The CCXR featured a highly modified CCX engine that ran on E85 as well as normal petrol in any mixture thanks to an advanced and Koenigsegg developed flex fuel system. When running the CCXR on petrol, the 4.7 liter twin-supercharged Koenigsegg engine delivers 806 Bhp.
Koenigsegg created a race car - the CCGT, based on the production CC-model range. The CCGT complies with the ACO and FIA GT1 regulations. The CCGT came about as side project for Christian and the engineers at Koenigsegg.
The Koenigsegg Agera was the successor to the CCX/CCXR. The name comes from the Swedish verb 'agera' which means "to act". It was named Hypercar of the Year in 2010 by Top Gear magazine.
