Flaklypa Grand Prix (English title - "Pinchcliffe Grand Prix") is a Norwegian animated movie released in 1975. It is the most watched Norwegian movie of all time, having sold some 5.5 million tickets since its release to a population which currently numbers just 4.7 million.
The movie features a particular car called Il Tempo Gigante. The Il Tempo Gigante was powered by two extremely big engines (weighing 2,3 tons alone and making the seismometer in Bergen show 7,8 Richter when started the first time), a body made out of copper and a spinning radar.
What makes the Il Tempo Gigante special is that, allegedly, the movie it features in
inspired once a young Christian von Koenigsegg... Does this name ring a bell? We'll give you a hint - the Koenigsegg CCR.
