    Thanks for posting - I enjoyed watching that!

    One thing annoyed me though is that Leno kept banging on about that the K'egg is half the weight of the Veyron, which is nonsense. He should know better than that.

    1180kg V 2034kg according to Wikipedia so it's not far off half.

    Just under 3000lb's for the Koenigsegg, and just under 4000 for the Veyron I think....?

    Not far off at all, sure saying "half" is easier than saying "854kg" so I can't blame them.

    They are two different cars.

    Not really. 1,000 BHP, 250 MPH, $1MM+ cars are few and far between.

    You could put a WW2 V12 Merlin engine in a spaceframe chassis, tart it up and sell it for $1m (could be fun to do:)).

    Seems this has been done already - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Merlin_alternative_uses :D:D

    Veyron 1900KG

    CCXR 1280KG

    The Veyron weighs 48% more. Not 100% more. Sorry if I'm being pedantic, I just can't stand when people (especially someone in the know like Leno) get their sums completely wrong :)
