The 2006 Koenigsegg CCXR Prototype supercar being auctioned by Bonhams on December 12.
-
The cockpit features a full carbon-fiber dashboard and a towering shift lever for the six-speed manual gearbox.
-
Built by Koenigsegg, this 4.8-liter twin-supercharged V-8 has been modified to run on both E85 and E100 ethanol fuel.
-
Christian von Koenigsegg allocated the car to Norwegian industrial designer Bård Eker, so as to accumulate road mileage for real-world testing.
-
The 1,018 hp supercar covers zero to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds.
-
“It’s a car that’s never been registered for the road, and has resided with its only owner from new,” says Tim Schofield, senior specialist at Bonhams.
-
The car currently wears its head-turning “Streetfighter 7031” graphics, Rudskogen circuit decals, and “Koenigsegg Official Test Car” stickers.
-
The owner estimates that probably only a third of his car’s current reading of 18,643 kilometers (11,586 miles) are actual road miles, as Koenigsegg took a power drill to the odometer cable and added miles so it could meet the test track’s mileage requirement.
-
Bonhams gives the auction car a price estimate of between $1.8 million and $2.3 million.
