What is in a name?

Koenigsegg

     There are many cars out there with names that are difficult for me to pronounce, but do you think that stops my desire to drive one. You would be wrong if you said yes. My midwestern American accent is difficult to wrap around the likes of a Koenigsegg, but WOW they make remarkable vehicles. Founded in 1994, this Swedish auto maker really concentrated on looks and performace. With zero to sixty times well under four seconds these cars are amazing. In 2010 they released a five liter twin turbo, 910 bhp v8 model with a seven speed gear box. Carbon fiber is the material of choice and it is expensive. That cost, of course, is passed on to the consumer. "You gotta pay to play" With sticker prices skirting the 300 thousand US dollar range, they should prove to be a wonderful drive if the "You-get-what-you-pay-for" adage is correct.
     Even "funkier" is the Pagani Huayra, I really liked the Pagani Zonda when it was released but this is "another level" of vehicle. If you are fortunate enough to drive or, pause for gasp, own one of these consider yourself one of the lucky few. With a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed around 225mph this is a race car for the streets. But highly refined, it employs the use of a seven speed sequential gear box and a dual disk clutch. Mercedes AMG division provides the engine for the Huayra, 5980cc twin turbo V12. Dry sump lubrication keeps it lubricated well.

     Weather I can say their names or not, they are wonderful.
