Koenigsegg Just Wrote An Awesome Middle Finger To The Hypercar Holy Trinity

With everyone salivating over recent LaFerrari vs. McLaren P1 vs. Porsche 918 Spyder triple tests, Koenigsegg has asked why it's not involved using impressive statistics
Koenigsegg Just Wrote An Awesome Middle Finger To The Hypercar Holy Trinity

It’s easy to see why everyone’s getting excited about the Holy Trinity of hypercars being brought together. Here we have the most exclusive cars on Earth made by three of the greatest manufacturers around. They provide an awesome snapshot of where the pinnacle of the automotive world is right now, but there’s one manufacturer that reckons they don’t provide the whole story.

Koenigsegg has just written a brilliant blog post, in which it applauds the efforts of Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche, but wants to let any concerned customers know that its cars are actually faster.

By taking official manufacturer statistics for the 0-186mph (0-300kph) run, Koenigsegg wants it to be known that the One:1 is more than three seconds faster than the LaFerrari, the fastest Holy Trinty car, to that magic number. In fact, it had already managed to undercut the Italian hypercar’s sprint time in 2011 with the Agera R.

While the reason Koenigsegg is probably overlooked is because the Holy Trinity were all constructed at around the same time to provide direct competition to each other, Koenigsegg makes a fair point: it was already making cars like this years ago.

I always said the One:1 was faster than any of these pretenders.

Koenigsegg is on the league of its own. Only thing that could come close to Koenigsegg might be the new Bugatti but still i doubt that it would be as good as on the track as the One:1. Even tough they don’t habe the budget of Ferrari they are years ahead of major car makers.

It’s probably a history thing. McLaren, Porsche and Ferrari have been racing each other in someway since the ‘60s, the Porsche and Ferrari going back even more.

Not really. The P1 was delivered to customers in Oct 2013 and the Porsche in December 2013
The Koenigsegg, 12 weeks later in March.

Koegnigsegg should or even have to make a video about it and prove it rather than writing about it.The benefits of the video (if they make it) is proving their points and maybe gain a new buyers.

And yet there’s no video proof that it is faster than all three. Come on Koenigsegg, Show us what you’ve got!!

I cannot get over how rubbish looking the La Ferrari’s windscreen wipers look. Millions of pounds of technology combined with some Hanford’s specials wiper blades.
