This Used Koenigsegg CCR Is The ‘Affordable’ Way To Live Out Your One:1 Dreams

Since the One:1 is record hunting at the Nurburgring this week, we thought we'd dig a used Koenigsegg out of the classifieds. In comparison to the One:1, this CCR could almost be called affordable...

If you watched the Koenigsegg One:1 blasting around the Nurburgring earlier this week and thought: “hey! I’d love one of those,” you’re now presented by two problems. Firstly, the price tag for these is a little steep. And by ‘a little steep’, we mean nearly £2 million. Secondly, all six production versions were sold long ago, and a prototype was offered up last year for a staggering £4 million. However, there are a few Koenigseggs kicking around on the used market.

We plucked out this CCR, and while it can’t quite match the One:1’s monstrous 1322bhp output, it’s astonishingly quick. The 4.7-litre Ford Modular V8 has been twin supercharged to deliver over 800bhp, which will be more than enough to make your innards cry out in pain every time you step on the throttle. This is a car that’ll do a standing quarter-mile in under 10 seconds, and managed to hit 241mph at the Nardo Ring a few years ago.

Under the skin you’ll find a carbonfibre monocoque chassis, while the body panels are made from a blend of carbonfibre and kevlar. This, ladies and gents, is a very exotic car, and one of only 14 ever made. Put it this way, you’re not likely to bump into another one at your local petrol station. Where you’ll be visiting a lot.

It’s also significantly cheaper than a One:1: the 1000 mile example we found is up for a mere £649,950. How about that for some sensible used car buying advice…?

Didn’t Clarkson name this as one of the most uncomfortable supercars he ever drove?

Clarkson is an old man, anything that’s not a Rolls-Royce is uncomfortable for him.

I’ve seen those in the classifieds for a few years now. The reason why it still hasn’t been sold is mainly because that car was built during the early days of Koenigsegg. So the car has quality issues. And this car was introduced when Koenigsegg moved into a new factory as the old one was destroyed in a fire accident. Still, quite a sum of money if you want to live with all the quirks.

Anyone else prefer early koengkdidjfjdds over newer ones? I think they look a lot cleaner

I like the earlier ones a lot more style-wise, they don’t have all this over-exaggerated spaceship-batmobile-whatever aero stuff.

I like both early and the new ones. But you can get the earlier models with a manual, so…

Just imagine how expensive they will be in like 20 years, good investment i’d say.

Koenigsegg is NOT record hunting. They’ve expressed it on their blog, Facebook, Twitter… They are merely testing some new parts and doing general development on the car, they say they have no intentions of aiming for a fast lap time at least this time.
