The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined sports car built by Koenigsegg Automotive AB. The job began with the purpose of making a global car, designed and manufactured to adhere to global safe practices and environment polices, particularly to get into the United States car market. To sell cars in america many alterations were made to the design of the CCR; the previously used Ford Modular engine unit was replaced by way of a Koenigsegg engine designed to run on 91 octane gas, readily available in america, and to meet up with the Californian emission benchmarks.The name CCX is an abbreviation for Competition Coup? X, the X commemorating the 10th anniversary (X being the Roman numeral for ten) of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle in 1996.
The CCX was unveiled at the 2006 Geneva Engine Show, showing off body modifications to meet US rules and a new 4.7 L twin supercharged V8 engine with the capacity of producing 811 PS (596 kW; 800 hp) at 7000 rpm and 920 N?m (679 lb?feet) at 5700 rpm of torque while running on 91 octane gas. There have been 49 CCX-Series cars produced between 2006 and 2010 (30 CCX, 9 CCXR, 6 CCX/CCXR Release, 2 CCXR Special Model and 2 CCXR Trevita). One of these was a CCX used for Crash tests and one continues to be a factory test car. CCX cars have later been upgraded to be CCXR-spec.
