The brand new Koenigsegg CCR adds a second model to the Koenigsegg line-up with a new, more powerful version of their original CC8S. The body has been slightly modified with a new front splitter, headlights, and air vents ahead of the front wheels. The side air intakes have also been restyled and the rear fascia has been opened up. The engine stays basically the same, but has the addition of a twin-screw Lysholm supercharger for 800hp @ 6900rpms and 920Nm @ 5700rpms.

The Koenigsegg CCR is set to be even faster then the Koenigsegg CC8S, which just made itself famous by becoming the world's most powerful production car according to the Guiness Book of World Records.

I knew the CCR had been mentioned here before, but I couldn't remember where, and I know it just had that teaser picture...

Thank you, i don't really like the rear in "aluminium like" style but the numbers are impressive ! :)

Man that's SWEEEEEET!!!!...OMG I'm so excited...can't wait 'till they test it...

[Chingachgook]

FANTASTIC

Will it break down as often as the CCV8S too?

I like it, I wonder if it will actually dethrone the McLaren this time.

[adlinyusman]

wish i could buy one of those. No importer in my region as of yet (or maybe ever..)...ayaya...such beauty and so out of reach of mere mortals. Big question...

Is it drivable?

800 horses? Pah...i'll probably be spinning my wheels all the way to 300kmh.....scary thought.

[dutchmasterflex]

god damn.. i thought the first koenigsegg was insane.. this is just sick! definately a great supercar from the swedes

[altedza]

THANKS i was w8ing for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u da man!!

scary hot :l

[hemi_fan]

I guess they wanted to shut up all those people who said the Mclaren F1 was still faster. lol

[oantob]

great car!!... but what is CCR stands for??

[The359]

Creedence Clearwater Revival? :wink:

[ravenpaua]

Good car for a little island like Mallorca...

[No.1]

The car looks amazing, but do you really need 800hp.

Ferrari has it right with the Enzo at a comfortable 640bhp. I think all the manufacturers are interesed in now is outputs. Take the Bugatti Veyron for example: 1001bhp :!: Thats a stupid amount, and its causing the boffs at bugatti some problems too :lol:

Thanks for the pictures... i couldn't find them anywhere on the net :mrgreen:

Well, if the CC8S didn't dethrone the McLaren, then this certainly will.

Insane power!! 920Nm of Torque!!

[coloradosilver]

MMMMmmmmm.....Supercharger! I love the feel of boost from a supercharger. I don't know, 800 sounds good to me. Keep in mind that the supercharger doesn't really kick in unless you're on it. You can rev that thing all the way to red line, but if you're only giving it half throttle the whole way there, you aren't going to get the whole 800hp. It's just nice to know it's there when you want to get a little wild!!

[The359]

The original CC8S has a supercharged as well (hence the 'S'), the CCR merely has a larger, more powerful supercharger.

wow this is wicked, i heard about this in another post but their werent any pics,
but on the other this is shit coz if those nubaz are correct then the McLaren F1 will be put into the shade even more, but who cares it's still ma fav car, But it is hard to bleve that Sweden came from nowere and created this
Thanx again for the pics, love the rear

[Drive4Ever]

awesome, supercars are just keeping coming :shock:

[tigerx]

nice paintjob, it's gonna be one hell of a car :D

[Tomerville]

The CC was one of the best kept secrets as it is. It is an AMAZING car! just look at the vertical di-hedral doors...enough said Let alone the speed. Those rims, those curves...its like a work of art. Sweedish engineering for you mi yutes.

god damn if that weight is correct at 2500 lbs and 800 hp this thing is going to flat out fly, cant wait to see when top gear and/or 5th gear get ahold of this badboy. i also like the slightly revised styling. its a nice refresh from the old one (as if it really needed one)

[McLarenF1God]

I like it...but sometimes I feel the car itself is kind of gimmicky and it gives me mixed feelings. And that CCR is not attractive is it? All of that power can't be healthy, like a muscle on steroids.

[budagboy2]

i think all that they are trying to do with this car is beat mclaren and beat it bad
