About the Koenigsegg CCXR
The Koenigsegg CCXR is a landmark in hypercar history, famously dubbed the world's first environmentally conscious high-performance machine. By utilizing E85 ethanol, the engine's cooling properties and higher octane allowed Koenigsegg to push the twin-supercharged V8 past the 1,000-hp barrier, a feat few cars had achieved at the time. It retains the brand's signature 'dihedral synchro-helix' doors and a removable targa top that can be stowed in the front luggage compartment. Driving the CCXR is a visceral experience, demanding respect for its immense power-to-weight ratio and lack of electronic interventions compared to modern successors.
