Daniel AnglevikJan 24, 2013 UP to 60%tax. A normal incom let say 50USD/year (330-350.000SEK) will be about 30-36%tax.
Grant PaquinJan 23, 2013 Justin- swedes actually get things done with tax money. Here in the US that's questionable.
Justin JohnsonJan 23, 2013 Anders, really?
WTF is the US complaining about?
Ben KnorrJan 23, 2013 This thing just oozes quality. You just know its been thoroughly engineered, tested and refined. probably the best hypercar money can buy right now.
William DownsJan 23, 2013 At least that's what I read, car buzz says differently
William DownsJan 23, 2013 The 200hrs is for everything not just polishing, and they Polish by hand not with buffers or anything, ever polished a car by hand? Takes a long time but the finish is better then with a electric buffer
Eric MichalakJan 23, 2013 This is one of my favorite car manufacturers. So much attention to detail and they get the important things right. Like being able to stow the roof in the front compartment rather than having to leave it behind.
Anders SchrøderJan 23, 2013 30$ an hour? Thats sweet. We are getting well paid I Scandinavia. 100$ per hour is what I guess such a person will get per hour. The company properly charge a lot more. Remember, we pay as much as 60% in taxes.
Justin JohnsonJan 23, 2013 Ask for the "raw" finish and at $30 an hour (guess) the car is discounted to $994,000
Jesse JalapenoJan 23, 2013 Agreed..but if you have the money to buy one in the first place, you probably don't cre
Guo-Sheng HuangJan 23, 2013 Do they say that so they can charge the customers more? I have hard time understanding the 200 hours needed to polish one car regardless how beautiful it might be.

Trent FialaJan 31, 2013 If you payed attention he said about 1 to 1.5 kilos and one kilo is 2.2lbs so do the math lol
Coleman DuCharmeJan 25, 2013 The polishing takes 200 HOURS?!?!
Well, Christian, I'd say your OCD has been put to good use.
Nick JonesJan 23, 2013 I alway hear that the customer can choose any color they want but I always see the same colors
Ryan FaberJan 23, 2013 think about picking up a 1 gallon bucket filled with clear coat and then an empty bucket. I read somewhere that 1 gallon of water weighs 10 lbs. I can only imagine clear has to be heavier because of its density.
Serge PankratovJan 23, 2013 Lol at the MAACO comment. On the other hand, how much weight does clearcoat add?? 4lbs max??
Tho MAJan 23, 2013 For a million it better be tedious. If you want a half ass paint job go to Maaco
Justin RouthJan 24, 2013 The Venom IS based off a lotus chassis you know... Its hard to say this but id put my money on the venom
William DownsJan 24, 2013 U know this for a fact Skyler? Cause at the moment the venom has been seen killing it on a track, but Agera we still haven't seen yet so don't jump to conclusions just cause u like the Agera more
Jack HowardJan 23, 2013 And once again, people are just pulling shit out of their ass and posting it.
Skyler WhiteJan 23, 2013 Koenigsegg would embarrass the venom on a track, are you kidding me?
William DownsJan 23, 2013 Only one real way to find out, race them... but I might have to give an advantage to the venom just because of the weight difference, if the driver can keep the back end in check the venom will do great on a track... but the Agera is a koenigsegg so who knows
Luke PurdyJan 23, 2013 -@jack it might not, venom has a shorter wheelbase but who knows
