In the just published March -06 edition of the German Magazine Sport Auto Koenigsegg takes the crown from former test leader, Porsche Carrera GT(68 points), with an amazing 74 point(out of 80 possible).
Christian Koenigsegg says:

“Considering that the test was conducted in less than ideal conditions, the results are just fantastic and once again proves the honest performance of our machines. The CCX is scheduled for another go later on this year, so we are hoping to improve these results even further, considering that most likly it will be warmer and drier at this second go.”

Quotes from the Sport Auto Article:

- What the CCR shows in performance, seems to be from another world.

- No Supertest candidate has gone around the track with such speed as the Swedish “Hammer”.

- No one can doubt the engine force and aerodynamic qualities of the Koenigsegg CCR.

- Even with a third of the power to spare, open corners become sharp, and straights become curves, due to the sheer speed of the CCR.

- With a lateral G force of 1.35 the Koenigsegg CCR is on the physical limit of what road legal tires can manage. With racing tires this vehicle would reach racing car levels of grip.

- With 313 km/h over the Döttinger Höhe, 267 Km/h thru the difficult Schwedenkreuz and reaching 224 Km/h just before braking at the end of Zielgarten in Hockenheim are figures recognizable as records.

- Not only does the CCR show text book like behaviour on the limit, shift of load does hardly disturb the car.

- Even sliding with turned of traction control, the car is easy controllable.

- There is no hint of any nervousness in the steering at high speeds.

- The engine is a fantastically user friendly being. The engine characteristics are very similar to a normally aspirated one, since it develops the explosive force evenly over the revband.

- The unusually crisp sounding engine dominates the scene, with the same authority as a Jet engine.
