Koenigsegg CCX and CCXR Edition

If there's one thing the world could use, it's another limited-edition supercar with a seven-figure price tag. Well, that's what Koenigsegg thinks anyway. And it's kind of hard to argue after seeing pictures of their new CCX Edition and CCXR Edition models to debut at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show next week, what with their black carbon fiber bodies with red accents and carbon fiber wheels.

Oh, and then there's the power aspect. The CCX Edition gets a supercharged 4.8-liter V-8 pumping out 888 horsepower, while the bad-boy CCXR makes 1018 horses from the same displacement, but with a higher compression ratio and running on ethanol. Both cars are capable of the same 2.9 second 0 to 62 mph runs, according to Koenigsegg, likely as a result of limited traction off the line. The gap broadens at higher speeds, however, as the CCXR hits 124 mph in 8.9 seconds, 0.3 seconds faster than the CCX. The CCXR also boasts a top speed of 250 mph that is 5 mph faster than its lesser-powered sibling.
