The CCX is apparently a CCR for the USA.

[Zot09]

Holy cow, Zonda F Roadster?? Sweet! And the Koenigsegg is finally coming to the US! Woot! I love the new rims on the CCX.

[vexor]

[twboy1999]

[lorbmw69]

WOW!! it's about time the ccr (i guess ccx now) came over here

[MIHALS]

Thanx for info mv!!! that pic of Roadster F (even covered) is :drool:

[nthfinity]

cerious... the CCX silouette looks more convex then the CCR... also, the bumber is slightly more petruded; while the nose is slightly higher...which suggests that it possibly is slated for arival to USDOT regulations :-D

i wonder why they didnt show this at LA/NAIAS if they are indeed bringing it state-side?

Las Vegas, NV Feb 6, 2006; Koenigsegg Automotive AB, the Swedish supercar manufacturer, of Sweden has named Exotic Cars, located in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, to be the first and only dealer in the United States for its exclusive supercars. A version of the world's fastest production car is now on display in the Exotic Cars Showroom at Caesars Las Vegas.

Koenigsegg is the manufacturer of the CCR, the fastest production car in the world, with a top speed of over 250 mph. The U.S. version, dubbed the CCX, will be unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show at the beginning of March 2006. The 806 HP, 2200 pound carbon fibre supercar goes 0 to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, and runs the standing quarter mile in just 9 seconds at 146 mph.

"We couldn't be happier," said Richard Weisman, CEO of Exotic Cars. "In addition to being the fastest production car, it is also one of the most impressively engineered vehicles ever made."

Exotic Cars at Caesars Palace currently displays more than 40 vehicles with prices in excess of $1 million, including such exclusive lines as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bentley. Thousands of people visit the two-story, 34,000-square-foot showroom each day.

Koenigsegg plans to deliver a limited number of cars during the first year, and orders are being taken on a first come, first served basis. The base price for this prestigious automobile is $650,000.

Info about the CCX

[SilviaEvo]

wow the CCX looks so fucking nice as well as the Zonda F Roadster! the black wheels make the car so mean looking and the grey paintjob!

[Caplax40]

Oh sweet Christ. Koenigsegg in the US. My prayers are answered. Except for the prayer where I have enough money to afford one. :D

[yg60m]

Thanks for these infos mate :D

[twboy1999]

bs information
2200 car
that is 1000kg

how bullshit can that get

even the euro version weights at leat 150kg more

[Evil-ution]

never been a fan of Koenigsegg's work, any body heard about the accident in UAE involving a CCR and a 911 turbo? damn wat worse can happen!

am waiting for the F roadster, damn it would be a boom!

[mv]

At least we hopefully can expect some American mags to test it so as we can see what the car can really do. The manufacturer's claims are a joke.
Can't wait for SA supertest.

It seems the Zonda F Roadster will get the 650hp "powerkit" standard. :lol:

In a couple of weeks, Italian supercar builder Pagani will unveil its newest model, the Roadster F. The 'F' is a tribute to the legendary Argentinean racecar driver Juan Manuel Fangio, who was to have been the namesake for Horacio Pagani's 'Fangio F1' supercars, ultimately renamed the 'Zonda' after Fangio's death.
According to Le Blog Auto, the Zonda Roadster F will get the uprated 650 hp version of the Mercedes Benz AMG V12 also used in the closed-top Zonda F Clubsport model. The regular version of the Zonda Roadster, with 555 hp, is already good for 0-62 mph in 3.7 sec, so the extra 95 hp should provide truly inspirational performance.

...knoisseg....

No offence, but thats the worst attempt at spelling Koenigsegg I've ever seen. :lol:

This Koenigsegg CCX looks a bit better than the previous one, but anyway it's like a Saab compared to the awesome Zonda F :P

Ehhh. No it's not..

Ghostbat, I would like to know what a Swede makes of the ridiculous claims by Koenigsegg. 1/4 mile in 9s flat etc. Isn't it crap ?

We actually know it is. :P Since it does 200kph in 9.6 seconds, hence the real 1/4 mile time is about 11s. What a shame for Mr. Koenigsegg.

Why would I make something different of it than others??

Check out their homepage for the correct claim. They don't mention a 0-200km/h. Only the quartermile in 9sec @ 235km/h

[yg60m]

I am curious to know what the CCX really is, it seems longer than the CCR, has different wheels and brakes. It it's the US version, why didn't they present it at the Detroit salon ??

[crazidude]

The F roadster :D. I'm getting all giddy even though I can't afford one :(.

[McLaren4eVa]

Damn That Zonda is Fukin Sexc Bludy Hell If Thee Normal Zonda F Costs 400K How Much Will The Roadster Be? Guess Its A Stupid Question Cant Afford It Anyway :(

I knew exactly what they claim and I call it rubbish.

It has been tested in SA. It hit 200kph in 9.6 seconds. Hence the 1/4 mile in 9 seconds at 235kph is incorrect. Btw cars that hit 200kph in about 9.5 seconds do the 1/4 mile in about 11s.

[twboy1999]

fuck
zonda f so fucking sexy

[Mattk]

Wasn't the Koenigsegg once the fastest production car?

[vexor]

still is.... officially

[yg60m]

Not officially ... yet :wink: I guess that Bugatti or an magazine won't be long before officially clocking it :P But there are other contenders like Saleen too ... :mrgreen:

Two new pics of the CCX have emerged - it probably is the best looking Koenigsegg yet.

[Ghostbat]

Looks just sick in black! Thanks for the pics mv.

[vexor]

^^^

... so the Veyron is the fastest un-officially?? :?

according to Tiff Needel, i guess.

and the CCX looks absolutely stunning in black

[chest3r]

Yeah! This new model looks way better than the previous one, but the design of the whole car still isn't the best :roll:

[mv]

It does look sick, especially in black to me. Another thing - performance - some say it'll have 806hp, like the CCR, the others think it will have around 1000hp and veyron beating performance.

I do think we are about to see a power bump. Why put a new label on an old car - if it were just an american CCR I think it would keep the name. However, 1000hp or so, or even more than 900hp, with the current engine is a tough nut I'd say - it has to undergo emission tests etc, remember. What shall we expect ? Increase in displacement ? Turbos instead of the supercharger ? Completely new engine ? Well, there we some speculations Koenigsegg intended to use a 1000hp+ flat-12, but I think it's too soon for this to come.

:shock: both look awesome

Now Christian von K , should do some things about reliability , and change the dampers , Tiff said it handles like a bucket :lol: and will have a winner in almost all areas :P

[mv]

The CCX will probably be more powerful and faster than the CCR - it was mentioned in SA Supertest.

[saadie]

cool ..... dont like the ass though .... those ugly holes .. :roll:

[Zarkoff500]

Ass holes?

[911GT1]

CCX=boring...
ZondaF=Untouchable.. even when compared to the Enzo.

http://davidnaylor.org/blog/2006/02/koenigsegg-ccx-gets-900-bhp.html

rumors.

900bhp

0-100km/h in 3.1 sec

[mv]

Sadly the rumour turned out to be just a rumour. It gets 806hp and it basically is a rebadged CCR with minor improvements for American market.

brochure : http://davidnaylor.org/blog/2006/02/was-it-just-dream-ccx-gets-806-bhp.html

But this car is a joke to me - you can pay for an extended warranty - 6000 euros (2 years or ,take a seat, 3000km :shock: :roll: ) So normally the extended warranty would end after a few months for most of the drivers. Mr. Koenigsegg probably knows why not to provide a longer warranty - he would probably go bankrupt if he had to pay for all the parts that need to be changed. This basically confirms Tiff's worries about the reliability.

[stmoritzer]

thanks dude for the pics, black or grey are my fav. colors :P

the view from rear is stunning

[Carlito Enzo]

what weisman didnt say was that he eventually would run the company in the ground faster than any 0 to 60 time and screw Koenigsegg

[stmoritzer]

2years old topic, good start dude ;-)
