This is a really fascinating video from Koenigsegg on how they manufacture their carbon fiber wheels and well worth the ≈ 12 minutes of the video.

The end result is a 19x10 wheel made entirely of carbon fiber with the exception of the air valve. The wheel weighs 12.98 pounds.

 

I shall sell my house and buy these wheels...

 

^Bwahahaha! Sell your house. That's probably about what it would take! Either that or you're some oil baron!

 

Interesting video. Can only imagine the cost. Perhaps as the company progresses and tech (R&D) progresses as well it could eventually become a great stock to own. Assuming the would ever go public.

 

I've seen the video and complete documentary on the Agero R and the One:One.
The cool part is they pre-preg the carbon fiber that makes it super strong and light.

The cool fact is that the One: One is the first "MEGA" car in history

1360 KG and 1360 HP a perfect ratio.

They also calculated that this is equal to one megawatt of energy.

 

They seem pretty well-funded for the minuscule volume that they churn out. I could see them being acquired by another manufacturer but I think going public would be an uphill sell unfortunately.

N4S, do you have a link for the complete documentary? That would be very cool to see. And pretty cool that they're laying down 1 megawatt of energy. I'd imagine that would be a ride akin to leaving Earth's orbit on the space shuttle *cough* I mean some other country's rocket.

 

Yes your correct its an uphill battle indeed....but there's absolutely nothing wrong with being on a constant search for upcoming money maker stocks etc
Do you invest at all?

 

This is a mini series and by far one of the best I have ever seen.


I would pick a Koenigsegg over any other super/hyper car out there. In one of the videos he lets go of the steering wheel at 100mphs and just kits the breaks and the car is stable as Fuq!. He also jags the car from side to side at 100+ and keeps the car in control with little effort.

 

Red, I didn't mean for that to come off as though there was something wrong with searching for new stocks. Quite the contrary.

Thank you for that link eljoker! I'm definitely going to watch the series in its entirety. I think they have one of the best-engineered hyper cars out there.

 

No no I didn't take it that way at all. You didn't come off any way other than how you meant to. im always open to new possibilities regardless if they look promising or terrible, what's the worst that can happen? You research a stock or sector and ut turns out to look like an unstable or losing venture...well ok....so I'm not buying any of that company...but at least you up your exlerience points and overall grasp of a different sector/stock/fund/whatever and you also get a bit better at recognizing bad investments later on. for anybody out there who is trading or thinking of trading and you're havih trouble picking quality items.
