The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined sports vehicle built by Koenigsegg Automotive AB. The project began with the purpose of making a worldwide car, designed and manufactured to comply with global protection and environment regulations, particularly to type in the United States car market. To market cars in america many modifications were made to the design of the CCR; the previously used Ford Modular engine was replaced by the Koenigsegg engine designed to operate on 91 octane gasoline, readily available in america, and to meet the Californian emission criteria.The name CCX is 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 presented at the 2006 Geneva Electric motor Show, having body alterations to meet US laws and a new 4.7 L twin supercharged V8 engine with the capacity of producing 811 PS (596 kW; 800 horsepower) at 7000 rpm and 920 N?m (679 lb?feet) at 5700 rpm of torque while running on 91 octane gasoline. There were 49 CCX-Series automobiles 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 manufacturer test car. CCX cars have later been improved to become CCXR-spec.
