I suppose if you want a cramped little sportscar with 1000+hp it might prove itself as a seldom used amusing testosterone booster for some one with unlimited money,
Sexy? not a chance, Some Ferrari's are sexy

Sexy?

Very nice. A guy who lives near me showed his McLaren at the Festival of Speed 2011. It would have taken hours to properly inspect all the engineering design in that vehicle every inch was unusual and amazing.

That has to be the strangest (small) collection of cars to admire I've seen.

Accord and McLaren? (And Mercedes btw... )

The Koenigseggs are good looking cars, they look better in real life though, and sound absolutely amazing, especially flat out. From what I hear they actually ride very comfortably too... for a supercar.

Not sure if I get these threads though, the videos are from a computer game, not actual footage, one could be lead to believe it's hidden merchandising or something...

I look at it as just another supercar. I wouldn't say it's "sexy".
I will say this- it's an engineering masterpiece of high-tech materials and HP!

Butt-ugly exterior, IMHO. Sometimes less is more.

I don't think cars are sexy-just a way to get where you are going.

These cars are really "sexy" to me :

Sexy is subjective.

Are you saying the one he posted is cramped as these are too? If so I agree. These are death traps like a smart car.

Difference is if I was in a high speed accident I'd rather wreck in his than the ones you posted.

I believe the topic was about the car being sexy and not really about safety.
If we are talking safety i'll agree the modern koeniggsegg would come out ahead in crashes at similar speeds.
