FIRST DRIVE: Koenigsegg Chimera - 1600bhp, Manual, Agera RS/Jesko/CC850 Mash-Up!
Christian von Koenigsegg is a glutton for engineering punishment. His Swedish hypercar company currently builds the Jesko (which has just set the 0-400km/h-0 record) and it’ll soon start delivering the new CC850 and Gemera to customers.
