2022 marks two important milestones for Swedish hypercar brand Koenigsegg.
Spotlight
It's the 20th anniversary of the release of the CC8S
Spotlight
The CC850 is about 7 inches longer than the CC8S, and it's a bit wider and taller as well
Spotlight
On the inside, things look much closer to a modern Koenigsegg, but the CC850's mostly symmetrical dashboard and thin center console are reminiscent of the CC8S.
Spotlight
Powering the CC850 is Koenigsegg's flat-plane-crank twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8
Spotlight
The Koenigsegg Engage Shift System (KESS) as Koenigsegg calls it is a development of the company's multi-clutch automatic, the Light Speed Transmission (LST).
Spotlight
One imagines that's made possible by adjusting how the shift gates actuate the transmission, though Koenigsegg didn't specify how exactly it works
Spotlight
Up to 1,385 horsepower on E85, Koenigsegg says the CC850 is the fastest and most powerful manual production car in the world.
