Here's a picture of my wife driving it. Racing legend Justin Bell (FIA GT2 champion, Le Mans GT2 champion, Justin Bell GT Experience school named after him) is in the passenger seat:

Much to my eternal shame, she did the most clean launch of the entire event.



holy crap lucky!!!!

I hope to be as successful as you someday... i mean honestly... Noble M400 and an M5 as a "beater" wow. just wow.


heres a question... i see it has the wing on the back... now, when this car was tested on topgear... it didnt have a wing... and it crashed and they said that it would've been so much faster with a wing for downforce. then a few episodes later they brought it back with a wing... and the whole time the show gave the impression that the wing was their idea and that they influenced this change to the car... so which is it? does it normally come with a wing and top gear got one weird ont that didnt? or did topgear really influence them to add a wing to the CCX?



Actually, the car was always offered with a wing as an option, though most people do not get it.

The wing does do a little, but not much.

What you saw in the 2nd Top Gear episode was mainly due to 2 things:

1. Chassis & suspension retuning: they dialed out some of the oversteer.

2. The Stig didn't screw up the turn. Everyone makes mistakes, even him. He just happen to drive a cleaner lap the 2nd show.

The Koenigsegg is surprisingly easy to drive for a supercar of that caliber.
