Kimera K-39 with 1,000bhp Koenigsegg V8 is a retro-Lancia fever dream made real

Villa D’Este has seen plenty of pretty metal, but not much that looks like a Group C Lancia after an argument with reality. Kimera’s K-39 was always going to be wild, drawing on classic Lancia cues and heading for Pikes Peak, yet the headline now is brutally simple: Koenigsegg is supplying a twin-turbo V8 with 1,000bhp.

Not some vague supplier deal, either. PH says this is a proper collaboration, with Koenigsegg Cloud connectivity and market-specific calibration included, so customers in different regions get the engine properly sorted for local approval. We’re also told the tune makes peak power at 7,350rpm, with 885lb ft at 5,500rpm, and uses smaller, lighter turbos to sharpen response. Gearbox details still aren’t confirmed, so for the rest, you’ll need the full story.

Hi Everyone

We’d really appreciate your honest opinion on something we’ve been working on as just two people, and it’s actually our first business.

It’s a small collection of luxury car keychains designed for people who like clean design, quality materials, and a premium feel in everyday details.

The idea is to take something as simple as car keys and turn it into a more personal, stylish accessory. The focus is on minimalism, durability, and that subtle luxury touch—nothing flashy, just well-made pieces that feel right in your hand.

This started because we couldn’t really find keychains that felt genuinely premium or matched what we were looking for, so we decided to create something different ourselves.

Any feedback, thoughts, or suggestions would mean a lot to us. What do you guys think? Would you buy it?

Thanks for taking a look 🙌

Many prominent automotive youtubers have stated that it is the most overrated brand. Many of these people have owned and driven them. These people include Carl Hartley, Tim Burton, Steve Hamilton, Supercar Ron and Andrew Tate, just to name a few. Many of the concerns stem from the car constantly breaking down and remaining long periods of time in maintenance.
