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

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.

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

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

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/...s-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.

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
