Says on the site that the Koenigsegg engineers designed the engine.. Volvo is owned by Ford now, but I'm pretty sure this supercar isn't a Ford.

Look at the pics and read the article. That is definetly a Ford mod motor. Looks like it is a reworked 4.6, not a 5.4 though.

What's a NewtonMeter? 
Impressive. About the same as Ryans turbo Camaro (0-60 in 2.9sec) or Todd Carpenters N/A Camaro (215mph top speed) but I'll bet it costs a lot more. Although with 800hp pushing 2500lbs, it aint hard to see why it runs like that. Still not sure I like that look.....

A newton meter is a joule. Which is a measure of energy IIRC, haven't taken physics in awhile.. And the top speed atained of that car was 241mph (388kph), and they say top speed is 390+. Just another toy nobody is ever going to be able to afford lol. But compared to the McLaren F1 it beats it and costs about the same.
