Koenigsegg has created the Bio Fuel Powered CCXR which is the first homologated car currently in production to achieve over 1000 bhp. The Koenigsegg CCXR has a top speed in excess of 250 mph (400+km/h) and can achieve 62mph (100 km/h) in just 3.2secs.
The incredible level of performance has been made possible by following conscientious and forward thinking strategies, and due to the simple fact that the ethanol in biofuel has the positive side effect of cooling the combustion chambers, as well as containing a higher octane value, well over 100 RON, which gives the higher level of power. Due to the combination of biofuel possessing higher octane and cooling characteristics, the power output has risen to 1018 bhp at 7200 rpm and the torque to 1060 nm at 6100 rpm.
The CCXR Biofuel upgrade has been developed in-house by the skilled technicians at Koenigsegg, led by Christian Von Koenigsegg, Marco Garver and Anders Hoglund from the Koenigsegg partner company Cargine Engineering.
Following the long term strategy of Koenigsegg, all previously manufactured CCX models will have the possibility to be converted by the factory to accept the biofuel option and reap the performance and environmental benefits of this eco friendly fuel.
