Hanging out with a Sergio, a Pagani & a Koenigsegg. Totally in heaven. Pics don't do them justice.

The Koenigsegg is 1.3M, the Pagani is 2.6M and the Sergio is 3.5M. Now where are those lotto tickets.......

Yeah. Exquisite stuff. Lake forest sports cars outside of Chicago.

So is it for sale? Like it wasn't already spoken for? I assumed they were bought and paid for before they were built. The Sergio, that is.

Yes they were all sold before production.

I know sometimes high end dealerships will store those vehicles for customers. It's a good place to keep them and it brings people to the dealership. Perhaps that's what was going on there?

Dealership owners sometime have their personal collection inside also

Was at recent VERY high end car show here on Long Island, the usual gathering of million dollar cars. Koenigsegg, Porsche 918 custom, La Ferrari, etc in attendance.
But then this rolled in. I mean it kind of sucks when you're in a La Ferrari and no one is looking at you...:)
One of four Veneno's in the world, belongs to the owner of Lamborghini Long Island. 4+ million and only going up.
He wins.

I'm oddly on the fence about that car. Does that make me weird? I love the aventador. It's perfect, IMO. But this almost seems like an aventador with a body kit. What is the power train on it? Same wheelbase as an aventador?

Funny that's how I felt about the sergio. I really didn't like the styling. I'd take that Pagani for a million bucks less and be happier honestly. That Koenigsegg was epic too. Has a manual transmission, runs about one thousand hp with racing fuel. Good lord...

I actually like what Koenegsegg is and does as a company. They seem to always be pushing the limits of engineering and wow are those cars fast. I mean epic fast.

I love the craftsmanship and attention to detail in the Pagani. Just a work of art.

Are they bespoke? Like they don't make it till you order it?

Oh yeahh. Sorry for crappy cell pics but here's a few more. This one doesn't have a paintjob; the body is carbon fiber. It is such high quality craftsmanship that it's unreal. First thing I'm buying if I win power ball lotto on Saturday. Ha.

Edit: middle pic is engine bay of Koenigsegg

Though did you see the one some clown painted with batman?

According to jalopnik its an Argentinian artist. Here it is, for better or worse.

I'll take the pure carbon fiber one above. If you win that powerball, policy, I'll take an all carbon fiber model,as above, or a Koenegsegg. Your choice.

Power ball is up over one billion....If I hit the jackpot the first thing I buy will be this car collection....

I was gonna buy a ticket. If we both win, we will have to split the jackpot. What's even the point anymore if we have to do that?


Actually policy, if you win, you could get every VOA member a new Viper, and single handedly save the Viper platform, no?

Haha. True but no dice. And I spent 200 bucks on it.

Start a gofundme account to recoup your money. You wouldn't be the first. (See other thread.)

I saw. Crazy. No big. In 15 years our snakes will have great value. Especially our Red ones, everyone knows that they're the fastest.......:)

Definitely the best looking. At least that is a metric that isn't debatable. People will argue speed all day, but it's indisputable that vipers look best in red.

When my paint is washed and clean it really pops in the sun. It's one of the few cars I actually enjoy detailing myself. Great shapes and curves and quality paint. Ferrari and corvette are orange peel city, drives me nuts.

I saw a brand new vette the other day and was shocked at the Orange peel. Couldn't believe it.
