dayemmmm. they forgot to mention the fact that the SSC Ultimate Aero TT holds the official speed record at 255 mph. how much is the CCXR?

[unwilling]

That price doesn't make much sense. The CCX cost, what, around 400k quid. And this isn't a spectacularly huge leap ahead of it.

the aero is barely faster than the veyron and the veyron is barely faster than the ccx so the xr will probably be the new top speed king (once they actually get it on a road long enough)

thing that i don't get is that stupidly high price tag... the ccx is $550,000, how can the XR cost $3 million?

Looks like they decided to start making their cars with spoilers after the TG test.

but oh boy did they design one ugly spoiler for this one.

A retractable one would have fitted the car much better imo.

Just look at the Reventon!

I don't like this rear wing at all ... Maybe needed for the 1018 bhp but it spoils the lines.

I actually don't mind the wing as long as it's functional. Only if Koenigsegg will put down a date and break all those records.

That is an insane, irrational amount of money for that car. I really like the looks of the previous model. The CCXR looks less refined IMO. Everyone keeps talking about the Topgear wing. I would be willing to bet most if not all of the improvements to the handling came from changes to the sway bars, shocks, and or alignment not the silly little wing they slapped on the car.

[RC45]

I believe they barely made or sold any CCX's - so they barely qualify as "production".

I wonder who will buy the single CCXR they make?

[DeMoN]

great color choise too!

[silentm]

looks more like computer renderings to me, rather than the real deal :-/

[HeilSvenska]

So it is. Maybe they'll show the real one at the Geneva show? Or is that too late?

[martin100]

Looks agressive but the price is simply ridiculous I´d take a Veyron over this thing anyday...

[HeilSvenska]

I think it needs to be clarified a bit. The rendering of the car shown is for the special "Edition" versions that you can get for the "normal" CCX and CCXR. You just have to fork over about a $1,000,000 more than the regular version for the super limited 14 CCXs and 6 CCXRs, two of which Koenigsegg says it's already sold.
