Koenigsegg CCXThe Koenigsegg CCX is the latest supercar from Koenigsegg. CCX is an abbreviation for Competition Coupe X. The X commemorates the 10th anniversary of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle in 1996. The CCX is intended to be more suitable for the U.S. market and thus engineered to comply with US regulations. It is also the World's Fastest V8 production supercar.

Features
Engine
The CCX is powered by a Koenigsegg designed and assembled, all aluminium, 4700 cm³ DOHC 32-valve V8 engine based on the Ford Modular architecture enhanced with twin Rotrex centrifugal superchargers with response system, 1.2 bar boost pressure and an 8.2:1 compression ratio. The engine produces 806 hp (601 kW) and 678 lbf.ft (920 Nm) on 91 octane (U.S. rating) gasoline, 870 hp (634 kW) on 110 octane (Euro rating, 95 octane US rating) gasoline and 900 hp (671 kW) on biofuel. This makes it a unique flexible-fuel engine in the sense that it actually produces more power while running on biofuels. The engine is lubricated via a dry sump with external oil pump, features oil spray piston cooling, and an external oil cooler.
Body
Two-door, two seater with removable hardtop stowable under the front hood lid. Body made of pre-impregnated carbon fibre / kevlar and lightweight sandwich reinforcements. The dihedral synchro-helix actuation doors are a unique piece of engineering from Koenigsegg, which allow for maximum efficiency of space when parked.

Top Gear A pre-production CCX was featured on the May 7, 2006 edition of BBC motoring programme Top Gear. It was test-driven by Jeremy Clarkson, who praised the car highly but criticised its lack of downforce, which he attributed to the lack of a rear spoiler. The first Power Lap time was 1:20.4 seconds, with the Stig encountering short-shifting problems. Later in the same edition, the car was crashed whilst the Stig was on his second attempt at the Pagani Zonda F's time (1:18.4 around the Dunsfold Park track); the Stig also went on to suggest that the car would be significantly faster and more stable with a spoiler (according to Clarkson, as the Stig never speaks on camera, or is never seen without a helmet, for that matter). Koenigsegg then wrote back and said that they will put a rear spoiler on the car in the near future and promised to return the car back to Top Gear for further testing.
On the May 28, 2006 episode of Top Gear, Koenigsegg supplied a CCX fitted with a rear wing. The Stig had another attempt and the car went on to set a new lap record - 1:17.6. The carbon-fibre rear wing is available as Optional Equipment, though it drops the car's top speed to 242 mph from 250 mph.
On the episode of the Stig's crash, Jeremy Clarkson stated that the Koenigsegg CCX was the thing that made him give up smoking for good as it gave him such an adrenaline rush and stated it as being 'the most untamed and raw ultrasupercar ever,' and that it was the only serious competition to the Bugatti Veyron.
Other appearances The Koenigsegg CCX appears in the Collectors Edition of Need for Speed: Carbon. In the game, the car's maximum speed is only 202 mph—far less than the actual speed of over 242 mph.
The first North American test-drive of the CCX was performed by Colum Wood, Editor-in-Chief of Modified Luxury & Exotics magazine, shortly after the car's unveiling at Exotic Cars at Caesars Palace. The dealership, located in the forum shops at Caesars, is the exclusive US dealer for Koenigsegg. The reviewer praised the supercar's ease of operation yet felt it didn't quite "feel" like 800+ hp. The CCX at the showing was noted as the same car that The Stig crashed on Top Gear and had notched 3000 track miles.[1]
