General History

The CCXR is an important car for Koenigsegg as it was the first Koenigsegg to run on E85 (bio)fuel, which enables it to be the first homologated production car to reach over 1,000 Hp. This particular car is chassis #7038 and it was the first CCXR ever built. The car made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007 sporting "Flower Power" badges to emphasize the environmental-friendliness of the bio fuel. 

#7038 made its next appearance at Motorfestivalen, a Norwegian car show organized in April 2007 but a couple of days after that, on April 25, this CCXR encountered some bad luck while filming an episode for TopGear. The car crashed and ended up in a ditch.

In November of 2007, this CCXR attended the Miles Per Hour (MPH) Goteborg event, where it joined Koenigseggs #7015, #7033 and #7036, followed by the MPH Stockholm event in February 2008 where it was accompanied by #7012 and #7015. This CCXR was next spotted when the Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway was on a tour in Fredrikstad and visited industrial designer and part owner of Koenigsegg Automotive AB, Bård Eker.   

On May 9th 2008, this CCXR was first registered in Norway with license plate DL90945 but the car was being listed for sale at Autostrada Sport four months later. It was only spotted once in 2009 when it was being detailed in May, followed by a period of over a year in which this CCXR was not publicly seen until it showed up in Tylösand, Sweden in July 2010. This CCXR attended the Broom festival in October 2010 and disappeared for almost two years until it surfaced once more at Autostrada Sport in July of 2012. It was seen twice more in 2012, in August at the Kagerod Skane and Knutstorp racetrack and when the car entered the Gran Turismo Europa event in September.

This CCXR was spotted next in April 2013 when it was visiting the Koenigsegg factory and seen a month later in its new patriotic Norwegian wrap at numerous locations throughout Europe when participating in the Gumball 3000. Later that year, in August, this Koenigsegg entered the Gran Turismo Europa 2013 event sporting another wrap, satin red and white this time. In November 2013 it was again listed for sale and displayed at Autostrada Sport.

In the first half of 2014 this Koenigsegg was spotted at Melbystrand Sweden, Autostrada Sport Norway and Goteborg Sweden before heading for Germany in July 2014 where the car was displayed and offered for sale at Pace, the official Koenigsegg representative for Germany, who had the wrap removed, revealing its original black color. After returning to its Norwegian owner, the car was driven in a few more events and was regularly seen at Pace/Esser Automotive for service. Occasionally the car was offered for sale, often for prices above market, and remained with its owner until 2022. At the time of writing, the car is wrapped satin black and offered for sale at Esser Automotive with an asking price of approximately 1.43 million euros.

This CCXR has approximately 53,500 km on the odometer, making it the highest-mileage Koenigsegg in existence, to the best of our knowledge.

Exterior Spec

Storm Black is the exterior colour of choice for this car, with accents like the front splitter, the side sills, the license plate holder section at the back and the Top Gear style rear wing finished in clear carbon fiber. The model call out badges are done in black and the "CCXR" script on the model call out badges is carried out in polished aluminum except for the R which is executed in green. The decorative badges behind the front wheel arches are done in black and merely show the Koenigsegg crest in silver. To top things off, polished aluminum was used on the front bonnet air intake and the windscreen washers. The car changed wheels multiple times but currently sits on golden nine spoke wheels.

Interior Spec

Black is the dominant interior color of this CCXR but some red alcantara accents can be seen on the doors and on the seats. The panels on top of the dashboard and the back panel behind the seats are fully black. A unique feature is the CCXR script with the green ‘R’ at the right of the satin carbon dashboard, just beneath the air conditioning outlet.

The interior of #7038 underwent some changes during its life, most noticeably the instrument cluster that was exchanged for the newer chrono-style one, that was first seen on chassis 7049. Apart from that a different radio was installed at least twice.
