The Koenigsegg CCX is a hypercar produced from 2006 to 2010. The CCX was Koenigsegg first US-specification car, certified for sale in the United States. The 4.7L twin-turbo V8 makes 806 horsepower (or 1,018 horsepower in CCXR variant on E85 fuel). Carbon fiber monocoque chassis. Multiple variants: standard CCX (2006-2010, 806 horsepower), CCX Edition (track-focused), and CCXR (E85 fuel, up to 1,018 horsepower). Production was limited; total CCX/CCXR production combined was approximately 20 cars. The CCX preceded the Agera platform. Modern CCX prices have appreciated; clean examples sell for $1.5-2.5 million+. On WhipJury, CCX submissions are extremely rare but always memorable.

Frequently asked questions about Koenigsegg CCX

Was CCX the first US Koenigsegg?
Yes. The CCX was Koenigsegg first car certified for US sale. Earlier Koenigseggs (CC8S, CCR) were not US-spec. The CCX represented Koenigsegg expansion into the North American market with full federalization.
How much does a CCX cost?
Used pricing: $1.5-2.5 million+ for clean examples. CCXR variants are at the higher end. Original MSRP was around $545,000 (significant for the era). Pricing has appreciated significantly.
Is the CCX faster than CCR?
Yes. CCX makes 806 horsepower (vs 806 in CCR; CCR power output was reduced for emissions compliance). Better chassis dynamics, more refined transmission. The CCX represents evolution of the Koenigsegg V8 hypercar platform.
Are CCXs reliable?
Generally yes for hand-built hypercars. The V8 has been durable. Common issues are typical for low-volume hypercars. Maintenance is extremely expensive due to specialty parts.
What replaced the CCX?
The Agera (2010-2018). New platform, more refined engineering. The Agera continued the Koenigsegg V8 hypercar lineage. The Jesko (2019+) is the modern Koenigsegg V8 hypercar.
