It was called the CC8S, and only six units were created… Engineer and Bond-supervillain lookalike Christian von Koenigsegg founded the company that bears his name is 1994. To sell cars in the US, many alterations were made to the design of the CCR; the previously used Ford Modular engine was replaced by an in-house developed Koenigsegg engine design… The project began with the aim of making a global car, designed and engineered to comply with global safety and environment regulations, particularly to enter the United States car market. The Koenigsegg CCXR Edition was created to break records in the traditional Koenigsegg way.

Koenigsegg Automotive AB is a manufacturer of high-performance sports cars, based in Ängelholm, Skåne County, Sweden. Koenigsegg developed a unique coated fiber solution for the Trevita program that transformed the fibers from black to a sparkling, silvery white. The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engine sports car manufactured by Swedish automotive manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB. At a basic level, you could describe the Trevita as a limited-edition variant of the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition. Our aim with the CCXR Edition is to deliver superior performance – on the track, in a straight line and your favourite winding road – and to do so in style and comfort.

After years of prototyping and development, the first street-legal model was put into production in 2002. Prior to the Trevita, car manufacturers only had access to traditional black carbon fibres. The Koenigsegg visible carbon weave bodywork is renowned around the globe for its uniqueness and perfection. Just 22 years old at the time, Koenigsegg had lofty aspirations, setting out to make a supercar capable of taking on the world’s fastest four-wheeled vehicles.
