"When thinking about supercars, one of the last things that spring to mind are their environmental friendliness. Even though the very low and exclusive production volume of Koenigsegg can hardly be considered to have a measurable impact on the Co2 problem that global society is facing, it is an impressive statement that even a small and extreme company like Koenigsegg can afford to develop environmentally focussed solutions. By following conscientious and forward thinking strategies, Koenigsegg has managed to create the Bio Fuel Powered CCXR - environmentally friendly 1200 with even more spectacular performance than the standard CCX.

These two almost conflicting results are made possible due to the simple fact that the ethanol in biofuel has the positive side effect of cooling the combustion chambers, as well as a higher octane value, well over 100 RON, which gives the high power. Due to the fact that the biofuel has higher octane and cooling characteristics, the power has gone up to 1018 hp at 7200 rpm and the torque to 1060 nm at 6100 rpm.

It is natural to expect a substantial gain in power when optimizing the engine for E85(biofuel) instead of Petrol. Still the actual gain obtained even surprised the enthusiastic engineers at Koenigsegg.

Following the long term strategy of Koenigsegg, all previous CCXs will have the possibility to be converted by the factory to accept the biofuel option and reap the performance and environmental benefi ts of this wonderful and eco friendly fuel.

The CCXR Biofuel upgrade has been developed in-house on the factory's engine dyno by the skilled technicians at Koenigsegg, led by Christian Koenigsegg, Marco Garver and Anders Hoglund from the Koenigsegg partner company Cargine Engineering.

The CCXR is the first homologated car currently in production to reach over 1000 BHP."

Such an AMAZING car!! I love it!!

 

GOOD on them, i will not be surprised if in the Future they further extend they line to something like an electric or hyrbid. ALL the green people will have wet dreams about this baby, aka Flower Power lol. 1018 damm,thats serious. I wanna see how well/fast this baby take the Nurburgring, Stiggy take this baby to the track . Anyways you can say the Swedish Love nature (true).

 

Holy crap. My favorite car just got better and faster.

 

I love that they print "flower power" beneath the model name
wonder if this one will beat 252mph ... I hope so.

 

could beat the Veyron huh.

great find Napo

 

That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw this thing...

 

This has 17hp more than the Veyron and it's almost 1600lbs lighter... It will be a Bugatti killer for sure!

 

wow, that is sex on wheels.

 

Can anybody explain how biofuel cools?

 

Awsome, the throws by the look on that shifter must me super short.

 

I LOVE IT. I heard(though just rumor) that the ccx was going for a million is that true?? So I would susect that this will go for the same if not more? For that kind of money I still may be looking towrads an enzo, maybe...

 

The CCX is priced at $650k. That must be just a rumor because the car is ordered from Koenigsegg directly... There is no way Koenigsegg is charging mark up on a car ordered directly from the factory. Plus, even if the price tag was that high, I believe it would be worth it. The CCX is superior to the Enzo in every aspect and I even think it looks better, which is obviously subjective. Don't get me wrong, I love the Enzo, but the truth of the matter is that a CCX would destroy it in any performance test.
