U.S. Receives First Street Legal Koenigsegg, Let The Tickets Begin!

Where else would the first street legal Koenigsegg CCX end up than swinging Las Vegas? The great thing about bringing the car to Vegas is that if you accidentally marry a tranny stripper one night you can just take the CCX to its top speed of 245 mph and go back in time to prevent the nuptials (and whatever else happened that night). The privilege of owning an early U.S. example of the Koenigsegg will set you back about $935,00 and a full year of wait time. Enjoy the video of Clarkson taking it up to 11 above.

More than 10 of the CCX's have been ordered already and will be available for pickup at the only U.S. Koenigsegg dealership, which just happens to be in the heart of Caesars Palace. Now that we've finally figured out how to properly spell Koenigsegg we're going to say it a few times. Koenigsegg, Koenigsegg, Koenigsegg. [World Car Fans]

Absolutley amazing, albiet not the best looking bitch in the kennel.

Kind of like your last call booty call that can rock your drunken world at 3 AM, but she is just shy of "hot" come sunrise.

Which reminds me, anyone got a quarter, I gotta make a call.

@AzCajita:

Goodness! Well, welcome to the pure, blissful hell that only desiring a Koenigsegg can provide. Hope you don't mind having your head beaten to a pulp by the sledgehammer-esque pounding provided by the V8. Mmmmmmmmmmm beefy.

OMG, that is one muscular f**k.
Sorry, but that is what I thought when I saw it. And fire shoots out the ass!

Needs a big warning sign: "Keep back 100 feet. Fire comes out of my ass."

Jalopnik needs a poll: Which is uglier the Bugatti Veyron or the Koenigsegg CCX.

@Serolf Divad: The answer is: you. (CCX has no "ugly".)

The Veyron, however, could take much improvement. =)

Love Clarkson's "Nomex" suit that looks just like the one I wore to work yesterday (including wrinkled denim shirt) and helmet that looks just like a bad "middle-aged guy trying to cover his hair loss" perm.

What a tool. Get a real driver to tell me about cars.
