Koenigsegg known for producing top of the line Supercars for the world market has taken a step further by presenting the CCR!

With the CC8S already in the Guinness Book of records for the most powerful production car, the CCR show that Koenigsegg does not rest on its laurels.

The CCR with a horsepower output of 806 hp and a maximum torque of 920 nm stands alone in it's league - especially considering that the dry weight of the CCR is a mere 1180 kg - giving a power to weight ratio of only 1.46 kg per hp. What is even more exiting is the broad torque curve with over 550 nm at 2000 rpm and over 700nm from 3000 to 7300 rpm giving the CCR excellent drivability
