FT2: Koenigsegg CCXR
April 23, 2009 by George Skentzos
For a short time Koenigsegg held the title as the creator of the world’s fastest production car, only to be overtaken a few months later by the Bugatti Veyron.
Having already driven the Veyron, it was only fair that on our return to Europe we would also sample the current flagship of its record-holding predecessor – the Koenigsegg CCXR.
The CCXR has dropped the “world’s fastest” moniker in favour of a new, far more appropriate title – claiming to be the world’s first green supercar.
Its monstrous twin-supercharged 4.7-litre V8 powerplant has been modified to run on E85 and E100 Biofuel as well as normal 98 octane petrol.
Remarkably, on standard 98 octane petrol the engine delivers just over 600kW, but this figure rises to an astonishing 760kW when the car is run on E85 Biofuel – more than the Veyron.
However the only thing more staggering than its performance is its fuel consumption, using a comparatively low 18.0 litres per 100km on E85 fuel.
Print it: 
18L/100km…hey, that’s heading into 4-cylinder Camry territory!
Camry Territory – Is that a amalgamation of a Ford and a Toyota, could be the worlds 1st FWD off-roader.
Aaah the Konigsahakdjklsdlsksld;l;dsl. great car. have fun driving.
Hmmm…. all this talk of E85 and yet I’ve yet to see a bowser with that sticker on it. Has any one else seen one?
My favourite Super Car, without a doubt.
Devil666 there are only five around the country and two are in sydney ive seen them both in horrible locations.( suburbs who probably cant afford the premium theyre charging for E85)
