Extract:
There has never been a faster way to beat the London congestion charge. The Koenigsegg CCXR Edition, which made its UK debut this weekend at the MPH motor show in Earls Court, west London, claims to be the fastest European production car of all time. And because it runs on bioethanol, it qualifies for exemption from the congestion charge. I suppose every little bit helps, given that the CCXR costs a breathtaking £1,197,426. Plus Vat.
What an utterly amazing machine you get for the money, though. Clothed entirely in carbon fibre, the CCXR deploys a 4.8 litre twin-supercharged V8 that develops 1,004bhp, enough beans to hustle the car to 62mph in just 2.9sec.
Top speed is quoted at 254mph-plus, which, if correct, is just the tiniest bit faster than the mighty Bugatti Veyron.
In fact the Bugatti and CCXR are so closely matched on power and speed that this would be the most epic drag race of all time.
