    Multiple Choice.
    If I had a Koenigsegg, the door styling would not bother me because:
    A) I would never want to get out of it
    B) I'm rich enough to replace dinged doors
    C) I will be exiting the car via the Jaws of Life.

    "Refer to it by anything other than a dihedral synchro-helix actuation system and Mr. von Koenigsegg, pictured above, will pummel you into linguistic submission with a carbon fiber reindeer femur."

    I believe I've declared to do the same thing previously on Jalopnik.

    It is such a pretentious showcase of useless technology. Ah, but what would a supercar be without a flashy way of getting into it?

    That guy that opened and then closed the door did it a very arrogant and pretentious manner. Sort of like when you see someone drink wine or tea with their pinkie sticking out.

    @snapoversteer 'bout to get told: The so-called "Top Gear" wings existed since the 90's.

    As for the spoiler in the video, yes. They are new since the CCXR.

    He should've named it the oxydihedral synchro-helix actuation system, or ODISYHAS for short.

    Isn't diamond dust just an industrial abrasive? You can be diamond-dust-encrusted saw blades for less than ten bucks a piece. Besides, either the pics don't do it justice or it really isn't very effective. #koenigseggccxr

    What's the black tongue poking out of the front of the car in picture #8? It looks like a black stretcher board for carrying an injured passenger from the (upcoming) wreck. #koenigseggccxr

    Pah. Carbon Fiber coated in diamond dust is nothing. Now if they could build the body out of Aerogel and paint it in moondust, then I might toss out the 5 mil. For that price the manual better be printed over a Gutenberg Bible. #koenigseggccxr
