Koenigsegg CC 8S 4.7 i V8 32V (655 Hp)


Koenigsegg CC:

The Koenigsegg CC is a prototype car made by the Swedish automobile manufacturer Koenigsegg.
Work on the car started in 1994. Koenigsegg wanted to build a sports car that could exceed the standards set by the McLaren F1 at the time, and achieve speeds over the 386 km/h set by the F1 in 1997. The design of the CC was inspired by the McLaren F1 along with the Ferrari F40. The car, initially painted silver, was then painted black when the new dihedral helix synchro actuation doors were fitted, and finally was painted its current colour. Other two prototypes included the white European spec prototype which was produced in 2000 and the other was a pre-production version of the CC8S, and was the first ever CC8S Koenigsegg produced....(Read more on Wikipedia)
