Koenigseggs first lap at the Nürburgring.

Koenigsegg had an outing at the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring for the first time the other week.

Without any prior setup or adjustment the Koenigsegg CCR managed to lap the ring in 7.39 Seconds.


This lap time show tremendous potential and is already class leading. The Koenigsegg Team will be back on the Ring within short for further trials.

The Koenigsegg CCR features customer adjustable, shock absorbers, wheel geometries, anti roll bars, ride-height and tire pressure. These adjustable features will be now be utilized, and an customer official "Ring" setting will be created. Hopefully, theses settings will help the CCR to become the first road legal, series-produced Super car under 7.30 Seconds.

Words from the founder:

-Last weeks laps around the Ring show that the Koenigsegg CCR is not only a world beater in a straight line, but also around the most challenging circuit in the world. I cannot wait to have another go.

More info will follow on this exciting challenge....

Truly awesome car. Does anyone have any Enzo lap times? Has it even done the ring?

Not until yet, but SportAuto announced a Supertest with it in this summer... we will see...

So it's a good time to place the bets? I think it'll be quite even unless ferrari is planing on forging the laptimes. 5€ on the CCR

Whoah, 7:30 in the Nurburgring, That's shocking

[Nogger]

holy hell... When I spoke to Christian about the future of his company in November he told me that they were to beat the speed record and have a go at the Ring. From what I heard Loris, their in house test driver, was to attempt both. I bet he can push the car faster than 7:39, which is an insane time thinking that the Carrera GT was tested on the Ring for hundreds laps before being set into production.

now i just wonder what the SSC Aero would do in comparison.. the SSC is still relatively new having been created this year but i guess Ill have to wait and see what happens during Augusts top speed runs..
