The latest is based on the M2 and honors the 02 Series of coupes that went into production 50 years ago. Sadly, the Hommage cars are pure design studies and aren’t meant for production.

The BHP Project’s Koenigsegg One:1, Vmax200 - May 2016

Koenigsegg’s One:1 recently hit 240 mph in just 1.4 miles of tarmac at the latest Vmax200 held in the United Kingdom.
