Koenigsegg CCR

 

The CCR is Koenigsegg's second-ever production vehicle. It debuted in 2004 as the successor to the CC8S and is powered by a 4.7-liter supercharged V8 with 806 horsepower and 679 pound-feet of torque paired to a six-speed manual gearbox. The Koenigsegg CCR launches from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 241 mph, which set the production vehicle top speed world record in early 2005 before the Bugatti Veyron completely obliterated that record later that year. Other upgrades the CCR gained over its CC8S predecessor consist of larger brakes, larger wheels and tires, a bigger front splitter, an available bigger rear wing, and an improved suspension and chassis. The CCR's headlights and rear-end design have been altered from those of the CC8S as well.  

Koenigsegg built only 14 units of the CCR from 2004 to 2006 before replacing it with a further evolution known as the CCX for 2007. This year's Exotics on Broadway marks the first time I have ever seen the CCR in person. The first two production vehicles in Koenigsegg history were never officially sold in North America, but I was luckily able to catch a CCR at this year's rendition of the biggest show of Monterey Car Week, especially since its primary theme was Koenigsegg's 30th anniversary. This particular CCR example made it to this year's Monterey Car Week last month all the way from Alberta, Canada, where it was registered and mainly resides. It may get overlooked nowadays compared to other supercars, but the CCR is one of the earliest and rarest Koenigseggs of all time. Its performance and specs are no longer record-breaking, but they remain impressive to this day. In all, these aspects make the CCR an underrated and incredibly intriguing mid-2000s supercar.
