I feel the same way about Koenigsegg. the Veyron name, and now Chiron, always get mentioned whenever people bring up these types of conversations, but you rarely hear koenigsegg get mentioned. I'm guessing its due to the koenigsegg production numbers not qualifying it for the same production car status, but performance wise, up until Chiron, all koenigsegg models walk all over any other supercar or hypercar from the same era, esp in the top end. nothing comes close when it comes to acceleration from 200+.

while the Chiron may now seem to have a slight advantage in top speed, in my opinion this is still the best hypercar on the market

Its what a hypercar should be about. Incorporating technology and modern drivetrain. Hybrid power, electric motors and no conventional gearbox.

speaking of high tech drive trains...

not sure what the outright top speed will be (probably limited) but having an F1 driveline in a road car is awesome.
