Koenigsegg CCX – Swedish Snow White at Monaco
The Swedish Snow White, as it was dubbed, was available in the test drive pit, and so everyone could see “her” strutting around, eager to run at its highest speed.
The Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg started the CCX (Competition Coupe X) project with the aim of entering the world market, but engineered it so as to comply with the U.S. regulation and market demands. And the result is – we’re sure you agree – stunning! The Koenigsegg CCX is powered by a 4.7 liter twin-supercharged V8, which delivers an output of 806 bhp (601 kW) and 919Nm of torque; it can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and the top speed is over 245 mph, according to its manufacturer.
Have a look at the stunning CCX owning the streets of Monaco, in the videos below – a piece of advice: turn up the volume to hear that roar loudly while the Swedish super beauty is accelerating several times in tunnels and driving around town!
P.S. Koenigsegg CCX is also featured in the much anticipated 2011 summer blockbuster Fast Five – the fifth installment to the Fast and Furious franchise -, along with other badass fast cars. For all of you supercars’ fans, the movie is really worth watching!
CCX also happens to be one of the most expensive cars in the world; costs are over one mil. You can also sometimes see one in London during the summer months.
