The new Koenigsegg CCR - more power!







Here's the new Koenigsegg CCR. Some new design changes, like the side air intake, the front spolier and so on. The big thing though is the new power figures:

806 bhp - 6.900
920 Nm - 5.700

A upgraded supercharger and a new exhaust system is making those figures possible. Can't wait until 0-100 km/h and topspeed is tested...

Wow, I have yet to see one of these in person. How many have they actually built to date? Definately a beast in terms of performance though.

Last I heard, there were about 15 sold, but that was several months ago.

And for as far as I remember, two of them were sold to an Arabian king. I'm not sure about this though.

Re: The new Koenigsegg CCR - more power!

I do like the Koenigsegg. Nice interior and the shape is great especially in that colour (i know ) and with the 'R' mods. Always liked the wheels as well. All it needs is a proper V12 and not an overstressed supercharged V8.

You're not the only one that is The colour suites the Koenigsegg very well IMO.

Re: The new Koenigsegg CCR - more power!

They had plans to build a 12-cylinder boxer with Carlo Chiti (who has engineered some F1 engines and had something to do with the Ferrari 512 engine) Anybody heard anything new about that? It was supposed to make 400+km/h with that engine..
