With A Sale Price Of $15,000 each. They would sell 6 Billion Cars in the first week = $90,000,000,000,000. Yea 90 Trillion Dollars in one week...

Uh sumfing wrong wif your mafs there. Nano tech would save $15000 of fuel through a trucks lifetime. In south africa they sell the first koenigsegsegseg at about R45million div by about 7 thats $6.4million that kinda money would mean winning the lotto about 4.5 times - then you would still have to sell your shoes to buy gas!

@ Robert DuBois....be nice if you actually read the article. The 15,000 euro is the fuel cost savings over the life of a heavy duty truck when using the nano-surface cylinder sleevings.
Quite sure the engine in that car is worth more than twice 15,000 euro. Back in the mid-1990's, a Porsche Carrera engine went for $20,000.

But they would have to spend more then 999 trillion to make those 6 billion cars.

'The new Agera R has what Koenigsegg claims is the world's first hollow, one piece, carbon fiber wheel'
Maybe it's the first hollow carbon wheel on a CAR, but it's not the WORLD's first. Competition bicycles and even wheelchairs have been using monocoque carbon wheels for years, companies like Zipp and Corima have been making them. Others like Dymag already make them for motorcycles - it's great to see the auto industry finally catching up though!
Otherwise wonderful looking car though, brilliant article thanks! I have no idea what these guys are talking about with the $15,000 / nine trillion comments though... ????

....figures for speeds below 273 mph are also impressive - 0-300 km/h in 14.53 sec and 0-200 mph in 17.68 seconds....
Why is the 0-300 kph time faster than the 0-200 mph time??? 200 mph is approximately 322 kph. Why are the 2 time to speeds in kph and mph? Why the different methods of measuring?

I betcha them carbun wheels is 15K a pop.

Peet I think you answered your own question. The power necessary to maintain speed increases as the square of the speed

How many gallons per mile at 200+ MPH? Does the roof box include a method to limit the top speed so it won't rip loose?
