I cut Koenigsegg some slack, like Pagani. The cars that are seeing these custom "one"-offs are the Ageras (like the Zondas), and the prices for the an Agera were already ridiculously expensive. The prices for these limited cars don't seem significantly higher in comparison, if & when they're even reported.
So lazy, soooooooooo much milking
So, why isn't it done more often in cheaper vehicles and not something almost completely unique to the 6-figure market?Like I said, when a car manufacturer releases a car that is basically the same underneath and takes a hefty premium over the model it actually is based of is just lazy manners. It is not hard to make a new chassis/monocoque frame or bodypanels with carbon fibre so please If you want my cash do something cool and and new. Only those that have to much money and really do not care about the cars/machines ie noobs that only want to flaunt their social standings buy those "panel trimmed" super cars. Lambo/koenigsegg could release an old C4 with a spaced out exterior and interior and still stupid wealthy people would flock like crazy to buy one.
Same thing can be said about Motorbikes. why should I want a naked bwms1000r or rsv4r, they will be street fighters in due time, when I crash them
No man, look how the canopy(coupe in sweden) flows out of the back of the car, it leaves the wheel arches/shoulders of the car bare so to say the same way Pagani zonda and Ferarri 488 and even alfa 4C but it is very very similar with the 488 in my opinion. And about the front of the 488, I thought that the car was in GT4 and was called Ascari or similar but
Audiman2011 posted the brand I thought of, I mean who cares about Ascari, it is no Noble if you ask me
But any way there is an older sport car with those 458/488 headlights that is not Ferrari, and to be honest a prestige/pristine manufacturer as Ferrari should not look at others, the other manufacturers should look at Ferrari

Ah, I thought you asked about why there are not that many super cars that are based on cheaper cars.
Because it's not so much a matter of difficulty just building the chassis, but the cost to do so.
You originally said, "It is not hard to make a new chassis/monocoque frame or bodypanels with carbon fibre".So you just repeated what I said, ok
Ok, I answered your questions from the start, even though it was not what I thought you asked for and then when you explained what you asked about I gave you the answer, -production time of a single car. What more could you want, hehe. And for your information many companies frequently test new ways of making/producing cars by small R&D teams that supercar manufacturers would kill for. But right now steel presses and welding is the fastest solution right now.
Which would end up contradicting what you said about it being easy to build a new carbon fiber monocoque. As said, it isn't that easy to do so given time & resources needed to make it an efficient choice. We'd see a lot more everyday vehicles if carbon fiber was a more readily available material to build a chassis out of without the expensive price tag.
The 650S had its last MSO a couple years ago. The 675LT however, recently debuted again under the High Sport name.Plenty of time for McLaren to introduce the MSO-LongTail-HyperSport-Carbon-#Lit-Final Edition of the current 650S Chassis. With a roadster version a little down the line.
