A Koenigsegg CCX was destroyed this week in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. It's right across the border from Laredo, Texas, in case you were wondering. From what we can glean from the story (en Espanol), two men were driving at a high rate of speed, crashed and somersaulted near kilometer marker 12. The car looks like it was blown up by a cruise missile, and it looks like every airbag available deployed. The driver and passenger were sent to the hospital, but their condition is unknown. Vanguardia says that the accident is still being investigated. The news outfit also has more pictures, so click over there and check out the carnage. The CCX was about $700,000 when new.

When he’s not writing about, driving, working on or thinking about cars, he’s reading liberal books and playing video games. In his opinion, the best new car in the world is the Ferrari 488 Pista. The Ford Shelby GT350, the Nissan GT-R and the Porsche 911 GT3 are favorites too. He owns a 1963 Pontiac Star Chief, a 2014 Ford Mustang GT and 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL.
