Koenigsegg CC850 was a powerfull and very modern vision of what the automaker calls the ultimate hypercar

~New HYPERCAR~ Recently to mark its 20th anniversary, Swedish hypercar specialist Koenigsegg reimagined its first production car, the Koenigsegg CC8S as a powerful and very modern vision of what it calls the ultimate hypercar which was later labeled as the Koenigsegg CC850.

This is more of a tribute to the car than a recreation or a 'restomod', as it is more closely related, mechanically to the Jesko, Gemera, and Regera hypercars. Recently the company combining element designs of the Koenigsegg CC8S with cues taken from those newer models mentioned above.

Besides it also mentions tangible features taken from those pioneering 'megacar' launched by the Swedish manufacturer back in the 2002 including Koenigsegg's typical circular brake light cluster, teledial wheels and 'synchrohelix' door opening system.

The newest Koenigsegg hypercar is built around a carbon monocoque, shrouded in carbon/Kevlar body panels completed with an aluminum honeycomb fuel tank, so it's no surprise that the Koenigsegg CC850 weighs only 1,385 kg (half a ton lighter than the Bugatti Chiron). This should make it one of the fastest combustion cars in production although the brand has not detailed its performance figures.

The interior is similarly crafted, adopting a minimalist aesthetic modeled on Koenigsegg's earliest cars, with an open gate gearshift, analog gauge cluster behind a function-free circular steering wheel and plenty of exposed carbon fiber.

Then the drivetrain that it carries namely a variant of the company's latest 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine which is said to be capable of supplying up to 1,385 hp of power and 1,022 lb.ft of torque, so makes the Koenigsegg CC850 completely different.

Then Koenigsegg explained that the engine without a flywheel is drained for optimal oil distribution in extreme driving situations and can run on ethanol E85 synthetic fuel. So it is not surprising then the Christian von Koenigsegg owned company claims that's the most fast responsive and rotation machine ever. 

Furthermore while on its redlines of 8,500 rpm, the Swedish brand promises, it would be gave a truly unparalleled otherworldly aural sensation. This is something none other car manufacturer has ever offered, but Christian von Koenigsegg wanted to see how far their company could be broke such a kind of auto industry norms.

In particular, although it is said that the Koenigsegg CC850 was not created to break Jesko's top speed record, but to improve performance and offer the highest level of driver satisfaction and conviniences. So this latest Koenigsegg hypercar can be used as proof that the Swedish company have high standards in the car development. 

As we could be found on the Koenigsegg CC850, where the car gets uncommon features called the Koenigsegg Engage Shift System (KESS) which combines an automatic and manual transmission in one box. Actually it was a multi-clutch 9-speed automatic technology which is quite found and common used in the automotive world.

Maybe many people imagine it as an automatic-manual transmission system that can be used to work consecutively as needed. But somehow Koenigsegg could be changed the automatic transmission system into a 6-speed manual whose individual gear ratios depend on what drive mode is used. It's just that the Swedish automaker company briefly explains in appearance that this system is a manual pedal shifter with an automatic working mechanism.

So far, Koenigsegg did not reveal details of how this transmission works, the Swedish company only said that the shifter and clutch pedals are connected to a special hydraulic system which provides thrust to the automatic mechanism. Well with such an engine power bursting of 1,385 hp, the automaker company claimed that the Koenigsegg CC850 is a production car with the fastest and most powerful manual transmission the world has ever seen.

The Koenigsegg CC850 will only be produced in 50 units (to commemorate the 50th birthday of Christian von Koenigsegg, the company's founder). But there are likely to be only a handful of units available globally, and for the US market reportedly the latest Koenigsegg CC850 hypercar is priced at $3.65 millions (approx Rp. 53.8 billions).
