Doesn't exactly look in control there. Not a good thing to be doing with so many pedestrians around. It would look a little more convincing if he didn't knock his indicator on

Wasnt really launch control though was it, more like pulled out and gave it the beans and got a semi fishtale...

I say its either well controlled or abit of a fail.

The thing is it’s not even his car. It belongs to his uncle the guy with the Koenigsegg in the same colour called "Special One"

Now what will uncle have to say if he ends up wrapping it around a pedestrian rolleyes

So he nearly stalled it then knocked the indicator on and veered left? Great driving!

Surely you have to be stopped for launch control to work?

Otherwise your just rolling, giving it the beans and nearly crashing.

Agreed a st driver, but IMO these people videoing them are only encouraging them to drive like this.

Oh the poster who knows it's his uncles car....bit stalkerish maybe?!

I know what you're saying re. videoing it, but the OP's not asking to drive like a tool! But by posting "so amazing", I feel it's being condoned.

He should write for one of the red tops. Launch control? Headline grabbing bks!

Looks like Sloane Street. Driver is a bellend. Note the zebra crossing right in front of him and the people who jump out of the road.

strange that they can do this in the middle of a crowded street and not get police attention, nice car, cool noise, but kind of risky in a street don,t you think.

Nope not stalking at all. There is another video around here where the owner of the Lambo is taking one of these video guys for a ride in his Koenigsegg, when he drives past the lambo and comments that it is his but his nephew is currently driving it. This guys pics are all over the internet at the moment as all his super cars are painted the same baby blue colour. Here are a couple of examples:








And lets not forget his his up and coming Zonda

Fair point, often thought that in these videos when they are parked on double yellows, etc

But then if they get a ticket, its not exactly going to trouble them to pay it, is it? (assuming the warden can write out the reg for the ticket!.........)

Fair enough, it's not that often I look at all the youtube videos posted on here. That Koenigsegg looks awesome in that colour!

I saw someone in an SLR722 do a similar thing in the same place last night and funnily enough the marked police car about 3 cars back in traffic just carried on driving!

Maybe they know the car and that the occupants have diplomatic immunity?

Or that they couldn't do anything meaningful anyway?
I guess there aren't many matte black SLR722S Roadsters around, even in London hehe

Not quite sure how you even know who is driving it? The guy who owns this car is about 19 so I dont think he is anyones uncle...
