The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined sports car built by Koenigsegg Automotive AB. The project began with the purpose of making a worldwide car, designed and engineered to comply with global basic safety and environment laws, particularly to enter in the United States car market. To market cars in america many modifications were designed to the look of the CCR; the previously used Ford Modular engine unit was replaced by the Koenigsegg engine designed to run on 91 octane energy, readily available in the United States, and to meet up with the Californian emission criteria.The name CCX can be an abbreviation for Competition Coup? X, the X commemorating the 10th wedding 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 Motor Show, wearing body alterations to meet US regulations and a new 4.7 L twin supercharged V8 engine unit capable of producing 811 PS (596 kW; 800 horsepower) at 7000 rpm and 920 N?m (679 lb?ft) at 5700 rpm of torque while operating on 91 octane gas. There have been 49 CCX-Series cars produced between 2006 and 2010 (30 CCX, 9 CCXR, 6 CCX/CCXR Edition, 2 CCXR Special Release and 2 CCXR Trevita). One of them was a CCX used for Crash lab tests and one is still a manufacturing plant test car. CCX cars have later been improved to be CCXR-spec.
