Solid cool for this early 'egg. It's more subdued (stylistically and engineering-wise) compared to any of the company's later offerings, but still a very striking car that is probably a massive blast to drive.
 
There is no such thing as a boring Koenigsegg. This one surely isn't boring. Easy Sub-Zero for me. Cool or anything south of Cool is disrespect to me with this car.
 
I personally prefer the late 90s and early 2000s era of supercar design the most (with the exception of the 458 which I guess is still technically 2000s).

New Koenigseggs are pretty cool but this one just sits above all other cars they've made in my opinion. Same with Pagani, all of these new models and special editions, but my favourite will always be the original C12.
 
It has aged quite well to be honest. In part because so many modern supercars are juts a mish mash of lines and ducts these days. Saying that it is not as head turning or just out and out good looking as the best of the breed. Overall Cool.
