Bye-bye, McLaren; hello, Koenigsegg

The McLaren F1’s reign as the world’s fastest series production car officially ended Feb. 28 when a standard Koenigsegg CCR maintained an average speed of 241.01 mph over the 7.77-mile banked Nardo test track in Italy. A slightly modified McLaren F1 hit 240.3 mph in a straight line at the Ehra proving ground in Germany in 1993.

I'll take two.

I saw a video of some British guy test driving that on a runway. Pretty cool! I just had to look it up right now to learn where this car is made. Sweden.

Would you put a "My other car is a Neon" bumper sticker on it?

Other car? Like you would be able to afford another car or even a house for that matter for what that thing costs.
