Koenigsegg CCXR

From Autoblog:

Quote:
Koenigsegg has released some full-on shots of the production CCXR -- probably a new one, and not the 1-of-a-kind CCXR crashed by Top Gear. The biofuel-powered car has a twin supercharged 4.8-liter V8, and will put out 1,018-HP at 7,200 RPM, and you'll get 740 lb-ft of torque out of it.

And if you want to break those numbers down, you'll get from the stoplight to 60 in 2.9 seconds, and the good Swedes claim you can take it past 248 MPH. However, in order to make any use of those numbers you need to first get past this one: €1,575,000, plus taxes and fees, to take it home. Check out the gallery of pics below, and check out the full specs on the car after the jump.
Pretty cool, and pretty fast. Pics below. What's your take?

i think theyre going to keep evolving their original CC design so far until something will end up like the "koeniggseggnoggsig CCRXRXRRGT" as jeremy clarkson would put it

Yeah, this car company gets more awesome each model it comes out with.

It's the same one with more power, but who would turn down more power?

Want it. Need it. Koenigseggs seem to get more and more bad@$$ with every model.

The press-release on the Koenigsegg web-site says that this is the “Special Edition,” available as either a CCX or CCXR…
