Anthony thought it was a good idea to wake Karl and I up at 4am in the morning - "Hey Guys, Hey guys... check this out! It's got 10,000 kW and goes from 0-100km in blah blah blah" - "Tony, it's 4am in the bloody morning!'
We left Friedberg and headed for Frankfurt, briefly dropped in to the SINN watch factory and had a quick tour. Tony got a new watch and we continued to Dulmen, the home of Wiesmann.
For a short time Koenigsegg held the title as the creator of the world’s fastest production car, only to be overtaken a few months later by the Bugatti Veyron.
Having already driven the Veyron, it was only fair that on our return to Europe we would also sample the current flagship of its record-holding predecessor – the Koenigsegg CCXR.
The CCXR has dropped the “world’s fastest” moniker in favour of a new, far more appropriate title – claiming to be the world’s first green supercar.
In a day’s time CarAdvice will embark on its most ambitious overseas project yet, driving almost a dozen of the world's fastest, rarest and most exotic supercars in stunning locations around Europe as part of Full Throttle 2.
The first trip certainly set the bar high, with the CarAdvice team taking the wheel of the infamous Bugatti Veyron in the first Australian drive of its type, along with two Lamborghinis and yet another Australian first with the Aston Martin DBS.
A short while ago the CarAdvice team embarked on an epic journey to the centre of Australia to road test two of Aston Martin's most stunning creations; its hero car - the DBS, along with its baby brother - the V8 Vantage.
Together with the most spectacular natural scenery on offer from the Australian outback, CarAdvice was also handed the keys to our own private runway to really put the DBS through its paces.
