Koenigsegg’s latest super product is inspired by the CC8S, the first product of the Swedish car company.
 |
| At the Monterey Car Week 2022 event, Koenigsegg Automotive AB officially introduced the brand’s newest super product – the Koenigsegg CC850. |
 |
| The CC850 was produced to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the launch of Koenigsegg’s first commercial product – the CC8S. The character “50” marks the age of the brand’s founder, Mr. Christian von Koenigsegg. |
  |
| The design language of the CC850 bears the nostalgic features of the CC8S series. However, the structure and technology of this car model is based on the Koenigsegg Jesko megacar model. |
 |
| The layout of exterior details has little change compared to the original CC8S. The 3-chamber headlight system remains the same but has been upgraded to LED technology. |
 |
| The body of the car does not have many embossed lines and strong cuts like Jesko. The CC850 has a set of wheels similar to the CC8S, with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. |
 |
| Like all other Koenigsegg models, the CC850 has the signature synchro-helix dihedral opening structure and a removable hardtop. |
 |
| Interior overview of the Koenigsegg CC850 is not much different from the Jesko. The most prominent feature is still the classic style steering wheel and dashboard design. |
 |
| Standing outside the trend of digitalizing the dashboard, Koenigsegg still chooses analogue technology with the rev counter, speedometer, fuel indicator and temperature for the CC850. |
 |
| The car has a main color tone of red – black. Many details on the car are made from high-quality materials such as carbon fiber and Alcantara. |
 |
| To optimize the weight at 1,385 kg, Koenigsegg equipped the CC850 with Bucket Seat sports seats and a carbon fiber monocoque chassis. |
 |
| The car shares the same 5.0L twin-turbo V8 engine from the Jesko model, with a maximum capacity of 1,405 horsepower and maximum torque of 1,385 Nm when using E85 gasoline. |
 |
| However, this power level is reduced to 1,202 horsepower when using standard gasoline. CC850 achieves a power/volume ratio equivalent to the Koenigsegg One:1 model. |
 |
| The most impressive point on the CC850 is the 9-speed multi-clutch Engage Shift System (ESS), replacing the Light Speed Transmission (LST) technology on the Jesko. |
 |
| With manual mode, the driver will operate similarly through the gear lever, clutch, accelerator and brake pedals. However, the car will only operate at the lowest 6 gears. |
 |
| When switching to automatic mode, CC850 can use all 9 gear levels. Koenigsegg announced that this is the world’s first manual transmission technology that can change the transmission ratio of each gear level according to the driving mode. |
 |
| The Swedish car company only produces a limited number of 50 Koenigsegg CC850s. The specific price of this super product has not yet been announced by Koenigsegg. |
