well .. they meka there own engine .. the only thing they dont make is the block
didn't Porsche have a Flat 12 in the 917 and its variants? anyway, i think Koenigsegg should stick with the engine that they use now. If i recall correctly, its an off the shelf Ford Racing V8 that was tuned by cosworth. pretty cool combo if you ask me.vanMould said:The Koenigsegg was originally planned to have a flat-12 that Subaru developed for F1 racing. Subaru eventually abadoned the plans and Koenigsegg bought the rights to the engine. But I'v seen some figures on that engine and it doesn't really seem too clever.
But I think V12 are to common. Every bloody hypercar uses them, even though Koenigsegg has proven that eight cans adn 4,7l is enough. I'd love to see a V10 in there though. That would be a bit odd. Or maybe a flat-10, a layout that I've never heard about before...
ahhhh i see :lol:Kebab gud said:thats not the new car
thats just a red CCR
the new one is going to be shown for the first time at Geneva.
Kebab gud said:it is baced of a ford racing engine yes .. but the only ford bit on it is this
(yes i know its a Chevy but its just an illustration)
Why not? It's working pretty well for Pagani and Saleen, and it worked pretty well for McLaren.Jananshan said:I don't think anyone in particular a company as small and probably poor as Koenigsegg (well relatively) can compete with a company like VW's Buggati, not to mention the fact that not only is the Veyron a technological break through its also an act of financial suicide by VW and I doubt anyone could even consider following in its footsteps.
I'd be impressed if they could break 400kph tho, but...
How does Pagani not have any competitors? They build supercars, Koenigsegg builds supercars, there, they're competing. And Saleen builds the S7. They're independent. And McLaren only used BMW's engine, without that much factory backing. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm a bit shaky on McLaren's development history.)Kebab gud said:Pagani has no real competitors.. and Saleen has ... what to offer?
an none of them are compeating against VW (sorry.. bugatti)
and Mclaren had BMW behind them with the F1 ..
i dont really se your point ..
(nether Pagani or Saleen have cars that pass 350kph anyway)
