The owner of this rare Koenigsegg One:1 managed to ‘beat the system’ – so to speak – by getting this parking ticket in London.

The parking ticket isn’t a big deal per se, chiefly because the owner can afford it no matter how much it is.

But the irony is the owner probably did it on purpose because the ticket is cheaper than paying for parking.

This is probably a good example to show how the rich stay rich.

Cheaper than paying for parking

In the clip shared to TikTok by Tom Callaghan on his supercarseurope channel, we can see that this owner of this Koenigsegg received an £80 parking ticket, which is equivalent to around $90.

Now, we don’t know how long they left the car there, but assuming they left it there for less than a day, that’s a great deal.

Parking your car in the part of London where this One:1 was can be very expensive, and you can easily spend way more than $90 if you leave it parked for a few hours.

Koenigsegg One:1 is (almost) a one-off

Koenigsegg has come a long way from its first 1996 ‘CC’ prototype.

Now the company makes four-seater hypercars that run on volcano fuel.

The CC spawned several production versions, all based on the CCX, and then came the Agera.

The One:1 is a limited-edition iteration of the Agera, powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8, putting out 1360 hp for a car that weighs 1,360 kg, hence the One:1 name.

It was unveiled in 2014 but, 10 years later, it still holds some speed records.

It is also one of the rarest Koenigseggs ever built.

The company only made six production models, plus one prototype that’s not for sale.
