❗️Koenigsegg just revived one of its greatest unfinished racing stories with the 1,600-hp CCGT1, and all 70 cars were already allocated before the public ever saw it.

Built as a modern tribute to the original 2007 CCGT race car, the new machine uses the CC850 as its foundation but receives an extensively redesigned body and serious track-focused aero.

Its 5.0-liter twin-turbo flat-plane-crank V8 produces 1,280 hp on pump gas and up to 1,600 hp on E85, sending everything to the rear wheels.

Koenigsegg pairs it with its nine-speed Light Speed Transmission and a race-style sequential shifter positioned beside the steering wheel.

For owners who want something even more mechanical, the company can also fit its gated six-speed-style manual interface while retaining the underlying nine-speed transmission.

The aero package generates an incredible 800 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, with an active rear wing capable of switching between low-drag, high-downforce and air-brake configurations.

Despite looking like a full-blown GT1 racer, the standard CCGT1 is actually homologated for road use.

An optional Track Package adds slick tires, a carbon roll cage, race suspension, HANS-compatible seats, air jacks and even more aggressive circuit hardware.

The original CCGT was built for GT1 racing nearly two decades ago but never got to compete after regulation changes effectively killed the program, making this revival especially significant for longtime Koenigsegg fans.

If you could take one Koenigsegg to the track, would you choose the new CCGT1 or one of the brand’s older icons?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
