The car is more track biased compared to the standard models, as it has stiffer springs and anti-roll bars, reset dampers and lowered chassis. It also features a fully visible carbon body a large adjustable rear wing, larger front splitter and side strakes for increased down force and a unique forged wheel design.
The interior is also reworked and features; color matched leather carpets, Edition side step plates, Edition chronograph instrument cluster, New edition only layout for the center consol control panels.
All other extra equipment comes as standard, such as Carbon Wheels, Special interior trim and color, Rearview camera, Satnav or Bluetooth, Amplifiers, complete Inconell exhaust system in order to save weight.
The Edition cars will be built in two different versions, a CCX model limited to 14 cars with 888 bhp and a CCXR (Bio flexi fuel) model limited to 6 cars with 1018 bhp. The price for the 888 hp CCX is 1 330 000 Euro, and 1 500 000 Euro for the 1018 hp CCXR (E85/petrol flex fuel) version. The two first of each version are already spoken for.

I just noticed that McLaren vehicle and this Koenigsegg has almost the same platform. However, I still find it more aggressive and attractive than with Mclaren even on its figure performance.
I really love Koenigsegg cars! No wonder why their cars are really too expensive! Anyway, this CCX and CCXR limited edition will surely be a big success for them. I’m so impressed with the aggressiveness of the appearance of this sports car even in its powerful engine.
Can’t imagine how fully develop the car is, very unique features and the combination of red and Black and silver alloy wheel complements well to the car. Very wise choice for its exterior and interior.
The body isn’t covered in carbon fiber, it is carbon fiber, much like what you see on a carbon fiber hood/trunk/fender. You have to remember the allure of carbon fiber isn’t the way it looks, it’s the weight and strength properties.
