Last but not least of the Koenigseggs from Exotics on Broadway 2024 is the CCX, the third generation of Koenigsegg supercars and the first Koenigsegg to be officially introduced to the North American market. It debuted for 2007 and is motivated by a 4.7-liter twin-supercharged V8 producing 806 horsepower and 679 pound-feet of torque mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed sequential manual transmission. It goes from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 245 mph. The CCX closely resembles its CCR predecessor, but the former has grown in size and been designed and engineered to meet global emissions and safety standards, including those in the U.S.
At this year's Exotics on Broadway show as part of Koenigsegg's 30th anniversary celebration, five CCX examples appeared, more than the previous two Exotics on Broadway shows combined. These five CCXs included the ultra-rare CCX Edition, which was added to the CCX portfolio in 2008 and marked my first time ever seeing this particular version of the CCX up close. The 4.7-liter twin-supercharged V8 in the CCX has been bumped up to 888 horsepower and 693 pound-feet of torque in the CCX Edition. Other distinctions on the CCX Edition over the base CCX include a bare carbon exterior finish, unique 11-spoke alloy wheels, a unique carbon rear wing, a bigger front splitter and side winglets, a tweaked suspension, and improved aerodynamics and handling. The CCX Edition's interior has also been remodeled, featuring red leather seats with Koenigsegg Edition stitching on the backrests, additional carbon trim, Edition side step plates, and an Edition-specific gauge cluster.
Koenigsegg built a total of 30 CCXs and two CCX Editions before replacing the CCX with the Agera in 2011. Current values on the resale market are north of $1 million for the base CCX and around $2 million for the CCX Edition. It may not be my favorite, the coolest, or the greatest Koenigsegg, but the CCX is an absolutely marvelous supercar and an excellent introductory vehicle for Koenigsegg in the U.S. market. Checking out these five CCXs in person, including the ultra-exclusive Edition, was simply unreal and significantly contributed to the Koenigsegg 30th Anniversary commemoration as a top-two highlight of Exotics on Broadway in 2024.
