What I would do for a Koenigsegg
I am not that big of a bugatti fan, sure it would be cool to have but the body styling isn't my favorite I would have a lambo over it any day

Forget the fact that the guy who did that is just an average Joe and not a factory driver, the straight at Nurburgring is shorter than the one at the test track Bugatti uses for their record runs.

Yeah, the straight is roughly 1.33 miles long, and it looks like in the video they didnt even need 3/4's of that. I'd be worried if I were Bugatti.

I'd take an Agera over the Veyron, Bugatti is slowly stepping it up; but the styling just isnt there for me........as an interesting side note; the early K's used a base Ford engine
