Koenigsegg One:1 – How To Buy One

Koenigsegg One:1

THE FOLLOWING IS A REINACTMENT OF A FICTIONAL INTERACTION THAT AN ANONYMOUS EXOTIC CAR BROKER HAD WITH A WELL-TO-DO CLIENT ABOUT A REAL CAR

ONE PERCENTER: (broker’s name) Do you have anything new here today? I’m tired of my current set of “toys”.

BROKER: You mean the Gulfstream and the Al Mirqab are not to your liking anymore?

ONE PERCENTER: No. They are fine. They get me from point A to B alright. I just need something that I can pilot myself.

BROKER: We just took your order for the McLaren P1. Don’t you like it anymore?

ONE PERCENTER: It’s so passe’; so yesterday’s news.

BROKER: Well I can get you any number of Ferrari or Lamborghini special models…

ONE PERCENTER: Blah, blah, blah. The bull and the horse have been done to death.

BROKER: A Porsche 918?

ONE PERCENTER: No.

BROKER: A nice Aston Martin One-77?

ONE PERCENTER: No!

BROKER: A Spyker?

ONE PERCENTER: Please….

BROKER: Huayra?

ONE PERCENTER: Gezundtheit!

BROKER: Zenvo?

ONE PERCENTER: The nerve…I think not.

BROKER: Phantom?

ONE PERCENTER: Everybody has one.

BROKER: Koenigsegg?

ONE PERCENTER: I beg your pardon?

BROKER: A Koenigsegg.

ONE PERCENTER: Connie’s egg?

BROKER: No, Koenigsegg. A very exclusive, very fast and very expensive ultra-exotic, limited-edition hypercar.

ONE PERCENTER: I like the sound of that. Go on….

BROKER: They have a brand new model. It’s called the One:1, which fits you perfectly.

ONE PERCENTER: Tell me more!!

BROKER: It’s fitted with Koenigsegg’s own twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 design. It uses variable geometry turbochargers. Its power is incredible: 1,341 horsepower. Torque, meanwhile, is 1,011 pound-feet.

ONE PERCENTER: The neighbor’s Veyron Super Sport is blazingly fast. How about this car?

BROKER: Considering the One:1 will weigh 1,360 kilograms (2,998 lbs.) or less, Koenigsegg is confident the One:1 could eclipse the Bugatti.

ONE PERCENTER: (leans in and whispers) What did the neighbors shell out for that Super Sport?

BROKER: (whispers) You know that’s confidential.

ONE PERCENTER: (whispers) C’mon….It’s just you and me, talkin’.

BROKER: (whispers) Let’s say it was upwards of 2 million.

ONE PERCENTER: How much is the Kunisyeg?

BROKER: Koenigsegg.

ONE PERCENTER: Yes. That’s it. How much?

BROKER: About $2 million.

ONE PERCENTER: A bargain. I’ll take it.

BROKER: Very good. Shall I have it delivered to the next track day?

ONE PERCENTER: Certainly. (broker’s name) one more thing….

BROKER: Whatever you like….

ONE PERCENTER: I won’t be in for a while.

BROKER: Because you have finally topped them at the country club?

ONE PERCENTER: Because it will take me a while to pronounce the name.

BROKER: You can simply call it the One:1 because you will be one of six people on earth with one.

ONE PERCENTER: I like that.

BROKER: I knew you would.
