Great pics of Koenigsegg CCX Very nice, I love that car...
"Fighter Jet Squadron nr. 1 of the Swedish Air Force was based at the present Koenigsegg HQ before being closed down by the government in 2003. Their symbol, a ghost within a circle, now adorns the CCR and all future extreme versions of the Koenigsegg CC. This is both to honour the predecessors and to show that the Koenigsegg crew feels they continue the legacy of Squadron nr 1. Several of Koenigsegg’s employees previously worked with the maintenance and repairs of the fighter jets."

I bet their values will far exceed any ccx, enzo, or porsche GT in 30 years.

From what I remember when watching the Top Gear episode, they had to send it back for Koenigsegg to design a spoiler for it after The Stig wrecked it.

The Koenigsegg CCX posted a new lap record on the UK Motor Program Top Gear yesterday (the 28th of may). The CCX, driven by the infamous Stig, achieved a lap time of 1.17.6, slashing the previous lap record of 1.18.4.
