The final part of the Koenigsegg at Exotics on Broadway 2023 miniseries concludes with the CCX. It was introduced in 2006 as the third-ever Koenigsegg production vehicle, a refined CCR, and the first Koenigsegg to officially be imported to the U.S. In fact, one of the biggest reasons Koenigsegg updated the CCR into the CCX is so the CCX can comply with U.S. federal vehicle and emissions regulations. CCX stood for Competition Coupe X, with the X marking the tenth anniversary of the original Koenigsegg CC prototype when the CCX debuted in 2006. Powering the CCX is a twin-supercharged 4.7-liter V8 with 806 horsepower and 679 pound-feet of torque paired to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed sequential manual gearbox. It launches from zero to 60 mph in the low three-second range and can hit a top speed of 245 mph. Like practically every Koenigsegg model, the CCX features a body constructed of carbon fiber and kevlar, dihedral synchro-helix doors, a removable hardtop, and a lavish, high-quality interior.
Only 30 CCXs along with a handful of CCXRs were ever built until Koenigsegg replaced the CCX with the Agera in 2011. Pricing for the CCX started at $695,000 when new but has appreciated to around $1 million today. Two CCXs were present at this year's Exotics on Broadway in Monterey last month compared to three last year. The two examples from this year's show were different than the three that showed up at last year's show. The CCX may not be my favorite or the coolest Koenigsegg, but it is still an absolutely amazing supercar and one of the most impressive vehicles from the late 2000s. This wraps up my Koenigsegg at Exotics on Broadway 2023 miniseries; next up, I will showcase the Bugattis from this year's Exotics on Broadway on this site. I happened to see four Bugattis at that show this year, and you won't want to miss them.
