Koenigsegg Tuning

Hey Guys,

We had this car on the dyno on Friday and tuned it on E-85. Tech from Koenigsegg Sweden was here as well as a Ferrari tech and I. We tuned for about 6 hours getting it all dialed in. Really amazing car.

This is a CCXR Edition. I think there are 6 total in the world and this is the only one in the US. Full carbon Kevlar body.

Thanks for looking!!

Lol I cant really say. They asked me not to post it so I wont.

I will say it is one of the highest HP cars we have ever done on our dyno. It was very fast.

They were very straight forward about pictures and videos. They only allowed them at the end when we were all done.

I thought the CCXR was already flex fuel? (R only)

"The CCXR is an "environmentally-friendly" version of the CCX, powered by a modified twin-supercharged V8 engine from the CCX, converted to use E85 or E100 ethanol fuel as well as standard 98 octane petrol.[20] When run on regular petrol, the CCXR develops 806 bhp (601 kW), but when the car is run on E85 Biofuel, the CCXR develops 1,018 bhp (759 kW)"
