The Koenigsegg CCXR, the second most powerful production car in the world, has a price tag more fitting for a King.  $2.3 million doesn’t go as far as it used to.  But the Koenigsegg CCXR Special Edition does sport E85 ethanol fuel so you can feel like you’re part of the environmental movement - NOT.

It takes the GDP of a small country to build one of these things, but that’s what happens when you want a twin-supercharged 4.7L V8 and a mind-googling (yes we said googling) 1018 horsepower.  That’s 0-62 in 2.9 seconds!!!!!!  Parked in front of the Chinese Theatre and need to get outta fast?  Well, in less then 3 seconds, you’ll be breaking city speed limits.  Top speed is 250 mph, just slightly less than that 747 flight to Sweden, where this gorgeous monster hails from.
