That bit is news though.....
Dunno why they're making a point of saying it now though. Look at something like the turquouse CCX done for Ana al-Thani, the 'Special One'. There's clear evidence of Koenigsegg customisation from a few years ago.I apologise for the sweeping generalisation, but it seems that the super rich do like their cars to stand out. The Veyron, for instance, has so many special and limited editions that anything in a standard colour combination is probably (and perversely) more unique! That would still be more preferable than the results, when money and bad taste are allowed to overcome common sense. (When, for example, some E European is blinging up his Veyron, I'm sure the Bugatti salesman must be yearning to tell the customer to wise up, but is obviously unable to!)

Proof that money certainly does not buy you taste.

The point about taste is that it is subjective, and the point about wealth is that you can buy for your own individual tastes withought having to worry about having it in resale grey.

Also, the owner will probably get the interior re-trimmed and re-specced when it's flown back for a service. The point about taste is that it is subjective, and the point about wealth is that you can buy for your own individual tastes withought having to worry about having it in resale grey.
For all we know it'll probably have several interiors in as many years. Not a big deal at all in the grand scheme of things.

plus about 200% import tax for cars like this to China..
Exactly-tax rates are just headlines. The elite in countries like this do not pay anything like these rates.Krikkit said:
Strange acronyms aside, what's the performance of the Agera like? Looking at the numbers it must be so savage to be unusable at full chat by all but the most hairy-chested wheeler.

I love the Agera R, and I love Koenigsegg - the guy obviously has a very talented team of engineers with him, and these things do tug my heartstrings, but I've never been impressed by Koenigsegg's interiors, or Paganis for that matter. The Ks in particular look like kit car interiors with super-expensive materials. Paganis on the other hand, are over-styled tosh. If I was one of the ultra rich guys who could afford one of these, I'd want some serious time spent getting the interior done to my taste, which might not even be possible at all!
