When thinking about supercars, one of the last things that spring to mind are their environmental friendliness. Even though the very low and exclusive production volume of Koenigsegg can hardly be considered to have a measurable impact on the Co2 problem that global society is facing, it is an impressive statement that even a small and extreme company like Koenigsegg can afford to develop environmentally focussed solutions. By following conscientious and forward thinking strategies, Koenigsegg has managed to create the Bio Fuel Powered CCXR - environmentally friendly 1200 with even more spectacular performance than the standard CCX.

These two almost conflicting results are made possible due to the simple fact that the ethanol in biofuel has the positive side effect of cooling the combustion chambers, as well as a higher octane value, well over 100 RON, which gives the high power. Due to the fact that the biofuel has higher octane and cooling characteristics, the power has gone up to 1018 hp at 7200 rpm and the torque to 1060 nm at 6100 rpm.

It is natural to expect a substantial gain in power when optimizing the engine for E85(biofuel) instead of Petrol. Still the actual gain obtained even surprised the enthusiastic engineers at Koenigsegg.

Following the long term strategy of Koenigsegg, all previous CCXs will have the possibility to be converted by the factory to accept the biofuel option and reap the performance and environmental benefi ts of this wonderful and eco friendly fuel.

The CCXR Biofuel upgrade has been developed in-house on the factory's engine dyno by the skilled technicians at Koenigsegg, led by Christian Koenigsegg, Marco Garver and Anders Hoglund from the Koenigsegg partner company Cargine Engineering.

The CCXR is the first homologated car currently in production to reach over 1000 BHP."

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

ROFL



flower power?

 

Flower Power, wtf thats gay.

 

that car is sick in ever way if i had the money i would buy it.

 

Its obviously a joke by them, considering their "flower power" car would run circles around your silly ls1.

But yeah your right, its totally gay to make the second fastest production car even better by converting it to a enviormentally friendly fuel, god what on earth were they thinking. Your a fucking idiot.

 

What are you talking about, The E-85 fuel gave it more horsepower; Nothing to snoot at.

 

Went right over your head.

 

As badass as this car is, theres another car I would actually rather have...and it has less than 270 HP

Lotus Exige 265E comes into the sunlight - AutoblogGreen



Supercharged Elise @ 265 HP....0-60 in 3.8...and one of the best handling most tossable cars ever made

 

How did anything I say infer that my car was better? Why the personal attack on me, just cause I thought the license plate thing was gay.. which I think most people would agree.



And I didn't say the car, or the performance was gay, I was simply referring to the license plate, your the "fucking idiot" e-thug.

 

I like that car better, its so small in real life though..
