from norwegian tv:
koenigsegg are now going to install traction control in all their cars, and make driver education obligatory.
the crash: the driver tried to overtake another car, when there was an oncoming car comming faster then he thought, he floored it, lost traction, spun out and crashed.

Loosely reminds me of an episode of Blue Heelers. He's an idiot. He didn't deserve that car. No respect for the Koenigsegg, driving, and life in general. I mean, he didn't even take the Koenigsegg driving course, which is free and not prohibitively long. Money has corrupted this idiot's mind. Did I mention he's an idiot?

But - after the last accidents with the Koenigsegg... may be it's the car that don't have enough downforce to put the power down 
You floor it - you lose it... |
well, if you punch it driving 100km/h in second gear, in a 800hp car, it's not the lack of downforce that kills you...
