The ONLY Koenigsegg CCXR in the world crashed at Top Gear

[MK.Dub]

Fortunately, this time it was not caused by any of the Top Gear members. A Koenigsegg senior engineer along with one of the Top Gear staff went for a ride around their track in this 1000+ hp biodiesel fueld monster. They took a turn at over 120mph when "largest traffic cone known to man had been left on the inside of the corner; a six-foot high lump of orange plastic with a solid, square-edged, extremely heavy base. We hit it."

But the funniest part of all this was "A muck-spreader had just passed through the field we landed in. As a result, and only because of this, we now smelled of shit."

To be fair the original post is in another section of the forum (Automotive Discussion) and if, like me, you don't read every section then the occassional repost is pretty much certain.

Easiest way to browse is through the New Posts button up top... that way you get all the new threads. Which is what I did and found this thread right below the original thread.
