I wonder why Ferrari put in a V12 when these extra cylinders are just too heavy and space consuming.

Didn't Fisker go bankrupt?

I think Koenigsegg finally going to redesign the entire car. It's 2015 so it's about time. Because I believe the every single Koenigsegg lineup was just modified CC8S. Including Agera R or ONE:1.
