Pagani, eager to make the C12 a real supercar, asked AMG to supply several M120 V12 7.0 engines with more power. Tuned by Mercedes-AMG, the engine had 542 hp and was mated to a new 6-speed manual.
The CC8S was the first ever production car from Koenigsegg. Despite being produced in just six examples, the CC8S won multiple awards, including the Guinness World Record for most powerful production engine.
After successfully marketing the Zonda for three years, Pagani upgraded the Zonda to include a new 7.3-liter V12 (found in the 1995 SL 7.3 AMG). The Zonda also got traction control for the first time.
The CCR was an evolution of the CC8S and was produced between 2004 and 2006. The CCR firmly broke the Guinness world record for fastest production car with a top speed of 388 km/h. This is the car that firmly put Koenigsegg on the map.
