The exclusive nature of these special 'Edition' sports cars will take the 'standard' cars, if you could ever call them 'standard', to a new level when they are launched at the Geneva Motor show in March 2008, where the first hand-over will take place. It's not surprising that, at the time of writing, two Editions have already been sold.

Just twenty (20) of the special 'Edition' versions will be built, sixteen (16) based on the CCX model and four (4) based on the CCXR (E85/petrol flex fuel) model, both of which feature a 5.0L twin supercharged Koenigsegg engine, delivering 888bhp and 1018bhp respectively. While supplies will be severely limited, performance certainly is not! With acceleration quoted as being 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.9 seconds and a top speed 417+ km/h (250+ mph), there's definitely nothing remotely 'limiting' about these cars!

The most distinguishing feature that makes Koenigsegg's 'Edition' versions stand-out from their 'standard ' CCX and CCR counterparts is the shimmering virgin carbon fibre finish. While the 'standard' versions use ACG's composite carbon fibre prepreg Body Panel System BPS240 for the sleek and stylish painted body, the 'Edition' versions use ACG's MTM®57 composite carbon fibre prepreg (pre-impregnated) material to give that distinctive carbon-effect appearance. So, what you really see is that exquisite mixture of a carbon fibre weave and the specially formulated resin matrix right there on the surface of this sleek and stylish, world-class 'Edition' sports car. MTM57, just one of ACG's composite carbon fibre component prepreg materials, exhibits excellent toughness and can be processed using autoclave, vacuum bag and press techniques. As will be evident on the Edition sports cars, the surface finish achievable with this prepreg is second to none.
