Recently me and my father opened several businesses in the eastern part of Ontario, near the Quebec border, and they have been quite successful in terms of revenue. Now I recently bought an R8 but I do have to say, I've always wanted a Koenigsegg, even though they are not powered by Audi engines any longer. It's been a long time dream of mine to own one.

Well, I was on a business trip to Naples, in Florida, where the Koenigsegg of North America headquarters is conveniently located. Me and some business partners are planning to expand some of our businesses there some time soon and we were meeting with some potential partners. I decided to drop by the Koenigsegg headquarters down there and managed to talk with some representatives... the next day, I returned, and I might've done one of the best, or worst, decisions of my life: I ordered one. I will be getting it delivered to my doorstep in approximately 18 months. Apparently, Koenigsegg will be flying me to Sweden to inspect the car, when it is finished, before it is shipped over to me.

Meet the Koenigsegg CCX... more than $500,000 worth of supercar goodness.



806 hp, twin-supercharged V8 which drives this beast from 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds. The representative told me to get the paddle-shifting version but I respectfully declined... and then he told me that if I insist on getting the manual, I will have to sign a waiver.

Needless to say, I am scared ****less of this thing. I will have to sell the R8 and IS F next summer.

 

Congrats!!!

 

Wow congrats! Your avatar suits you now! haha

 

Hey you're in Dubai right? I'll be down there next month with my cousin... I heard the real estate is coming back up again; last year about $280 billion worth of real estate development came to a halt.

 

I'd say it was worth it Pics (when you get it) or ban!

 

which version did you order?
CCXR???

luck b*tard, congrats!!!

love the doors on that car.

 

Man you are one of a very limited number of people to even get a chance to drive this thing . I think the Koenigsegg volume has only been 1800 cars total

 

congrats! you have guts to drop 500k like that. wow!

 

I love that they made you sign a waiver to buy the manual version haha, must be nuts! Congrats!!!

 

Wow, nice choice, congrats!!!

 

Congrats, unbelievable car!

 

a stickshift with over 800hp? you're mad.

but congrats anyway!

 

This looks much better than the R8.. Weren't you having some mechanical issues with the R8 right from the begining? Well, great pick up my friend.. Amazing looking car..

 

WOW! Congratulations and I'm also glad to hear that you ordered the manual tranny - I guess that I'm just old school but in my mind real sports cars have (and will always have) 3 pedals! Also I would find it near impossible to wait 18 months for delivery, but at least you have the R8 to entertain you in the meantime!

 

Congrats! That's awesome...but 18 months to wait for a car is a long time, hopefully with your businesses doing so well you'll be too busy to even worry about the wait time and soon as you know it those 18 months will seem to have gone by really fast
