      Home of the Mad All kidding aside, Clarkson simply didn't have his contract renewed, he wasn't actually fired, so there's always a possibility of him returning to BBC programming, but that's doubtful now that he has a new show. As for the sound guy... I'd wager he's still employed. I know the original lead producer left the show to go with Clarkson & co., but I think the other people are staying.

    Seeing how far Koenigsegg has come since the CCX is just outstanding. I'll never own one nor see one outside of a car show, but the pictures alone are so beautiful to look at and worth it. The engineering itself is wild. They made a three valve engine put out as much horsepower as the V8 in the CCX. A tiny engine with so much power and the tech will only get better as time goes on.

Docent matter that their are other faster car models(& may even more pricey) today. I would chose that model anyway(also its the original).

    At the end of the day, Koenigsegg crushed all the famous car brands when it comes to super cars. The Jesko destroys all competition. Because the owner is a huge car nerd, not a traditional corporate owner. He didn't rule with a whip, he encouraged new ideas from all his people. Because he's in the first generation of the ownership. He still has all the passion about the car, not about making money.
    1600HP on that small engine, with a gearbox that isn't really a gearbox anymore, that is a hybrid, with that small weight, well... it's insane. They crushed them all. Koenigsegg and his team of engineers are pure geniuses.
