Koenigsegg: A perfect addition to WCD ultimate experience

I read your comments about our 200MPH.

I personally drove the car at 204MPH and here is my appraisal:
The car is a real piece of technology and extremely well manufactured.
Seating position is great and when you start the car you can immediately feeling a high level of confidence.
This machine is designed for on road and track experience. Very similar feeling that the McLaren F1 I raced before.
It also remind me very much the Porsche 956 prototype I tested before.

It was extremely easy and comfortable to drive the car at 204MPH. I did it at my first trial and I want to thank Giovanni and Luke from Universal Autosports to give World Class Driving customers a chance to ride at 208MPH.
It made a dream alive for all of them.
World Class Driving challenge is to acquire one for our future collection of Super Cars. The Koenigsegg has for sure it s place in the Pantheon of Supercars.

I understand the reason why your friend Roland was disappointed not to drive it.

You can also experience it if you book for our next event Janaury 9th ( only 2 seats left). You will get the chance to ride in the Koenigsegg and make your report live.

Happy Holidays

JPL. thank you for the nice words about your driving experience wiht the Koenigsegg CCX: you are one of very few lucky drivers. I was a pasenger when we pitted it against the 430 Scuderia and that was a blast. Still looking forward to drive it at some point!

That is so awesome! Roland was so disapointed not to drive the car...what a machine! Much better looking in my opinion what any other supercar.
