Those seats are amazing in the Koenig. They have tempur material for the pads you see on there. Same stuff they make the tempurpedic beds and pillows out of. Molds nicely to you when you're going 0-60 in what, 4 seconds? Silly swedes!

Yeah the Koeing is made in Sweeden not Australia, it has a Cosworth V8 block with a Sweedish Supercharger and Sweedish headwork, and the seats are mor like butter suede on top of a kevlar seatback.

I know for a fact the seats are not suede. They may have a suede covering over the tempur material. I know this cause the Koenig site says so

Sorry i think you have misunderstood me. The car is made in Sweden, but they hired an Australian guy to go there and designed the car or something, i don't know. I remember read it on Australian magazine, with his Picture on it, beside the car i think it was 1-2 years ago.

But anyway maybe he Involved on the 2000 model and got Fired or something

cheers

I'm trying to confirm my test drive on the 16th Nov

I will contact Frank the driver of the only america version of the Koenig egg CC8R to test drive it in Boca Raton on the 16th of this month. I will video record the whole experiance and try to upload the event. :D :D I'm sure i will be smiling for weeks. I might even asked them if they will sponsor my new company Control Hair & Skin Care System. Gotta think big!! Thats me in the Mercedes McLaren SLR, Ohoo what a feeling!!

How to buy a Koenig egg CC8R

Frank told me that in order to purchase one I must give him $200K then they will call me to custom fit my seats on the drivers side. Then I must give him an other $300K then he will personally give me the keys of my Koenigegg CC8R. I told him I think about it!! Here is what the seat in side of the Koenig looks like!! Buy the way this is what the McLaren F-1 $3.5 Million Dollar car looks like from the drivers seat!! Wow!!

They make them custom to match the length of your... ummm.

Yes, it does look kinda long to me. Not like any performance shifter I've seen.
Gotta be a reason for it...
