Even though hyper car makers like Koenigsegg offer many interesting paint jobs these days with unique colors and exclusive stripes and stuff, if we were to buy one, we’d definitely have it finished in exposed, clear coated carbon fiber. Why? Because just look at this carbon fiber Koenigsegg Agera R.
Granted, driving around in a car in a naked carbon fiber car does make one look like a bit of a dork. But this Koenigsegg Agera R looks so damn good with this finish, we just don’t car what people think. All we would like to do in this car is drive in front of shop windows so we can marvel at the reflection!
