Koenigsegg CCX and CCXR ‘Edition’ Models

February 28th 2008 10:30

Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg has created two limited edition versions of its supercar - the CCX Edition model with a 653 kW (888 hp) 4.8-litre twin supercharged V8 engine limited to 14 cars and a CCXR (Bio flexi fuel) Edition model limited to 6 cars with a staggering 749 kW (1018 hp) - the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

Equipped with stiffer springs and anti-roll bars, reset dampers and lowered chassis, the limited edition models are noticeably more track biased compared to the 'standard' models. Minor body changes include an unpainted carbon-fibre body, an adjustable rear wing and a larger front splitter plus unique forged alloys.

Inside, the cars get new leather trim including matching hide for the floor mats, ‘Edition’ side sills and a chronograph instrument cluster. Standard features include a rear-view camera, sat-nav and Bluetooth, and a light weight Inconell exhaust system.

Koenigsegg CCXR - the new fastest car in the world?

November 26th 2007 21:30

Swedish 'hypercar' manufacturer Koenigsegg has released some technical specifications and hi-res images of their newest and baddest model - the CCXR.

Powered by a bio-fuel twin supercharged 4.8-litre V8 engine, the CCXR pumps out an unbelievable 749kW (1018hp) at 7,200rpm and 1060Nm (740 lb-ft) of torque!

If you thought the Lamborghini Reventon that gave a Panavia Tornado jet-fighter a run for its money was fast enough, then think again because the CCXR is good for a 0-100km/h time of just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of over 400km/h!

This figures are insane! And that's before we even start talking about moolah!

The Koenigsegg CCXR will cost €1,575,000 plus taxes, so yeah, these babies will be rarer than rocking horse sh**, guaranteed.

The Exotics(Part 4): KOENIGSEGG CCX

No doubt many would still regard a Ferrari F430 or a Lamborghini Gallardo as an 'exotic', a 'supercar'...and only a lucky few will ever have one of these in their driveway.
