That marquee alone should be enough to draw the attention of car enthusiasts all over the world. It’s the legendary Italian stallion versus the Swedish speed demons. And if you think that this is something that we just cooked up to pique your curiosity, guess again.
Our friends at GT Board actually pitted a Koenigsegg CCR Evo against a Ferrari 599 GTB F1 to determine which supercar can lay claim to being second to none. It’s a must-see video for fans of both brands who have always looked for bragging rights over the other.
Check out the video to see who won this super car showdown.
It’s always a treat to see a Koenigsegg up and running out on the streets. So when Sportbilen attended the 2009 Action Meet racing event and saw the one only Swedish registered Konigsegg CCR Evolution out on track, then we can all agree that it has our curiosities piqued.
To add more spice to an already smoking hot car, this particular Koenigsegg has been upgraded with a newer engine – the CCX’s 4.7-liter supercharged V8 – that now produces as much as 806 horsepower at 7,000 RPM with a maximum torque of 693 ft-lb at 5,500 RPM.
While we can say that we’re advocates of proper decorum and etiquette, you’ll have to excuse us for this momentary lapse in manners. We can’t help it; the mere sight of a Koenigsegg has us drooling off our mouths.
The Swedish super sports car, Koenigsegg CCR, has inspired designer Justin Togail into creating what appears to be the best candidate for the next Batmobile, the ASUKA 02 Prototype Motorcycle.
The style in which it opens up to unveil the engine parts and components is what the author mentions to have liked at the Koenigsegg, but while the four-wheeler is know to burn a lot of gas, this vehicle is supposed to be powerful, economic and green.
Actually, the engine and exhaust systems are designed to save as much as 90% of heat waste and transform it back into energy. Although our anticipative and innovative designer doesn’t mention how that’s even possible, we have to give him credit for the month of work that the engine and chassis only required.
Koenigsegg Breaks World Record for Production Cars. On February the 28th 2005, at 12.08 local time, the Koenigsegg CCR broke the production road car speed record, achieving a new official top speed of 242 mph at Italy’s Nardo Prototipo proving ground.
