Koenigsegg CCXR Edition: Tripping the Light Fantastic

Remember the Christopher Walken skit on Saturday Night Live where the inveterate creepy guy continues asking Will Ferrell for more cowbell? Well the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition needs more carbon fiber. The rebodied CCX is positively rotten with the stuff and the twin turbocharged, E85 sipping 1018 HP heart makes us almost feel like this outshines the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermes which sits just down the row. This car speaks to our inner 17-year-old like a like a prom queen on a bender.

Latest by cazin678: Pretty cool- hey, did they ever figure out how to build these so that the shifter doesn't hit the steering wheel when you turn a corner? The Koenigsegg lineup hasn't exactly been an engineering marvel..... more »

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 »

Koenigsegg CCX vs. Pagani Zonda

Thursday's Bugatti vs. McLaren debate was fun, no? The McLaren handily won, garnering just over 65% of the vote. And I don't think anyone is too shocked by that result. Given the choice between pre-meltdown Jenna Jameson and Taylor Rain, the true connoisseur chooses Miss Rain. Every time. Ahem. Today we're presenting you the two other hypercars to scream at each other over debate and discuss. We think the Koenigsegg is better looking and we know it's faster. Still, the Pagani simply screams ultra-exotic and really does seem to have been designed by an alien race. Other than that, I mean, yeah... how do you decide? It'd be like choosing between Sophie Evans and Jenna Haze. More »

Latest by imoody: The Konigsegsegseg is Swedish. The company is based on an old Swedish air base. Each Konigsegg has a flying ghost on the rear window, symbol of the Swedish Air Force (or a squadron therein, I don't remember) Seriously, a Swedish super car. How more »
