Official data is out and the answer is: “No, the Koenigsegg CCX is no Veyron-beater, in the top speed stakes”.
Koenigsegg declares a top speed of “more than 395 km/h”, while Bugatti can claim 407 km/h.
The 0-100 km/h sprint (3.
2 seconds) is slower too.
What the Koenigsegg has is the best power/weight ratio: the car weighs 1.
180 kg and the 4.
6 liters engine has 806 bhp / 920 Nm.
The CCX needs only 9.
9 seconds to cover the quarter mile from a standstill, with an end speed of 235 km/h.
From 100-0 km/h it needs only 31 meters.
Last, the useless fuel consumption data: 17 liters / 100 km.
