The CCX is Koenigsegg's third-ever production model and the first-ever Koenigsegg model to be sold in the U.S. It is an evolution of of its predecessor, the CCR, but a completely new vehicle in comparison. The CCX, which stands for Competition Coupe X, made its debut in 2006 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the first Koenigsegg CC prototype in 1996. Powering the CCX is a 4.7-liter twin-supercharged V8 producing 806 horsepower and 693 lb-ft of torque paired to either a traditional six-speed manual or a six-speed sequential manual gearbox. It launches from zero to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds and is capable of a top speed of over 245 mph. Like other Koenigsegg models before and after, the CCX's body and chassis are constructed from carbon fiber infused with kevlar and aluminum, and features a removable hardtop and dihedral doors.
Only 30 total units of the CCX were built from 2006 to 2010, along with a handful of other renditions of it, before it was replaced by the Agera. Pricing for the CCX started at $700,000 when new and is now worth around $1.3 million today. The Agera was an evolution of the CCX and featured updated styling, performance, and technology over its predecessor. Of those 30 total examples, three of them were on display at this year's Exotics on Broadway in Monterey almost a month ago. It isn't as fascinating as its successors and other Koenigsegg models that came after it, specifically the Agera, Regera, and Jesko, but the CCX is an absolutely amazing, ultra-rare supercar that will blow anyone's socks off. Along with the other Koenigsegg and Pagani models on display at Exotics on Broadway that I previously featured on this site, these three CCXs stood out to me more than most vehicles there.
