I LOVE Koenigsegg. They are so fantastic- a true super car, McLaren F1 style.

Thank you, OP.

What's most impressive with the Koenigsegg video is that they say the test mule has already done 60,000 miles over two years. Still not a lot of miles, but that's a good sign.
*60,000 kilometers

It may not be the first of its kind, but it doesn't seem like anyone else has put it in a car, and had it successfully work for over two years and almost 40k miles.
