blogentry-133713-0-86878400-1432742767_thumb.pngDriven by factory driver Robert Serwanski, Koenigsegg took its One:1 hypercar to Japan where it participated at this year’s ‘Sound of Engines’ event, held at the legendary Suzuka circuit. The 1322bhp hypercar appeared there for demonstration purposes and was said to be running on standard aero setup and regular fuel, hence it wasn't in the optimum set up for achieving the best possible lap time.

 

That said, it still did an unofficial fastest laptime of 2:17.57 minute, almost 2 seconds faster than a 2012 Nissan R35 GT-R.

 

Robert Serwanski was quoted after the laps:

 

“We had to take care of the brakes a little. It was an oversight on our part, but we didn’t put new pads in before shipping the car to Japan and we didn’t bring fresh pads with us. Hard braking was an issue as a result, which will influence the speed at which you approach a corner. While we were carrying an extra person in the car in all of our laps, this wasn’t a big factor. It does affect your steering and braking at the limit, but we were not at the limit today.”

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
