Design and aerodynamics are closely linked. The cars that capture the ethos of “homologatedSHIFT” are cars use them together in a concert of purpose and beauty, unlike some of the unpleasant things on the new R8. Function creates form and racing intentions requires concentrated attention to function. For any vehicle, homologation requirements dictate a set of requirements, but Koenigsegg doesn’t let those requirements set the boundaries for their vehicles. While there are many reasons for utilitarian solutions to technical challenges, imagine a world where every car was designed like a Koenigsegg. More manufacturers would be trying to solve challenges with no visible hard boundaries on design or budget.
