So, do they take Discover Card?

I presume that's a credit card. What's your credit limit? You will need $1.9 million. 😲😁

Then we have the new Gemera, a bit cheaper at $1.7 million. The engine is a three cylinder camless petrol unit. Two litres each cylinder. Respectable horsepower for a three cylinder engine, 590hp, but the electric drive train boosts it to 1700hp. Same single 7th gear. Fancy elec-trickery and torque convertors make up for only one gear. 249 mph. 0 - 60 1.9 seconds. There's a module on each cylinder to take the place of a cam shaft. 

Or of course if you are feeling like really splashing out you could go for the Jesco at $2.8 million.

The above are starting prices of course. 🙄

Can I fit 2 in my garage?  Hate to park it on the street!

Cool car. Just too bad you have to be some kind of oligarch to even afford the rear view mirrors.

Starting prices in the millions of dollars? Retarded beyond belief.

You would think so at first glance. But they do sell them and the company is profitable. So maybe not so retarded given there is a market for them. 

$125 million is Christian Von Koenigsegg's net worth, so he's doing something right. 

I like how they didn't drive it. And how it probably won't ever be driven that much - even thought that's the entire purpose of the device. 

If and when they do drive it, I could see it being a very painful and stressful experience - can you imagine driving through a muddy puddle, or kicking up a pebble or two on the highway? Small ding on the wheel well? $10,000 in damage. And now your perfect museum quality work of art isn't perfect anymore - and never will be again - it's used and slightly dirty. Time to get a new toy.

I would personally have more fun and less stress driving a Miata around a track than that thing. Not that I would refuse the opportunity in either case though 🙂

They certainly do drive them. You'll fing lots of videos of hypercars being driven on the road. Clearly you arent going to drive a two million dollar car to the shops every day to pick up your cats food, but yes, they are driven.
