February the 28th 2005 – Driven by Loris Bicocchi, the Koenigsegg CCR broke the production road car speed record, achieving a new official top speed of 388 (387.87) km/h at Italy’s Nardo Track. Thus, the CCR has broke the official McLaren F1 record of 386.7 km/h, which was set using a prototype called the XP5.
Koenigsegg say the CCR was ‘technically standard’, having tires, ride height, engine configuration, wheel geometries, gearbox, clutch, brakes, boost pressure matching the production car’s specification.
