Hypercars, by definition, offer extreme levels of performance. Swedish company Koenigsegg, though, blends that kind of performance with more than a touch of unconventionality. Yes, hypercars like the Bugatti Divo can sprint at 200+ mph. But who else but Koenigsegg would make something like the four-seater Gemera? And as Doug DeMuro explains in his latest …
If you’ve never heard of the Vector M12, you’re not alone. That’s because this unusual V12-powered American sports car is one example out of 14 produced in total.

That being said, a hypercar that typically sells for millions of dollars offered for …
