Koenigsegg released an upgraded version of their fastest car called the CCXR Special Edition. This new Special Edition improves upon its theme and has the same 1018 horsepower engine, but with an upgraded body and interior.
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.
The CCX began with the aim of making a global car that could be sold in the U.S. It ended up becoming a platform for many years to come. The CCX was the third generation car from Koenigsegg.
