Default Could this be the FASTEST car in the world?

I was browsing the Internet and I stumbled upon this:

http://www.dumpalink.com/media/11432...ear_Koenigsegg

The video is kinda long, but I found it to be interesting. You should check it out. It is competition for the Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.

Until the Veyron came out, I believe the CCR was the world's fastest car. Word is that they are working on a successor to the CCR (called CCX I think?) that aims to reclaim the throne from the Bugatti.

Despite the Veyron being faster, I'd take the CCR over it anyday of the week.

it does have a faster 0-60, but so do other cars, lingefelter(sp) made a corvett that allegadly did 0-60 under 2 sec's

still the bugattis acceleration over 100mph is unheard of, and its top speed by production cars is not met

ive posted this fact on the other "whats ur dream car" thread, but i love this stat.
put the bugatti next to the old "worlds fastest production car" the McClaren F1.... let the F1 start the race to 200mph before the veyron...allow the F1 to get all the way to 130mph before the veyron starts, and it'll still reach 200 first
