The Koenigsegg CCX




After Koenigsegg's successful CCR model, the small Swedish automaker introduced the high-performance supercar in 2006. It's got a Special Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires, race-suspension and is almost identical with the CCXR Koenigsegg. I has a 678 lb-ft of torque V8 engine. And most impressively, it puts out 806 horsepower and generates this power using 91 octane fuel available in almost any gas station. But the sad thing is that the car is very wide so it isn't the best car for going through tight, narrow places. But that doesn't matter when you want to go fast in this car! The speed on this car is exquisite. It has a 0-60 mph acceleration of 3.2. seconds and a top speed of 240 mph, making it 10 mph slower than the Saleen S7 twin turbo and 13 mph slower than the famous Bugatti Veyron. The key to this immense speed is the use of ultra light-weight carbon fiber on the CCX's low body. And it just finally meets U.S. regulations.
