Geneva Preview: Koenigsegg CCX & CCXR Edition Models

As if the CCX and its bio-fuelled twin, the CCXR weren’t already a rare site, Koenigsegg has created two Limited Edition versions of its supercar: the CCX Edition model with a 888 Hp 4.8L twin supercharged V8 engine limited to 14 cars and a CCXR (Bio flexi fuel) Edition model limited to 6 cars with 1018 bhp.

The Special Edition version is more track biased compared to the standard models, as it has stiffer springs and anti-roll bars, reset dampers and lowered chassis. It also features a fully visible carbon body a large adjustable rear wing, larger front splitter and side strakes for increased down force and a unique forged wheel design. –Continued after the jump
