2007 Koenigsegg CCXR Special EditionNews:
Nov 26, 2007 - Koenigsegg have released an upgraded version of their
fastest car called the CCXR Special Edition. The standard model debuted
earlier this year at the Geneva Auto Show and this new Special Edition
improves upon its theme. It has the same 1018 horsepower engine, but
with an upgraded body and interior.
The most obvious change is a contoured rear wing which is
permanently fixed by long stantions. This was probably motivated by Top
Gear and Jeremy Clarkson who requested a larger wing to steady the car
during its second visit at the show. Beyond the wing, only detail
changes such as uncovered headlights, color-coded carbon fiber and new
suede seats are fitted.
Underneath the skin, the CCXR remains largely unchanged, but we
now know that the Bio Fuel V8 produces 1018 bhp @ 7200 rpm which is
good for 250 mph and 0-60 in 2.9 seconds.
Pricing is 1 575 000 EUR. That's around 1.800.000 $ so it's very expensive.
