Kinda, thats like saying a Callaway Sledghammer has a regular corvette engine.

The CCX uses a 4.7 with TWIN SUPERCHARGERS!! Thats just crazy... plus it has the coolest doors ever made.

even then it wasnt a ford gt engine. thats a supercharged, rpm limited 5.4. the ccr had a DOHC 4.6 from the cobra with a vortech supercharger.

this new CCX is ******* amazing. 250mph capable, 900bhp with some eco friendly gas? jesus h. himself would love this car.

I could be wrong, but I think they are used to make it fast.

The CCX is quite possibly the baddest car ever built. Just watching those videos makes me want one so bad!

I would guess they are using twin Rotrex superchargers. Need two to make that much horsepower. They are very popular in Europe. I think Wheel to Wheel is pushing them over here in twin kit form also(the Rotrex, not the CCX). There was a blurb about Rotrex in one of the GM magazines.

I think this car looks alot better than the Saleen S7. I was in love with the first Koenigsegg but this one is even better. This car and the enzo are my two dream cars. I wish I could afford one.

"I think Koenigsegg is Swedish for 'My head just exploded!'" That is an awesome quote.

Anyone have the Zonda F video. I've googled it and its nowhere to be found.. I want to see the car that beats this.. There's an alternative to smoking.. its called smoking.
