About the Koenigsegg CCX
Unveiled at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the CCX (Competition Coupé X) was the first Koenigsegg engineered for global markets, specifically meeting US safety and emissions standards. It replaced the Ford-based blocks of earlier models with a bespoke, in-house 4.7-litre V8 featuring twin centrifugal superchargers. The car gained notoriety on Top Gear, where it set a lap record after the addition of a rear wing (the 'Koenigsegg wing') to improve high-speed stability. With its dihedral synchro-helix doors and removable targa top, it remains a landmark of boutique hypercar engineering.

Rarity is a collectible game mechanic, not an assessment of real-world scarcity or value.
