Sweden has always been the country for sane and intelligent people.
With a population of only 9 million, they have achieved a lot. The safest cars on earth, easy to go furniture (although not always so easy to build), well function politics and the Nobel Price are just some of the Swedish features we know about.
And when there is a super car manufacture from Sweden, it is not only one of the fastest in the world, it is also the one that is the kindest to the environment.
Koenigsegg has now a new model that is called CCXR Flower Power.
It runs on ethanol and produces 1.018 bhp/7.200 rpm and 1060 Nm (733ftlb) of torque at 6.100 rpm.
The old CCX model, that holds the record on BBC2 popular motorshow Top Gear, only had got 806bhp to power it around the track.
Being able to run on ethanol, the CCXR Flower Power reduces the CO2 by up to 80%.
The new, environmentally friendly, car will be shown on the Geneva motor show.
