Koenigsegg CCXR: which version to buy
The Koenigsegg CCXR in this catalogue is a one-version, one-generation choice: 4.7 V8 MT, Coupe, produced from 2007-01-01 to 2010-01-31. There is no second engine, no second gearbox, no restyling as a separate generation, and no later generation to “wait for.” If the question is which CCXR to buy from these data, the answer is 4.7 V8 MT because it is the only modification listed.
The Koenigsegg CCXR in this catalogue is a one-version, one-generation choice: 4.7 V8 MT, Coupe, produced from 2007-01-01 to 2010-01-31. There is no second engine, no second gearbox, no restyling as a separate generation, and no later generation to “wait for.” If the question is which CCXR to buy from these data, the answer is 4.7 V8 MT because it is the only modification listed. The rest of this article is why that version’s numbers sit where they do — power per litre, kilograms per horsepower, tank versus consumption — and what you cannot compare because it is not measured.
Which CCXR generation to buy
The CCXR has 1 generation. That generation ran from 2007-01-01 to 2010-01-31, body Coupe, with 1 version. There is no generation 2 in these data, so there is no arithmetic of “what the extra generation buys”: no extra horsepower between generations, no kerb-weight cut, no extra gears, no change from Manual to another gearbox, no change from RWD to another drive.
Buying “the later generation” is not an option here. Buying “the early generation” is the same car. The production window is the same for the generation and for 4.7 V8 MT (2007-01-01–2010-01-31). A restyling is not listed as its own generation, so you do not get a second identity with the same body and a different year band.
If you need a different Koenigsegg model, that is outside this dataset. Inside it, generation choice collapses to one line: generation 1, Coupe, one version.
Specs: the only version, named as in the data
4.7 V8 MT is the catalogue name. Do not rename it. There is no second 4.7 V8 MT with a different power figure to disambiguate.
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement (cm³) | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.7 V8 MT | 1018 | 1060 | 4700 | Gasoline | 8 | V-shaped | Turbo | Manual | RWD |
Further engine facts that belong to 4.7 V8 MT and nowhere else in this file: peak power at 7000 rpm, peak torque at 5600 rpm, 4 valves per cylinder, Direct injection (direct), compression ratio 8.8, fuel grade 95. Engine location is not measured. Bore and stroke are not measured.
There is no second row to subtract from this one. “What the extra money buys” cannot be a second CCXR engine in these data; it can only be the package this version already is: 1018 hp, 1060 Nm, 4700 cm³, Gasoline, 8, V-shaped, Turbo, Manual, 6 gears, RWD.
Engine: power per litre and torque per litre on 4.7 V8 MT
Displacement is 4700 cm³, which is 4.7 litres in the version name 4.7 V8 MT.
- Power per litre: 1018 / 4.7 ≈ 216.6 hp per litre.
- Torque per litre: 1060 / 4.7 ≈ 225.5 Nm per litre.
Those ratios are the whole “engine choice.” You cannot pick a larger or smaller CCXR V8 here. You cannot pick a non-Turbo CCXR here. Boost is Turbo; a naturally aspirated sibling is not in the table.
Compression 8.8 sits with Turbo and Gasoline 95. That is the fuel and boost pairing as given, not a second tune. Peak torque at 5600 rpm and peak power at 7000 rpm are 1400 rpm apart on the same engine. There is no second power/rpm pair to prefer.
Cylinders: 8, layout: V-shaped, valves per cylinder: 4. Layout is not something you choose between versions; it is this version only.
Performance: 0–100, top speed, and what is not measured
4.7 V8 MT is listed at 3.1 to 100 and 400 top speed. Those figures are not compared to a slower or faster CCXR in this catalogue because no other CCXR version exists here.
What you cannot treat as a measured performance figure:
- City consumption: not measured
- CO2: not measured
- Eco class: not measured
- Gross weight: not measured (so you cannot compute payload)
The measured economy pair is highway 18 and mixed 22. Mixed is 4 above highway on the same version (22 − 18 = 4). City is not a third measured point; it is not measured, not “the same as mixed.”
MPG and tank: range arithmetic on 4.7 V8 MT
The tank is 70. Consumption units are as given (highway 18, mixed 22); city is not measured.
- Highway range from tank ÷ highway × 100: 70 / 18 × 100 ≈ 389.
- Mixed range: 70 / 22 × 100 ≈ 318.
- Mixed uses 4 more than highway on the listed figures, so mixed range is shorter by 389 − 318 ≈ 71 on this arithmetic.
There is no second tank size and no second consumption pair. You do not buy a “more economical CCXR” inside this model list. You buy 4.7 V8 MT and live with highway 18, mixed 22, tank 70, city not measured.
Fuel is Gasoline, grade 95. There is no diesel, no second octane, no hybrid in these data.
Dimensions, weight, and kilograms per horsepower
Kerb weight 1280, power 1018:
- Kilograms per horsepower: 1280 / 1018 ≈ 1.26 kg/hp.
- Horsepower per kilogram: 1018 / 1280 ≈ 0.80 hp/kg.
Gross weight is not measured, so “how much you can add” is not measured. Ground clearance is 100. Tank is 70. Wheels are 255/35 R19 and 335/30 R20 — two sizes on the same version, not two versions with different wheels.
Suspension, both ends: Independent, spring. Brakes, both ends: Ceramic ventilated. Drive: RWD. Gearbox: Manual, 6 gears. None of those have an alternate CCXR spec in this file. You cannot choose “the AWD CCXR” or “the Automatic CCXR” from these data.
Reliability and problems
Reliability, known faults, and service intervals are not measured in the launch data. Do not fill that gap from outside. The only mechanical facts you can stand on are the ones attached to 4.7 V8 MT: Gasoline Turbo 8-cylinder V-shaped engine, Direct injection (direct), compression 8.8, Manual 6, RWD, ceramic ventilated brakes, independent spring suspension, kerb 1280, clearance 100.
If a buying decision needs a reliability ranking between versions, this catalogue cannot supply it: there is one version, and reliability is not measured.
Which version to choose
Choose 4.7 V8 MT. It is the only Koenigsegg CCXR version in these data. Generation count is 1; body is Coupe; years are 2007-01-01 to 2010-01-31.
What that choice is, in numbers:
- 1018 hp at 7000 rpm and 1060 Nm at 5600 rpm from 4700 cm³ ≈ 216.6 hp/l and 225.5 Nm/l.
- Kerb 1280 against 1018 hp ≈ 1.26 kg/hp.
- 3.1 to 100, 400 top speed.
- Manual 6, RWD, Turbo, Gasoline 95.
- Highway 18, mixed 22, tank 70 (city not measured).
- Clearance 100, wheels 255/35 R19 and 335/30 R20.
- Engine location, bore and stroke, CO2, eco class, and gross weight: not measured.
There is no second CCXR to pay extra for. There is no weaker 4.7 V8 MT to avoid. The comparison that these data allow is internal: how dense the power and torque are per litre, how light the kerb figure is per horsepower, and how far 70 goes at 18 versus 22. The version name to keep as the link anchor is 4.7 V8 MT.
