Congrats...looking forward for more pics

 

Great news Kris! I think I'm one of the few that knows the color though Aiming for legendary

 

Thank You!

Thanks! The build has changed a lot over the past year. It is completely different. I hope all is well!

 

Congrats! I really hope your car will be delivered in time for Pebble Beach to steal the show there

I've heard about at least 35 cars coming to the States with 9 of them going to Beverly Hills Pagani dealership and I suppose Miami area shouldn't be far behind in terms of Huayra orders.

 

I hope it can make it for Pebble Beach!!

35 Huayras in America would be great! With the global demand I think North America will be lucky to get 10 allocations per year with 5-7 of them coming to the USA. So, it may take a few years to get there. Hopefully sooner than later!! I want to see them in the wild!!

Thanks Everyone!

 

There is going to be a U.S.-spec One:1 built, and by the time it arrives next year, Koenigseggs will be fully U.S. legal again, including compliant advanced airbags.

 

I don't believe that the One:1 or any other Koenigsegg will be street legal in the United States anytime in the near future. I hope I'm wrong but I've been told by someone who is very well informed that Koenigsegg's plan for the US is to bring cars in via Show and Display - not fully street legal.

 

It has been my steadfast opinion that additional Ageras will not qualify for Show and Display, as technically they were available for sale in the U.S. previously. That this resulted in only one MY2013 car making it here will be of little difference, unless someone could make a case for a specific Agera being of particular historical/technological significance.

Copied from a post of mine elsewhere:

There is a notion that someone could import an Agera on their own from this point forward under the Show and Display rule, but personally I don't think that will be possible. Copied from the NHTSA website:

NHTSA will consider the following factors, among others:
1. Whether a vehicle of the same make, model, and model year was manufactured and certified for sale in the United States.
2. Whether a vehicle of the same make, model, and model year has been determined eligible for importation pursuant to 49 CFR Part 593.
3. Whether the vehicle is currently in production.
4. Whether more than 500 of the vehicles were produced.
5. Whether the vehicle is a kit car, replica, or special construction vehicle.
If the answer to any of the above is affirmative, you should not expect NHTSA to grant permission for importation. If the answer to item 4 is affirmative, the applicant must establish that the vehicle is of exceptional technological and/or historical significance.


Pay particular attention to points 1 and 3. We know that the MY2013 Koenigsegg Agera was certified for sale in the U.S., and the Agera model is currently in production. The fact that there were only two such compliant examples built (and only one sold) probably makes no difference, that's Koengisegg's problem. So to import an Agera henceforth under Show and Display will require establishing its "exceptional technological and/or historical significance."

Koenigsegg is likely too young of a company to have the required level of historical significance. So one would have to approach such a task from the technological aspect. Is the Agera so overwhelmingly technologically significant to warrant its import into the U.S. on grounds of Showing and Displaying it to the masses?


In any case, I have my info on quite good authority. Any new Koenigsegg ordered now wouldn't be here until 2015 anyway, and I'm told by then they will be fully legal without S&D.

We're getting a bit off topic here, so if you want check out my website Koenigsegg-Registry.net. I'm certainly nobody's idea of a web designer and it's still under construction, but hopefully you'll like it.

 

Factory visit was very good thanks. I can't wait for you to post pictures of the car. I want to see how correct I am after my visit to the factory Knowing my luck I will be wrong on the lot!!!

 

It doesn't matter till they are street legal. Till then it's all talk. I wish them the best. I think they make some very interesting cars and if they ever become fully street legal I will give them a closer look. Until they have a fully street legal car, I don't consider Koenigsegg to be a serious part of any discussion.

I wish you the best with your site!
