We’d love to have the opportunity to purchase a supercar out of what seems to be sheer boredom and then let it sit in our garage because we are too busy driving around in all of our other fantastic cars. It may seem like an unbelievable scenario, but we come across it all of the time. Our latest supercar abandonment comes as a Koenigsegg CCX that was purchased back in 2008 for about $650,000. The car is based on the first U.S. spec CCX imported into the US and is largely constructed of carbon fiber weighing in at just 2,600lbs. The owner of this vehicle didn’t even bother taking off the factory window sticker from his princely purchase. The Koenigsegg is said to have very few miles on it, with most of them attributed to the post-production tests. Seriously? Are they kidding? And it gets even better. The standard CCX is powered by a 4.7 liter V8 engine that delivers 806 HP, but when the supercar was handed over to Scottsdale Ferrari, they decided to tinker around with the barely used machine and got it to produce 980hp! Now with this added power, this phenomenal black on black Koenigsegg is set up with a price tag of $1,150,000 because, well, Scottsdale Ferrari assumes they can turn it over for that kind of crazy profit. If this were a cartoon, the head honchos at Scottsdale Ferrari would have large dollar signs in their eyes every time they looked at this vehicle. .
17 comments: Barely used and upgraded Koenigsegg CCX up for sale yeah agree, oh well i guess every one of us has his own tastes in cars specially exotic car like this.
how in the world you would hate a car so rare and unique? I bet you don’t have a taste in car, you just like it because of the looks.
I disagree with you.. why would you spent your money with this kind of car? yes its barely used but still i’s a second hand... better i you buy a cheaper one with the same specs... you can always choose from Porsche or Ferrari.. or better the Japaneses GT-R.
this is a great collection next to the Ferrari, if only i have that kind of money, I wont hesitate to buy this one. so what are you waiting boys... get it while it’s hot.
If they can get a Bugatti, Reventon and even jet fighters, I’m sure it won’t be that difficult, maybe the Stig needs to write a will... Some say...
I’ve noticed that the red parts appeared to be rendered with a "carbon fiber" texture. If everything red on the car’s exterior is red carbon fiber, well, that would just be fabulous.
