Koenigsegg’s CCXR 1018 HP Special Edition

While details of Koenigsegg’s CCXR supercar were released in March, above is an official rendering of the final production version of the car recently released by the company.

Under the hood the CCXR will have a cast-aluminum V8 engine that will be able to run on biofuel which will cool the combustion chambers. Combine this with a higher octane rating and the enviro-friendly car has 1,018hp at 7,200rpm with peak torque of 1,060Nm at 6,100rpm. The 4.7L engine sports a four-valve double overhead cam design with a compression ratio of 8.2:1 and a sequential multipoint fuel injection system. Combined highway/city fuel consumption stands at 22L/100km. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in about 2.9 seconds and the Swedish manufacturer is claiming top speeds of over 400 km/h. MORE >>

Finally a car that can play with the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, Ferrari FXX EVO, SLR 722 GT, and the Lamborghini Reventon.

Dont forget the Nissan GTR, since it smoked the SLR at least.

Production car and prototype are two different things. Many people fail to realize this.

Yeah..you guys are right.. Its very fast, but not very stable without the wing..a handful handling-wise. The wingless version nearly killed the STIG. Check out the link below to see how he lost it. I love it either way.. Sweet car!

All this car needs is a spoiler or wing.
