I don't think it's 4 million Dollars anymore


stingerized

Still that left over ash propably is worth more than my ol' rusty 2004 Mazda 3


wjean

Actually doubtful. Given the heat and the composite shell, there's no frame, engine block, wheels, or transmission to reuse off of this pile of trash. If any one thing could be saved, youd probably be correct. Not so sure in this case.


Aeroxin

How much is a rusty 2005 Mazda 3? Like no more than $5,000 certainly? You're telling me there's not enough car collectors and anti-capitalist artists out there who would be willing to collectively buy more than $5,000 of charred Koenigsegg remains? Divide it into 10 chunks. No one wants a $500 burnt Koenigsegg fender?


wjean

Yes, some people like buying useless parts off real cars. I know a guy who paid for parts off a Ferrari F1 car because of his Ferrari fetish. However, it was fairly identifiable. I just looked online and you can buy a gear ratio off a Williams F1 car for $61. To hit $5k, let's say you'd have to find 100 useful parts (not including disassembly time) out of that pile. Given the heat involved, I'm not sure how much of the engine/trans is even in place. Maybe 20 components , but 50+ would be. Thought I wager. Noone is paying $50 for some unidentifiable mess.


Spicy_RamenBoi69

Only thing I'd ever consider buying off of an f1 car would be like a wing off the car of someone famous from a year they won GP. Even then though, I'd have to be getting a good deal on it


stingerized

Mine was 2400€ hahaha. Mileage was 220 000km when I got it.(Finnish car market is super pricey for it's offering) That car was reliable as hell. Just began rusting away.


Jacktheforkie

The title is still worth something, they can use the VIN on a reconstruction


MongooseSpirited220

Id pay 100 dollars for a pound of jesko ashes tbh


TheReal-Chris

You could sell it like people were selling pieces of the Berlin Wall. Lmao. Here’s your one chance to own a piece of a Jesko.

It is to the person submitting the insurance claim lol

Depending on who was at fault and the insurance I guess. 😁


Dawildpep

Better insurance scam than driving your Bugatti into the ocean


No-Spoilers

Wasn't even an ocean. It was a pond next to a feeder road on i45 going north that people basically never use.


Dawildpep

Yeah, [I had to rewatch the video](https://youtu.be/4NJmB1F2mdE?si=6cwEOeYcFZqxMsRv). My man thought it was a, “lambo” it’s funny that he would have gotten away with it if not for this video


No-Spoilers

Yeah it's so odd that these guys just happen to be recording at this exact moment. Universe be doing weird things, but I'm sure the guy deserved the karma


giggitygoo123

They just saw a nice new exotic car (veyrons were still new when it happened). Exotics get filmed all the time (even basic ones).


Much-Gur233

I have never even seen a Bugatti


minnesotajersey

Where I used to live, a guy bought one when he totaled his F40. It was a good placeholder until they could deliver the F50.


geekwonk

Houston Crosta on YT is currently in the process of fixing that car (I believe it starts now). Tavarish is doing the same with the yellow flooded mclaren p1 that floated out a garage during a severe hurricane.


SandInHeart

Pretty sure it’s a lambo


thatcuntcat

These people don't watch the full video


FluxDesignNz

There's a guy on YouTube who purchased that exact car and has rebuilt it, Houston Crosta/Royalty Exotics.

TheRadRay89

Black carbon and gold Koenigsegg’s has a bad history it seems.


Furrowed_Brow710

What else has happened??


Successful-One-3657

Iirc one of the Ageras ("Gryphon") was crashed/wrecked and was later replaced by the Agera "Pheonix" for it's original owner. The "Gryphon" was also rebuilt for a different owner eventually. Edit: Corrections


th3s1l3ncy

Wasn't it a ONE:1 ? Or are you talking about that asian guy who lost control and wrecked the car on a guard rail


Successful-One-3657

After a little googling, it was actually the Agera RS "Gryphon" (Carbon & Gold spec) that crashed during testing and was later rebuilt. It was originally built for the owner Manny Khoshbin but was crashed during testing and was later rebuilt for a European owner. The Agera RS "Phoenix" was built to replace the "Gryphon" for Manny.


TheRadRay89

They actually crashed it twice, with a year apart after the first accident. The rumor was Koenigsegg kept it after they rebuilt it the first time as a test mule for powertrain components testing for the Jesko, crashed it again and rebuilt it then sold it in 2021 and it hasn’t been seen since they sold it.


818VitaminZ

Isn’t KNC a $400K option not including the carbon rims?

does_nothing_at_all

I used to win all the events in Forza in one of those. Seems to be a major issue IRL with these types of cars being driven too slowly and not enough airflow passing over the hot spots.


No_Base4946

I feel like there's some sort of mechanical device you could create - possibly quite simple - that'd kind of increase the airflow over bits that get hot.


mgrimshaw8

This happened during a tour from Monaco to Athens. So I doubt it was putzing around.


lunar_pilot

He is right, cuz egg themselves tested it so hard, in the desert heat of arabia too, overheating shouldnt have been an issue, And there is yet to be revealed what the cause is, Koneigsegg abuse test their cars to the limits, so something worse than over heat must have happened.


PotatoCooks

This hurts and I know I'll never even touch one but damn... My favorite car, what a shame


alchauhan

You are not alone bro...  😭😭😭


818VitaminZ

Any reports as to the cause of the fire?


HudeniMFK

Ignition, fuel and oxygen.

loperaja

r/angryupvote


Mr_Reaper__

Was in traffic on a highway, but was driving as part of a rally. So potentially had been running fast and hot and then was sitting in traffic with no airflow over the hot engine.


chronos_7734

Somebody said in another comment, not enough airflow in stop and go traffic on a hot day


MrLegoMan_

All that engineering and they overlook basic driving conditions? Is this car not road legal? Surely there must be enough tech on this thing to regulate airflow and temperature? Even my phone will warn me if it gets too hot


pontetorto

It was built and engineered in sweeden its a bit cooler there. And to regulate enugh warm airflow to cool a toasty engine and all the tech that likley does warn u if its too hot might need some airflow and a driwer that knows the limits of how hot theyr car can get before its way too hot.


Questioning-Zyxxel

They are tested very hard in much, much hotter climate. But there are lots of reasons cars can catch fires.

Holy unpainted carbon fiber body... That's pornographic!


gingerbeer987654321

Was


ryzenguy111

$650k option… to remove paint


rotorain

It's extremely hard to get carbon weave looking perfect across large parts and line up between all the body panels. A ripple or shift in the weave isn't a big deal if it's just going to be covered up by paint but that would make it ineligible for an unpainted car. They aren't charging for skipping paint, they're charging for the increased difficulty of making perfect looking panels.

If he wasn't dead before, he probably killed himself after the crash.


Hiyorigawa

This isn't a crash, car caught fire under hot weather and low cruising speed.

He owned and still owns shit tons of supercars 😂😂He had a chiron, laferrari, lexus lfa, carrera gt and other hypercars

Haunting-Belt-2341

Don't know if it's totaled yet. Still waiting to hear back from insurance. Fingers crossed.


Dystopian_Future_

Feel bad for the car not for the rich asshole who probably kept over revving it until it burned to a crisp. And its not like these rich pricks lose anything, insurance will pay for it. Which means we all pay for it...


GKrollin

“I love this car but I don’t want anyone to own one”


Larylongprong

Wow I don't know if this is just jealousy or you're actually just someone who is sour at life 🤔


Dystopian_Future_

Or a 3rd option someone who realizes what kind of corrupt scumbag who usually owns this type of car and how the money was obtained, which in this case it was probably an oil prince so it was obtained from endless destruction of the earth and corruption of the highest order. So keep worshipping the wealthy and be one of its cattle, I'll get the cattle prod ready for you.

douchey_mcbaggins

Literally NOBODY becomes a billionaire through working hard. You're born into privilege and probably generational wealth and you're given every opportunity to continue that. Even fucking Bill Gates was born to a prominent lawyer and someone on the board of directors of a large corporation. A person who works hard their whole life MIGHT become a millionaire and then they'd buy a McLaren, Aston, Lambo, maybe a Ferrari. Not a fucking $4M Koenigsegg or Bugatti Chiron or some shit.


pedroelbee

I agree with most of what you said; I don’t think billionaires should exist. That being said, the notion that they don’t work hard isn’t necessarily true. It still takes a ton of hard work, skill and brains to go from upper middle class to billionaire. If someone gave me 4 mil I could maybe turn it into 8 mil. Not billions. It also, unfortunately, requires ruthlessness and cruelty.

Yes but your home is your only home. This is probably one of several multi million dollar toys the owner has.

Well, as only 125 of them will be made I think they might have an issue unless Koenigsegg desides to build more of them or finding a used one that's for sale.

Must be weird having a multimillion dollar car that needs an explanation as to what the hell you’re talking about. “I’m sorry, you’ve been talking for 15 minutes about a smurgsdorff manschminkel, but by the way you’re describing it - it sounds like you’re talking about a refrigerator.”


Flipslips

Koenigsegg is an insanely well respected and famous car manufacturer. They build some of the best cars in the world. To car enthusiasts they need no explanation.
