CCXR Special Edition. I should never have got inside this car!

My life will forever revolve around trying to steal it now. I met Von Koeniggsegg as well. Cool guy. Sooooooooo..... If anyone wants to plot with me on how to steal this car send me a PM. I'm not thinking far enough ahead to know that it would be impossible to sell something like this. But if we only get it started before we got caught and got life in prison. It would be worth it. And im not even going to post my cell phone pics.... no justice. Only 2 ever made.

Meh. Ride. A whole lot of fast without the jailtime (for stealing anyhow... now speeding and evasion.... that may be another issue ).

I am a Koenigsegg fan so I envy you to no end right now, but that's not a Trevita:
2010 Koenigsegg Trevita

The Trevita has the 'white' carbon fiber. This picture is my desktop right now:
2010 Koenigsegg Trevita - Wheel - 1920x1440 - Wallpaper

Just to give you an idea of how much I like their cars...a couple of years ago my gf went to Vegas for a week. It used to be that Ceaser's Palace had the only US Koenigsegg dealer. Well I checked their inventory right before she left and they had one. I told my gf and all of her friends that she had to get a picture of it before coming back. She went and paid just to get in ($8!), only to find out they didn't have it and must have sold it before they got there. I was so sad . Anyway, major life goal is to get one some day. Luckily I am fortunate enough to still be young.

Yeah he said is was just ccxr special edition. I thought it was the trevita from the info. The SE and Trevita are the only ones with the dual spoiler. Its interesting though because it has all the specs of the Trevita, even the paddle shifters.

...okay, here's the plan: talk him into showing the car at daycare fundraiser event, then come roadracing up in your elise, making sure to knock a few toddlers airborne as you pull into the parking lot...while everyone's distracted by the carnage, you hop out, slip into the CCXR driver's seat, and make your getaway, clean, smooth, and trouble-free...

That sounds like a plan. I need to make sure I hit enough babies though. Only hitting a few may not be enough get peoples interest away from the car.

But not so many that every parent in the place rips your apendages off before you can get into the car. It's hard for a bloody torso to climb into a car like that.

...clearly you haven't spent enough time with the hardtop affixed to your elise - losing a few appendages could make ingress and egress from a low-slung coupé quite a bit easier indeed!..

I wish I could say I ordered it that way. I like it though.

From wiki:
"The phantom insignia on the Koenigsegg's rear window is a tribute to the Swedish squadron that operated from the F10 base, which had the ghost as its emblem"

2,500,000. I wish there were 4 zeros at the end of that price tag instead of 5
