Thanks for sharing, what a fantastic car. I'm a big Jay Leno's Garage fan. Take this piece for example. He covered everything including how the doors open, roof stores, air ducts etc etc. I especially like the interior and the dash on the car.

My favorite quote "same power as a Bugatti with 1/2 the weight, that's all you need to know!"

Well done Jay!

I wonder if Jay ever toured their factory himself

AMAZING!!!

Great find my man.

One of three of Koenigsegg’s CCXR has found itself in South Africa and is now being sold for a “paltry” $5 million.

As eye-whopping as the number is, this particular Trevita CCXR is not like most Koenigsegg supercars you can find anywhere in the world – and even that is an understatement considering you don’t find a lot of these cars anywhere to begin with.

The reason for the exorbitant price tag is because this particular one – along with two others – comes with a diamond-coated carbon fibre finish, which, if you don’t know, is a unique carbon fiber technique where the individual fibers are coated in a diamond finish.

Combine that with the Trevita CCXR’s gargantuan capability to produce over 1000 horsepower and you have a car that is being sold for a cool $5 mil. The only thing Koenigsegg needs to worry about now is finding someone that’s prepared to shell out that kind of money for a shiny and glittering supercar.

why would he wants to do that? He made more money with the Tonight Show while doing what he loves part-time.

I need to win the lotto.

Only 3. Seeing Trevita is white. What they going to call like the black carbon fibre version if they make one?

Plus at U$2.2 million eek.
