But in all seriousness, what Konieegeeseegggaaeese are doing is pretty awesome. It's great to see a legit company coming up with something so far out and with so much potential. Plenty of nutbags have come up with "motoring revolutions" in the past which came to nothing. Koneorofgefefedlknfegsgseg have the runs on the board so it's worth watching.

this had been around in diesel tech for a few years now. Much easier to implement it on diesel as the size of the engine isnt a restriction i.e. plenty of room, and most diesels have an integrated air pump. Also, as it was relatively new tech back when, it was also more suited to diesel as it is a slower moving, albiet heavier system

koenigsegg's are probably my all time fantasy car.

such amazing machines. there's another video in that jalopnik series where the test driver slams the brakes at 300+kph and takes his hands off the wheel.

no squirreling. no pulling. stops dead straight.

mr koenigsegg is such a genuine, enthusiastic guy.

exciting times indeed

CvonK in previous documentaries has been innovative, open minded, motivated and with $$$ behind him, a risk-taker.

To implicate 30% more torque, 30% more power, 30% less fuel consumption & 50% less emissions with this concept, CvonK has much more to offer us in terms of transportation than 'just' a supercar in the years to come.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
