The Koenigsegg One:1 Might Be About To Steal The Nurburgring Lap Record
Last year, it was looking like Koenigsegg was about to set a blistering time at the Nurburgring with the One:1. Christian von Koenigsegg had even talked confidently about shaving ‘double digits’ off the time set by the Porsche 918 Spyder - a machine that’s still the fastest street legal car to lap the Nordschleife, barring a couple of laps set by Radicals which many ignore since they’re pretty much racing cars.
Unfortunately, the effort had to be canned due to the circuit’s management bringing in speed restrictions on certain parts of the track. However, those restrictions were lifted earlier this year, and since the 1322bhp One:1 has been spied blasting around the Nurburgring this week, it looks like the record attempt is back on.
Watch this space…

That’d be great for them. :)
I put my faith in the One:1’s ability to destroy the 918’s lap time. Koenigsegg has always been known for making insane cars…Which steer, go, and empty your bank account fast..
Yet Koenigsegg themself said they won’t be trying to beat the lap record this year. As they are not fully prepared for it.

That’s because they don’t just want to beat it. They will obliterate the record with that car.
Well…. the vid is 3 minutes and 9 seconds
I don’t think they are going to go for a record. It’s most likely developmental testing. I remember reading an article where Mr. von Koenigsegg said the lap record isn’t important to him since he doesn’t need to prove anything to his customers
Meanwhile I’m waiting to the Viper ACR do some damage
I don’t think the acr really is in the same ballpark as those cars
Not if the P1 beats it first #lol
Hahaha no. The P1 would never come close to the One:1. After the One:1 gets to the Longback Straight, it’s all over.
It’s dat car!
O SH*T WADDUP!
Hope it does not beat the 918
It will. With ease
Damn… It looks fast… I wonder how it stands from P1
