I was on 124th in Totem lake this morning heading east when I spotted a really low flat blackish colored car going west bound. The silhouette caught my eye, it was like nothing I have seen before. It had to have had a mid / rear engine, lots of carbon fiber, 19" rims, large rear wing but it wasnt visible until I passed it, the roof was really low. As I drove past it I looked for an emblem, marking etc that would indentify it. The marking I saw was after I passed by and he moved forward. It had an emblem on the drivers side, just above the tailights. I t had a single, large red latter then 3 smaller chrome numbers.
It looked alot like this, but not the same.

Have any of you guys seen this car before? |

Never seen a Koenigsegg in person, I have heard the make a pretty unique noise, you would probably know if thats what it was.
Actually very few supercars are rounded off like the Egg is. I assume it wasn't a Veyron as you should have known that car if you saw it.
If it wasn't an egg, but was rounded off like that, I am at a loss. |

Monday night, I pulled up behind something that looked like a KTM X-Bow. I was in Lynnwood on 164th getting ready to get onto I-5 South, he peeled off and went north just before I turned to go south.
The only view I had was directly behind and a 3/4 from behind, but hard to mistake the profile.

The Egg last I knew was still not legal to import into the USA, and he had removed the rear wing off it because it created wind drag and did next to nothing for push down traction.
:edit: now that I look at the first link, it looks like they put it back on. God that car was so freakin sexy about 6-7 years ago, and now it just looks like trash  |

Ian,
It looked alot like the FF GTM, but the emblem was above the drivers side tailights. I heard it breifly, it sounded like it had a V8 with little to no low freuqency sound coming from the exhuast.
It was not a Lambo or Ferrari.
At first I thought it may be an Ultima, but after a quick search it looked nothing like what they produce. I didnt get much time to look at it and the flat grayish black paint hid alot of the ducts / vents etc.
Anyhow, I saw it around 8:30am, if anyone is in that area around that time keep an eye out for it. |
