Koenigsegg One:1

While the chances of any of us ever driving, let alone owning a Koenigsegg One:1 are slim to none, there’s a slightly better chance we could have one made out of LEGO bricks, like this one by Viktor Kojenov aka VKTechnic.

Someone is trying to turn a quick and tidy profit on a Koenigsegg One:1 that went up for sale back in May of this year. The car sold for £4.1m (~$5.09 million USD) when it went up for auction last.

It’s not uncommon for people to lose it on the Nürburgring and crash their cars. I would go so far as to say it’s common. What’s not common is for an extremely rare car to get smashed up at the Ring.

Out of all the exotic cars in the world, the one I want the most is the Koenigsegg One:1. This car weighs in at 1360 kg and has 1360 hp on tap for a perfect power to weight ratio of 1:1.

If I hit the lotto and suddenly took home a huge amount of money, the first car I would buy is the Koenigsegg One:1. I love how the car looks, sounds, and performs. It’s easily the coolest hypercar out there in my eyes.

You might not know it but there is a long standing tradition in the sports car world of trying to beat the record for sprinting from a standstill to 300 km/h (~186 mph) and then back to zero.

The only problem with first-person lap videos is you can’t see the car. And in this case, it’s the Koenigsegg One:1, taking on the Circuit De Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, where my brother-in-law put his BMW into a wall on a track day but happily emerged unscathed.
