People know that I hate all koenigseggs more than anything but there is one exception. not the ugly dull ccx without the wing, no. but this, with the rear wing and the carbon fiber weaves all along the body of the car with the mesmerizing ccx head and taillights, the sides chiseled more with a rear wing to complement it. oh my god. this is one of the most aesthetic cars ever made.
sadly it's a koenigsegg with a crappy interior and no significant track performance. it looked like perfection. if it only wasn't a koenigsegg, if it only had a proper diffuser and a proper wing. if it only had better interior. lots of what ifs

Zeperfs database verified, I trust. Period nothing to discuss.

Verified
0-300km/h = 24.7 seconds?
That's slower than the previous generation model. Their other two claimed metrics are or are near to a full one second off.
So their 0-300km/h is WAY off even if you use the Koenigsegg One:1 300-0km/h braking time in seconds wouldn't change. I'll see what else exists. But on that evidence, I'm not convinced I'll find anything, anywhere.

So as set out below>
25.5- 7.3= 18 seconds 0-300km/h for this car approximately.
It has 1000hp a 200hp increase over the previous model. I know the differences between Bugatti Veyron to Bugatti Veyron Supersport numbers which were also a 200hp increase from 1000hp to 1200hp respectively.
My initial thoughts are, well it's going to be very hard.

Unfortunately scans do not exist for EVERYTHING. But I did find this. 0-300-0km/h details plus everything in between for the previous generation Koenigsegg CCR which ARE verified and confirmed. Some of the magazine scans are visible.
Anyway the only thing I'm interested in is>
Quote>"300-0 km/h: 7,3 s."
Because I want to extrapolate the 0-300km/h number for the Koenigsegg CCXR. Which they kindly didn't provide.
This is NOT particularity EXACT but I've got nothing as else accurate.

0-200 km/h 8.75 sec
0-200-0 km/h 13.0 sec
0-300-0 km/h: 25.5 sec
Top Speed: 400+ km/h (250+ mph) (without rear wing)"
So let's dig a little and see what actually and factually occurred to the last of the supercharged Koenigsegg's.

Quote>"DRY weight: 1280 kg (2821 lbs)."
So in actuality it's going to be 1400KG or possibly over! I knew the above figure didn't look right? And I just proved it! ;)

So this is the one, I believe where after which no independently organised tests were ever done. That's OK, we've got CC8S, CCR and If I recall correctly (I've been investigating alot of early hypercars) the CCX it's enough. But I'd of loved to have seen a 0-300km/h time.

@YoungSinatra
Your wish came true, haha they now make them with the option for F1 shifters
YoungSinatra 15y ago
Well I guess hell must have just froze over because I have to agree with everything (Anonymous) said about this car. I just wish Koenigseggs would give us the option of F-1 paddle shifters.

@ george, the ccr achieved 241 mph on the nardo, which is ROUND and results in a 30 degree angle on the tires causing more friction, thus limiting top speed, u can look for the file on the koenigseggboard.com 1st page, christian von koenigsegg afterwards claimed he is more than confidant the ccr can break 245

He likes skinny girls that are flat chested?? compared to the 400lbs girls you like? lol (not that theres anything wrong with that! but i have to agree with Mr Anonmyous up there this car is great, BUT, its pointless to make a super fricken fast car even faster, and much more rarer, it just doesnt make sense. thats like having a girl with a 34ff bra and suddenly she decides to get implant to make them 38mm, and that my friend is just like this car, which is pointless just like them (Not OverSized..lol) but udderly stupid and fake, and pointless fake ass tittys.

Its like having a girl with an awesome body and huge tits,but MR.ANONYMOUS thinks that would be too much because he likes skinny girls that are flat chested?? Thats why they make so many cars and so many awesome cars, take your pick and appreciate either one!!

If the engine doesn't catch fire while running, there's no reason not to add more power.
