The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined sports car built by Koenigsegg Automotive AB. The project began with the purpose of making a global car, designed and constructed to adhere to global protection and environment legislation, particularly to enter in the United States car market. To sell cars in america many modifications were designed to the design of the CCR; the previously used Ford Modular engine unit was replaced by the Koenigsegg engine made to operate on 91 octane gas, readily available in the United States, and to meet the Californian emission standards.The name CCX can be 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 launched at the 2006 Geneva Electric motor Show, sporting body improvements to meet US restrictions and a new 4.7 L twin supercharged V8 engine unit with the capacity of producing 811 PS (596 kW; 800 horsepower) at 7000 rpm and 920 N?m (679 lb?ft) at 5700 rpm of torque while working on 91 octane gas. 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 testing and one is still a manufacturer test car. CCX autos have later been upgraded to become CCXR-spec.
