I like the removeable hard top and the way the doors open. Cool car.

from what i've read before, the car designer comes from a very rich family (koenigsegg = the king of kings).

there is a pic of him in the images and movies link. at one point during the design process, he lost all his body hair due to stress (i dont remember the name of the medical condition).

Yeah stress is a major killer nowadays...(heart attacks, strokes, etc..)
