The very first Koenigsegg CCR to be unveiled to the public will be auctioned next month and is expected to sell between € 720,000 ($ 877,000) and € 760,000 ($ 926,000).
The very first Koenigsegg presented to the world was called the CC and a few years later the Swedish niche automaker unveiled the CC8S. Then, at the Geneva Motor Show in 2004, it showed off that very CCR, the third model it had built and a significant improvement over its predecessors.

This CCR has the chassis 7011 and was used by Koenigsegg as a show car for a few years before it was newly registered in Germany in May 2006. It is painted in a custom color called Lava Orange and is one of only 14 CCR models ever built. The supercar has spent some time in collections in Germany, France and Luxembourg but still has only 2,347 km on the clock.
The CCR is powered by a 4.7-liter V8 that does not have a pair of turbochargers like the brand’s current models, but instead has a pair of compressors. All in all, the drivetrain delivers 806 horsepower and 679 lb-ft (920 Nm) of torque, all of which are delivered to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
On February 28, 2005, Koenigsegg brought a CCR to the Nardo-Ring in Italy and brought it to a top speed of 241.01 mph (387.87 km / h), outperforming the McLaren F1 as the fastest production car in the world. However, this record was broken by the Bugatti Veyron in April 2005.
