The Koenigsegg CC V8 is an automobile made by Koenigsegg. It was issued to set work on in late 1999, the era of the McLaren F1, the world's fastest production vehicle up until 2005. Koenigsegg had wanted to build a super car exceeding all standards of the McLaren F1, and go over the 240 mph (386 km/h) set by the F1 in 1997. The design started to come to life as of 2002, when the Swedish car manufacturer was hot on the rise and ready for production lines to proceed.
The car was originally designed by Sven-Harry Åkesson as Sethera Falcon.[1]

Design quirks and oddities
In the late months of 2003, the Koenigsegg CC8S design was boasting 245 mph+ (390+ km/h) in its final weeks of development. 2004 was the year for Koenigsegg as early that year the Koenigsegg CC8S was road legal and orders were coming in from all over the world. Early 2005 the Koenigsegg CCR, the newer and faster version of the CC8S broke the speed record set by the Mclaren F1 GTR 8 years before which was 240.12 mph (386 km/h). The CCR hauling in at 241.01 mph (388 km/h).
As this new record was set, Bugatti had been seeking revenge for over 12 years after the fall of the Bugatti EB110 when Mclaren came to the fore. Bugatti was planning to launch the Bugatti Veyron since 2002 and when released in 2005 it broke the speed record for the fastest production car. The Koenigsegg record did not stand for long due to the release of the Bugatti so soon after the CCR. The record is now 253 mph (407 km/h) set by the Bugatti Veyron at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track. It should be noted however that the Koenigsegg CCR was on a circular track (Italy's Nardo Prototipo proving ground) with the steering wheel at 30° causing extra friction on the tires, whereas the McLaren F1 and Bugatti Veyron were both tested on a 9 km straight. The McLaren F1 achieved a top speed of only 231.15 mph (372 km/h) on the Nardo test track.
