Damn! I would sell my left testicle for one of these! Ouch! You can have one for a mere $541,000 US Dollars. ;)

If you can sell the right one too, I'll be driving this monster ;D
Only problem, you need balls to drive 241 MPH. Always something to get in the way! :D
The guy that started the company says ; If you haven't seen the Future, you aren't driving fast enough.
that's why YOU are going to sell the right one for me ;)
so I'll drive this beauty with my watermelons still attached to my body !!!
watermelons????? You must walk very funny and carefully. :D
hehehe
big balls, dude... big balls...
damn, seriously, i really would like to try something like this car once in my life... that must be totally crazy !
It needs a spoiler on the back though, it's completely uncontrollable even at low speeds because it has pretty much no downforce

I just saw it break the land speed record for production cars at 241 MPH on The History Channel. I think they figured that out. ;)
...
you just need to know how to drive
just watched some tests on videos... great car, great sound !
lolz dis is my favourite car Well the ccx is ;)!!!!!!!!!

you need to watch the top gear show when they test it its unbelievable ae no one can control it because it is to powerful they had to stick a spoiler on it
Yeah, even the Stig (Michael Shumacher?) crashed it pretty badly without the spoiler...
The owner of the company and designer/co-designer of the car seems legendary for his attention to detail; I'm surprised about the downforce issue. Car designers seem to almost always overlook that only half of the air is going over the top of the car as it drives...the other half? Under the car! So the underside is almost always overlooked on street cars, when looking to decrease drag (and there's a ton of very un-aerodynamic junk down there).
Just thinking out loud at this point mind you... I recall the last-gen 300zx had specially designed wheels that were made to suck air out from under the car... and F1's make so much downforce they can drive upside-down at speed. Ages ago I was a mechanic for a shop that specialized in Z-cars and also built track racers besides the street stuff. One of the "bibles" of race-prepping Z's had a photo of a 240z with and without a front spoiler. Without, because of its airfoil shape, the car lifted about four inches above normal ride height!
Wonder why the otherwise immaculately designed CCR would overlook something so obvious, considering it's -made- to go that fast.
Looks like the CCXE has the rear spoiler http://www.koenigsegg.com/models.php?model=ccxe&model_submenu=info (http://www.koenigsegg.com/models.php?model=ccxe&model_submenu=info)
If I had enough money to buy that car I would instead pay for college, but a much more fuel effecient car, then buy a monster computer for TG2! Still, it's an absolutely beautiful vehicle ;D
Hey, I've just watched a program in The History Channel about this car and it's developer. AWESOME!!!
"If you haven't seen the Future, you aren't driving fast enough." - Einstein so agrees with him....
Hmm, McLaren F1 (my favorite still!) was "production" and went that fast, and also didn't have a full spoiler, had channels under the body that provided downforce. These guys aren't clever enough to imitate years later? ;D

Bugatti Veyron is faster, but still, none of these are nice to look at.
I'm with Oshyan. McLaren F1 can do this and it is also beautiful.
But if we aint talking about the fastest cars, Porsche 911 GT2 (http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-2008/r-z-0-9/2008-TechArt-GTstreet-RS-based-on-Porsche-911-GT2-Rear-Angle-Speed-1600x1200.jpg) is my biggest dream :)

this is my dream car
