The top speed is said to be unofficial. I heard that speed trials were planned, does anyone know if they've been carried out yet? If not, when will they be?

considering the sizable power increase, i'd say it could probably crack the 400km/h barrier.

Is that top speed even possible on a roadster? From what i understand no roadster, even with the top up has not passed 200mph.

The CC8S is also a roadster and has reached speeds well over 200mph.. so it shouldn't be a problem for a stronger version to do so aswell. The question is only what will that top speed be???

Christian von Koenigsegg (founder and owner of Koenigsegg) in EVO 73 (november 2004) in reply to the question how fast the CCR can go:
"Of course we definitely want to prove ourselves after talking so much about it. We had planned to do it last year, but we had a fire in our old factory and that set us back drastically. Now we're up and running again and can concentrate on the fun things. We don't say the car will do the speeds, we say we believe it will do them. This is misinterpreted, but I want to say what I believe, especially when its backed-up by a lot of accurate data. Come the day and depending on conditions, I would guess the CCR will achieve anything between 240 and 252mph."

That throws some light on the matter, thanks. Just wish they'd hurry up!!
I know such speeds are extreme conditions but I find it a bit strange that with the same drag coefficient, only 5kg more weight, 151hp and 170Nm more (!!!!) they are aiming at speeds only a bit higher than the CC8S.

The first version CC8 or whatever it's called reached 350kmh on a Swedish circuit and they believed it would reach 390 on a some german high speed course. And that's with the old one. This has some 100 bhp and 150 more torque or so. So maybe the CCR would do a bit better?
An American was caught by the police with over 370kmh, but I can't prove it since I can't find someone with a scanner to scan my magazine. Don't know how much the fine was though. Can't imagine how high it would be. :O

Tested 241mph
Theorically 245mph
"We think we could get 1000bhp out of this engine, revving to 9500 or 10,000. You'd probably then be able to do 250-255mph, but it would be hard to meet the required emission standards, in order to be able to homologate such an engine."
Gordon Murray about the Mclaren F1
"The 787B was reported to have a redline around 9000rpm. However, interviews with Mazda's 787B race engineers revealed that the power of the quad-rotor increased dramatically above 9000rpm. One engineer stated that the car could develop more than 930hp with a redline around 10500rpm. They also discovered that all aspects of the engine were still in excellent condition and could have run another 24-hour race"

Shut Up, it is official, and SUPERCARS.net does not have the right to show unofficial TOP SPEEDS, # of Cylinders, Weight, etc.
He works for the safety of the territory but you won't have more details because it is personal and confidential.
