wrecked Carrera GT (1 of 2 norwegian cars)
http://www.bergen-gatebilklubb.com/J...1&topic=1010.0
and btw... the speedlimit is 50km/h...
witnesses said the car accellerated full through 1 gear, and when shifting to 2nd, it spun out. :roll: :roll:

Mandatory racing school for supercar owners sounds like a good idea now.

no way, I don't believe that one bit.
why?
As I have ridden shotgun in the CGT a few months ago, the car doesn't grip at full throttle until you are well into 2nd gear... the tires just spin and spin with nearly nothing happening in the meat of first (above 3000 rpm)... and this is when it's dry out :shock: When it's wet out is something else altogether. But no way was it in 1rst gear, not one iota of possiblity.
clearly it spun, and perhaps because of the weight transfer from deccel. but those whitness statements aren't accurate.

Ouch that one blew up in your face didnt it.........
the guy in Norway buying it "tommy sharif" sold it back to Koenigsegg wich sold it to a Swdish guy who wrecked it within 18 hours after he got it.........you where saying about handling the Egg..?
Tommy spun out on a track ending up in the kitty litter while this Swedish "born with a silver spoon in his mouth" guy wrecked it on a public road on a straight piece of road...... :roll: |
Yep I'm very well aware of the damage Stefan Eriksson caused the Koenigsegg. Just tell me that you are not stupid enough to believe that I actually meant that Norweigans can't drive. For the record the Koengisegg wasn't "wrecked".

I think he ment that it accelerated fully through 1st gear, and spun when he went into second. Not that he was full throttle in 1st gear. Lost in translation I believe :arrow:

If you check out the pictures in the supplied link, it looks like cold Michelin PS2s didn't help (note the presence of snow)...
