Uncompromising in design, engineering, and intent, the Koenigsegg
CCXR is a landmark achievement for both the marque's own lineage
and the broader evolution of the modern hypercar. Introduced in
2007 and based on the CCX-itself a refined iteration of the
record-breaking CCR, the CCXR readied the world for a new era where
peerless performance and environmental consciousness could coexist.
The CCXR was, in every sense, the world's first "green" supercar,
one that could hit nearly 250 mph!
The CCX marked a turning point for the company: it was Koenigsegg's
first model crafted to meet worldwide homologation standards,
including those of the crucial U.S. market. The CCXR carried that
mission forward and retained the signature Koenigsegg feature set,
including Koenigsegg's carbon fiber monocoque chassis reinforced
with Kevlar and aluminum, the removable targa roof panel, and the
brand's instantly recognizable dihedral synchro-helix doors. But
under the skin, the CCXR represented a fundamental leap forward. At
its heart was the same 4.7-liter twin-supercharged V8 that powered
the CCX-Koenigsegg's first motor developed entirely in-house at
�ngelholm that replaced the Ford Modular V8 used in earlier models.
The CCXR's version of this powerplant was specially modified to run
on renewable E85 and E100 biofuels, though it retained
compatibility with standard 98-octane fuel. Adapting the engine for
ethanol required upgraded fuel injectors, strengthened fuel lines,
revised piston rings, and recalibrated boost settings-all of which
elevated the CCXR to a staggering 1,018 horsepower and 679 lb-ft of
torque when running on E85. The result was a machine capable of
sprinting from zero to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds and achieving a
top speed of 248.5 mph-performance figures that placed it firmly in
the upper echelon of hypercar performance. In addition to its
powertrain enhancements, the CCXR offered aerodynamic upgrades over
the CCX, including optional front splitters, revised diffusers, and
later variants incorporating more aggressive aero packages derived
from Koenigsegg's growing track development efforts. Its
significance was not lost on the broader automotive world. In 2009,
Forbes named the CCXR one of the "10 Most Beautiful Cars in
History"-an honor shared with icons such as the Ferrari 250 SWB,
Jaguar E-Type, McLaren F1, and pre-war masterpieces from Bugatti
and Talbot-Lago.
This 2008 Koenigsegg CCXR, finished in Storm Black, is the 41st
Koenigsegg produced and is one of just 11 CCXRs in existence. Even
more exclusively, it is believed to be one of only three examples
in the United States and is one of eight CCXRs equipped with the
CIMA six-speed manual transmission-an increasingly rare feature in
the hypercar realm. Inside, the two-tone cabin strikes a compelling
balance between performance-focused minimalism and bespoke luxury,
featuring carbon fiber bucket seats trimmed in black Alcantara with
contrasting white Alcantara inserts. These elements extend to the
door panels and are complemented by a black leather center console.
Carbon fiber is a focal point throughout the cabin, accenting the
steering wheel, instrument cluster, dashboard accents, and door
sills. This example is further enhanced with the Ghost Package,
which equips the car with CCXR Edition front splitter and winglets,
a larger carbon fiber rear diffuser, and a dramatic Twin-Deck F1
rear wing. Subtle ghost badging pays tribute to the Swedish Air
Force's famed Ghost Squadron; once based at the decommissioned
airfield in �ngelholm that Koenigsegg now calls home.
Chassis number 7041 was originally built as a CCX for the Middle
Eastern-market, finished in its current livery with silver
nine-spoke wheels and a "Top Gear" style wing. It debuted at the
opening of Koenigsegg Abu Dhabi alongside another CCX in October
2007, and shortly thereafter went on display at the Middle East
International Motor Show in Dubai. Following its appearances, it
returned to �ngelholm. In 2008, the Koenigsegg was shipped to
Calgary, Canada and was offered as one of the grand prizes at that
year's Cash and Cars Lottery to benefit the Alberta Cancer
Foundation and Canadian Cancer Society. Louie Edgi drew the winning
ticket but elected to take a cash prize of $1 million CAD instead;
his small hometown of Norman Wells, Northwest Territories,
possessed no roads capable of letting the 1,000 horsepower hypercar
loose. The car subsequently returned to �ngelholm for storage. In
2009, the car was purchased directly from Koenigsegg and, at the
request of its new owner, it was promptly upgraded to "green"
specification, fitted with U.S.-spec red side markers and a
passenger-side airbag, and given a new Koenigsegg "chronograph"
gauge cluster with a mph speedometer. The car arrived in the United
States in February 2010 and joined a private Florida-based
collection, where it was driven infrequently. Chassis 7041 made a
brief but memorable cameo in the closing scene of Fast Five, in
which it was portrayed as a car owned by Christopher "Ludacris"
Bridges alongside CCXR Special Edition 7072 driven by Tyrese
Gibson. In 2012, the car was acquired by the Pinnacle Portfolio
collection, joining a superb roster of collector cars. Here, it was
maintained by Koenigsegg-certified mechanic Rock Ruby, who had
updated the car with suspension components from the Koenigsegg
Agera before Pinnacle's acquisition. The car then transferred via
public sale to a private collector in Denver, Colorado, in 2015,
and changed hands two years later to a mythical collection in
Oregon-once again joining the ranks of an elite group of high-end
exotics. Under this owner, it received the coveted $66,500 Ghost
Package through O'Gara Coach in Beverly Hills, California, the
premier luxury car dealership and Koenigsegg service center in Los
Angeles. Around 2020, the CCXR was further enhanced with a
custom-fabricated titanium cat-back Boden Autohaus exhaust system,
gunmetal wheels, and paint protection film. After accruing most of
its mileage through its Oregon-based owner, chassis 7041 briefly
sold to Utah-based collector "Supercar Ron" in January 2023, who
refitted it with silver nine-spoke wheels, before it was delivered
to its current owner during Monterey Car Week that August.
This CCXR has since resided with the consignor in Southern
California. Its current caretaker has regularly taken the car to
local high-end supercar shows to share the illustrious Koenigsegg
with local car enthusiasts. In October 2023, the car received a
comprehensive service at Yost Auto Tailoring in Costa Mesa,
California, totaling just under $15,000. Here it received its
annual Koenigsegg CCX service and was modernized with a JVC radio
with Bluetooth capability, back-up camera, hard-wired CTEK battery
maintainer, and roof storage case. Yost most recently performed the
Koenigsegg's annual service in December 2024.
CCXR 7041 is now offered with 3,939 miles at the time of cataloging
and a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report confirming the car's
well-documented mileage accumulation and service history. Detailed
service invoices totaling more than $224,000 from previous owners
further describe annual CCXR services and inspections performed on
time by various respected shops including European Exotic Center in
Tampa, Florida, Canepa in Scotts Valley, California, and Koenigsegg
Beverly Hills.
Offered with known provenance, rare factory options, tasteful
upgrades, and a documented history of expert care, this CCXR
represents an exceptionally rare chance to acquire one of
Koenigsegg's most significant early builds with its desirable
six-speed manual transmission. The CCXR is unapologeticall...for
