The CCR was an evolution of the CC8S and was produced between 2004 and 2006. The CCR firmly broke the Guinness world record for fastest production car with a top speed of 388 km/h. This is the car that firmly put Koenigsegg on the map.
The concept for this supercar set from the start, a two-seat mid engine construction with a hardtop, all based on state of the art Formula 1 technology. Koenigsegg CC prototype is shown during the Cannes film festival and its success was immediately.
The CC8S was the first ever production car from Koenigsegg. Despite being produced in just six examples, the CC8S won multiple awards, including the Guinness World Record for most powerful production engine.
