The Koenigsegg CCX combines raw power with an attractive style that makes it perfect for a Sunday drive down the coast or a quick race at the track. This Swedish supercar is a sight to behold if you're a fan of sports vehicles. The body itself is enough to induce a purchase from many.

The two-door car has a sleek and stylish body that looks more like a fighter jet than a conventional car. The removable top is able to be stored under the trunk, so changing on the go isn't a problem. The carbon-fiber construction also adds a lightweight durability to the body. Similar to Lamborghini, the actuation doors add another stylish and convenient touch to the exterior.

Koenigsegg released their CCX (Competition Coupe X) in 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show. Another model was also released, the CCXR, that ran on bio fuel, making it very eco-friendly, but the original model is the one that's stuck in the hearts and minds of sports car enthusiasts everywhere. After this lightweight, powerful roadster with a wide wheelbase and picturesque body arrived at the show, it was clear Koenigsegg had developed a real contender.

The CCX's engine isn't as large as some of its competitors, but the size doesn't matter nearly as much as most people think. Even still, the 4.7 liter V8 with dual overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder is nothing to sneeze at. The engine is comprised of aluminum alloy, making it stronger, thinner and lighter than other engines - and with 806 bhp, it's more powerful than some larger engines. The CCX can reach 0 to 60 in 3.2 and is rumored to achieve speeds of up to 259mph.

In fact, the CCX wiped the floor with many of today's fastest and most popular supercars. In June of 2008, at a closed track overseen by SportAuto, a standard fully equipped CCX recorded a speed of 0 to 186mph in only 29.2 seconds, which was good enough to beat the Corvette Z06, Porsche 997 GT2, SLR McLaren 722, and the Lamborghini Murcielago, among other cars. This show of raw power instantly catapulted the Koenigsegg supercar to the top of the list.

Although its engine took a few ideas from Formula One Racing, the CCX transmission did not. The supercar still has a great tranny, with changeable gear ratios and a unique torque sensitive limited slip differential, but unlike the semi-manual instant shifting capabilities of some cars, the CCS relies on a six-speed manual gearbox with a twin plate clutch. The car's brakes are also a little outdated in terms of the composites going around today. The CCX uses cast iron disc brakes; however, they can be upgraded to carbon ceramics.

The pricing options range as much as the automobile options here: On the cheap end, the CXX costs around 500k, and on the expensive end, you can pay well over 2-million to drive this jet-on-wheels home with you.
