They were able to help get the weight down, meaning faster speeds, with the help of 3D printing. The exhaust tip of the car is 3d printed from titanium, and is the largest piece ever printed out of the material.

Koenigsegg One:1 just came out with a pretty interesting new tidbit of news involving their latest 3D printing technology. In additional to the exhaust tips being 3D printed with titanium, they have also 3D printed a double-housing (i.e. variable) stainless steel turbo for the engine. It is cost-effective at low volumes only, and they control the patent which enables this technology. pretty crazy. Check out their latest video below:
