Just when you thought it couldn't get much better...
From Koenigsegg's website:
We have now taken a step further... At the Geneva Motor Show 2-14 of March Koenigsegg will introduce the new CCR with unprecedented performance. Nothing confirmed, but I've heard remours from around the net that the Koenigsegg CCR will produce 806hp, and be capable of over 400km/h. Eat your heart out, Veyron. I bet it'll handle well, too. Oh well, Bugatti's already very much familiar with debt and bankrupcy

NICE!
But I thought when the first Koenigsegg was announced they also said it would have this kind of performance. And if I remember it right, they said that they would use a Ferrari V12 as an engine...  , but that was back then...Anyway, what kind of engine are they useing now? It's a V8, but did they build it in house or is it from BMW or Ford or something...anybody know that?

i dont think Ford would be able to supply a good enough engine for its use.
I know absolutely nothing about the Koenigsegg cars but everyone on the site seems to know about them and their capabilities, so my respect goes out to this car

I'm confident that Koenigsegg will be able to get those power figures from a Ford Powerplant. Just take the GT, and go a step further. Modern Ford V8s have been tuned numerous times to well over 1000hp, albeit not necessarily reliably. I'm sure they've already found a way
