Default First totalled Koenigsegg CCX



A black koenigsegg ccx was totaled by its swedish owner when the car fishtaled, and hit a garabage truck. The cars previous owner, fameous norwegian Tommy Sharif was told to sell the car by Koenigsegg after driving it like an idiot. The new swedish owner crashed the car only 18 hours after he got it delivered from norway.

Crashed by Stefan Bengtsson. Wonder if it's actually totaled?

Another case of too much money, not enough talent?

I believe the owner had a bat with henning solberg who is better driver i think the picture explains who the better driver is and it's not the owner of the ccx.
And it's just a case of more money than talent.

Stefan Bengtsson who crashed this CCX is not the same guy as Tommy Sharif who wanted to take on Henning Solberg.

He was probably speeding and crashed. Idiot.

Funny thing is that he owns a Gallardo, a Murcielago and a M5 so he's not a newbie to power....

And I don't know if it was very wise to take the 800bhp car on a test ride a rainy autumn day....

according to danish newspapers, he did not attend the 3-day driving course offered by koenigsegg when buying their cars. He supposedly crashed when doing a stupidly fast overtaking, hitting a sanitation truck and driving it of the road.
