You can never miss out Koenigsegg CCX while talking about super sports cars with glamour! CCX referring to Competition Coupe X, is the new model by Koenigsegg launched in 2006 on the anniversary date of Koenigsegg. One word for this car is – SUPERB! It’s just an outstanding car that leaves you all contented! Style, speed, horsepower and comfort are all integrated within this car.
 
   
Yes it is expensive but its worth it! That’s at least what people say who have driven it till now! Its priced at $545568 but don’t let it be a turn off! It’s not less than any Ferrari of Mustang out there. In fact in certain areas it’s even better! 
 
What’s cool about this car? 

The question should what’s not cool about this car! The entire body is made up of aluminum. You get fog lamps and front lamps, optimal headlights, brake cooling system and most of all the space within the headroom is of about 50 mm. that’s actually amusing because most of the sports car in this category don’t really have that much of space. It is one of the most spacious sports cars with that many features! 



 
   
The all adored engine!

How about an engine that produces an output power of 806 bhp at just 6900 rmp? Isn’t that amusing? That’s not enough! It produces 678 lb-ft torque at 5700 rpm! The engine comes with a capacity of 4700 cc and is capable of completing the 0-60 round in just 3.2 seconds!! That’s truly fast! Most of the sports cars out there do that in 4 seconds. It even gets better as soon as you find that there is a manual 6 speed transmission making it even more luring for sports car drivers! Who would want to drive such a car with an automatic gear? That’s such a turn-off! The top speed of this car is 256 mph so you can imagine how much fun you’ll be having with a manual transmission with that much of speed. By the way, don’t forget to put on your seat belts! 
 
You don’t even have to worry about the tires smoking off! Well they do smoke but they last long as well. The Koenigsegg comes with carbon fiber wheels backed up with ceramic discs. These ceramic discs have eight piston calipers just in front and at the back they have six calipers. 
 
On the front portion you get front lamps, fog lamps and optimal headlights. If you are thinking that’s what will make your experience worthwhile then you need to check this out – the interior is equipped with leather seats, and air conditioning system, a chic dashboard and is made up of carbon fiber.  So are you still thinking of a Ferrari? Well if you are then you truly don’t know much about sports cars. Since its release, the Koenigsegg has become one of the most eyed cars of all time. Its short, it’s fast and its comfortable. You won’t even feel awkward while driving it! Believe it or not, on your top speed you’d actually feel as if you are sky nine! But that’s the catch! Don’t be too excited because the car can really speed up so a bit of caution is necessary here. 

Sports car lovers have already listed this car in the top 10 list of the century! What do you think?
