0-255 in just 20 seconds, I wonder how many Gs you'd feel with that kind of acceleration? That's impressive, and deadly.
Problem is that, by the time Siri gets the directions up on screen you'll have already reached your destination.
250 mph = 112 m/s, 112/20 = an average acceleration of 5.6 m/s^2. That's less than 1G.
Humans can tolerate a LOT of acceleration through the chest, back in the 70s voluntary tests were done and the peak survivable is something like 80Gs. Apollo launches were something like 8-9Gs.
Why don't they change their name? What a stupid name for a sports car. Sports cars are supposed to have COOL names like Ferrari, Lotus, McLaren, Lamborghini, etc.
Koenigseggs? Sounds like an overpriced brand of organic eggs at the yuppie grocery store or whatever.

Your minivan should cover the portion of the dash that contains the CarPlay functionality...actually that might not be enough.

I have to admit, I laughed when I read this.
A top fuel dragster accelerates from 0-100 in about .8 of a second and covers the 1/4 mile in under 4 seconds at about 330mph.
The hyperhumour is strong in this thread. Thanks for the laugh guys.

The running joke from Top Gear is the name is spelled Koenigseggisseggggnignigsegigisegggnigseggniggsegg. Change the name? That's crazy talk. Christian von Koenigsegg is simply following a long tradition of using the family name as the name of the company. Some other COOL car companies following that tradition:
Bruce McLaren
Enzo Ferrari
Ferruccio Lamborghini
Ferdinand Porsche
Ettore Bugatti
Horacio Pagani
It takes time to build history and a reputation. CvK is well on his way.
I did giggle at the egg joke. Nicely done.
You know, other people in other countries actually speak other languages.... "mikey".
I'm liking the automotive articles in macrumors.

There is only one Top Gear which is the UK.
You don't believe the US, aus, Russian , South korean versions were as good
maybe the France or Chinese versions will lift the bar .....

I guess General Motors was taken.... A General Motors Chevrolet Corvette z06 , think the yuppies at the organic egg store will be impressed

And is not road legal
for sure, I'm not one of the one percenters. I didn't know this world even existed. almost 2 mil for a car is a bit beyond my reach.
I'll start saving up my allowance.

How do they even make money??? All the material, parts, labor, R&D, marketing, sales... certainly costs more than the $150million they'll make from the sale of this car...
