\u201cWhat a bang for the buck,\u201d said Koenigsegg. He explained he wasn\u2019t just impressed by the C8\u2019s price, but also joked about feeling relieved that his cars could \u201cstill outrun it.\u201d Yeah, it would be awkward if they couldn\u2019t. And if you think Koenigsegg wouldn\u2019t be excited over something as low-dollar as America\u2019s sports car, think again.<\/p>\n
The nearly $2,000,000 Gemera. Koenigsegg<\/p>\n
\u201cThat GM can do that for that kind of money, with that kind of\u00a0level of performance\u00a0is mind-blowing,\u201d added Koenigsegg. \u201cAnd good for them, and good for their customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a reminder, the cheapest vehicle you can buy from the Swedish hypercar maker is\u00a0the $1.7-million Gemera<\/a>. And Koenigsegg told me all 300 are nearly sold out.<\/p>\n It\u2019s obvious that Koenigsegg and Chevrolet don\u2019t share the same clientele, but it\u2019s great to see a niche manufacturer complimenting a global giant for putting out a good product. It warms my heart. The one thing the two companies have in common, however, is that neither can satisfy customer demand.<\/p>\n \u201cThe last ten years have been like, we just cannot supply the demand,\u201d said Koenigsegg. The Swede claims that\u2019s a good thing\u2014you don\u2019t wanna put out too much product, ya know? For Corvette, well, not so much. Let\u2019s just hope the semiconductor crisis improves and another tornado\u00a0doesn\u2019t strike the factory<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Peter Holderith, The Drive<\/p>\n
