Apex: The story of the hypercar, featuring the creation of the One:1.

It's on netflix and DEFINITELY worth a watch.

Jay needs to find a helmet that actually fits.

And holy crap, the One:1 is light for such a monster. A Miata would need over 1,000 hp to achieve the same power to weight

I wonder what Jay's hat size actually is... This looks like a loaner helmet, but even when he wears his own helmet it seems pretty tight.

0 to 200 to 0 in 17 seconds I CAN hold my breath that long. I can only dream of doing it.

I'm much more interested in the Regera than the One:1. The One:1 is just the latest revision of the same supercar Koenigsegg's been making since day one, with everything turned up to 11. Yes it's a great car and they make big improvements every time, but compared to the high-end hybrid supercars the One:1 is a bit ordinary. It's because Christian von Koenigsegg remained an EV skeptic much longer than even a supercar designer should have.

With the Regera they finally had to build a hybrid to take advantage of all that wasted energy, and they came out with a radically different hydraulic transmission, PLUS an even newer revision of the engine used in the One:1.

You'll need to log in to post.
