The Koenigsegg CCX and CCXR Edition were announced back in November last year, but their public debut will take place at this year's Geneva Motor Show. The Koenigsegg CCX/CCXR Edition are powered by a 4.8 liter engine 888 bhp when run on petrol and 1018 bhp when run on E85. The Koenigsegg CCXR Edition has a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 2.9 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in 8.9 seconds. The top speed is more than 417 km/h. The Koenigsegg CCX Edition has the same 0-100 km/h acceleration time, but 200 km/h comes just a little slower - 9.2 seconds. The top speed is also lower - 400 km/h. The Koenigsegg CCX Edition price starts at 1,330,000 Euros and the CCXR at 1,500,000 Euros. Koenigsegg Press Release: On the 4th March 2008, we will be unveiling our latest creation: the Koenigsegg Edition. The Edition will be on show at the Geneva International Motor Show between the 4th and the 16th March 2008. The Edition is the ultimate supercar – a Koenigsegg at its most extreme - built to break records and deliver breathtaking performance. Only a very few models will be produced, in order to ensure exclusive status amongst supercar owners. It has a clear, fully visible carbon fiber body, and is available in two versions: the 4.8 liter 888bhp CCX Edition and the CCXR Edition, which can be driven on environmentally friendly ethanol E85 and E100 fuels, as well as regular petrol. When run on E85 fuel the 4.8 liter engine produces 1018 bhp. Furthermore there are many unique details on the car. The new forged, machined and polished Gallery: Koenigsegg CCXR Edition Premiere aluminum Edition wheels for example, which are extremely light and incorporate optimum brake cooling. The bright, polished surface of the wheels was chosen to maximize the contrast against the exclusive black clear carbon body. The Edition interior is clad in striking red leather and features a special version of the Koenigsegg Chronocluster including a redesigned centre console. All the interior aluminium parts are anodized in a specially formulated Koenigsegg Edition tone that has a unique and purposeful look. The Edition has a high performance specially developed rear wing, a larger front splitter plus side front strakes. The aerodynamics have been verified and optimized in CFD and in real life on the Koenigsegg test track in Sweden and on various proving grounds in Europe, in order to achieve maximum downforce. Together with the lower ride height, modified shock absorbers, modified springs and anti roll bars, this makes the car perfectly suited for both serious track fun and winding country roads. There is also the option of Michelin Cup tyres and paddle-shift if so desired.

 

 

We finally received all the technical details of the Koenigsegg Edition CCXR and Koenigsegg Edition CCX special editions that have taken the net by storm a few days ago. The Koenigsegg Edition CCXR and CCX are built due to requests made by some (we think very important) Koenigsegg clients. The Koenigsegg Edition comes in two limited version models, the Koenigsegg CCXR and Koenigsegg CCX. Both Koenigsegg CCXR and Koenigsegg CCX are powered by a 5.0 liter twin supercharged Koenigsegg engine. The Koenigsegg Edition CCXR and CCX are more track oriented compared to the standard models, being equipped with stiffer springs and anti-roll bars, reset dampers and a lowered chassis. The Koenigsegg Edition CCXR and the CCX also feature a fully visible carbon body, a large adjustable rear wing, larger front splitter and side strakes and a unique forged wheel design. The interior is also reworked and features; color matched leather carpets, Koenigsegg Edition side step plates, Edition chronograph instrument cluster, a new Edition only layout for the center console control panels. All other extra equipment for the Koenigsegg Edition CCXR and CCX comes as standard: Carbon Wheels, Special interior trim and color, Rearview camera, Satnav or Bluetooth, Amplifiers, complete Inconell exhaust system. The Koenigsegg Edition CCX will be built, sadly, in only 14 units with a power output of 888 hp and at a price of 1,330,000 Euro per unit. The Koenigsegg Edition CCXR is going to be an E85/petrol flex fuel version and it is going to be built, even more sadly, in just 6 units. The Koenigsegg Edition CCXR has a 1018 bhp Gallery: Koenigsegg Edition CCXR power output and a 1,500,000 Euro price tag. The Koenigsegg Edition supercars are some of the most exclusive on the planet, with just a total of 20 being built. No, their are not already sold. Just the first from each version is 'already spoken for'. Big thumbs up! to Koenigsegg for announcing them before they got sold. Each Koenigsegg Edition car comes with 5 years free Service and Warranty. The Koenigsegg Edition CCXR and CCX will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor show in March 2008, where the first delivery will take place.
