The CC850 is a contemporary reimagination of the Koenigsegg CC8S. It is also a dual tribute for Koenigsegg, celebrating 20 years of vehicle production, as well as the 50th birthday of the company’s founder and namesake, Christian Von Koenigsegg. As such, CC850 production will be limited to just 50 cars worldwide.The CC850 is an homage to the single most meaningful car in Koenigsegg history,” said Christian von Koenigsegg. “The CC8S put us on the map and made us successful – and celebrating 20 years of production, alongside my 50th birthday, felt like the right time to reveal the CC850 to appreciate our roots.”The CC850’s mission is to deliver the purest, most fundamentally joyful driving experience of any Koenigsegg so far. While visually the CC8S inspiration is apparent, the drivetrain, engine, and capabilities of the CC850 are anything but vintage.The CC850’s 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 was engineered and constructed entirely in-house. As seen in the Jesko, this V8 does not feature a flywheel and is, therefore, the most responsive, fast-revving engine possible. The visceral experience and accompanying aural signature are otherworldly and incomparable.Performance is staggering—the CC850’s 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 delivers 1,185 hp on gasoline or 1,385 hp on E85, as well as 1,385 nm (1,020 lb-ft) of torque.As with the iconic Koenigsegg ONE:1 released in 2014, the CC850 also achieves a 1:1 power to weight ratio with 1385 hp and a 1385 kg curb weight.What makes the Koenigsegg CC850 truly unique and driver-focused is its revolutionary, world-first Engage Shift System (ESS). The ESS allows for different gear ratios depending on the driving mode, providing tailored experiences based on road or track use. But that’s not what truly sets ESS apart.Based on Koenigsegg’s Light Speed Transmission (LST), ESS, paired with a clutch pedal, is an adaptable, multi-ratio, 6-speed manual transmission that also can run as a super-fast, smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic. The ability for the driver to seamlessly choose between an unadulterated manual transmission or more laid-back automatic shifting is unprecedented. It places the CC850 in a class by itself. The gated ESS shifter is a work of mechanical art and is reminiscent of Swiss chronographs— intricate, aesthetically beautiful, and completely functional. Great care has been taken to make the ESS one of the most engaging manuals ever created. Additionally, the Swedish flag crowns the manual shifter as it did in the original manual CC8S.The exterior showcases sleek Nordic Koenigsegg design, telephone-dial style rims, and triple taillights, all of which draw inspiration from the earliest Koenigsegg models. The interior boasts a symmetrical, minimal design aesthetic akin to the CC8S. This symmetry makes adaptations for left- and right-hand drive versions practical. The round steering wheel, the open-gate shifter with exposed mechanical components, and the analog Chrono cluster showcase the precision work that underpins the CC850.And of course, as a Koenigsegg, the CC850 features the iconic detachable hardtop, the synchrohelix door system, the Autoskin function – and, naturally, it can run on renewable fuels.The original CC8S was a showstopper. It not only broke records immediately and won awards— it set new industry standards and put Koenigsegg, a small, determined Swedish Megacar company, on the map. The CC850 was not created to break Jesko’s track records or set new high-water marks for top speed, but to offer the highest level of driver satisfaction and enjoyment with the exhilarating performance for which Koenigsegg is renowned.The CC850 is a homage to the Koenigsegg CC8S from 2002 with twice the power.The latest hypercar from the record-breaking Swedish speed demons is designed for pleasure, not breaking records. It’s been 20 years since we saw the first Koenigsegg delivered to its owner, and to celebrate, the Swedish supercar maker has made a new car – the CC850. 2022 is also the year the firm’s founder Christian von Koenigsegg turns 50, so there will be only 50 CC850s made. From the outside, it’s clear the CC850 has taken plenty of design influence from the CC8S. We can see typical Koenigsegg features such as the celestial wheels, wraparound windscreen, huge side intakes, and of course, the look-at-me ’synchrohelix’ doors. The interior is also a bit of a throwback as the CC850 offers an open-gate aqwgearshifter (with an automatic mode, but more on that later) and an analog gauge cluster. The CC8S’s signature rotary dial switches on the dash were deemed too retro for the CC850 as we can see a portrait touchscreen instead. There’s also plenty of exposed carbon fiber and a pair of very thin bucket seats. Despite the nods to the CC8S, underneath the CC850 is much more akin to the firm’s latest Gemara, Jesko, and Regera supercars (or ‘mega cars’ according to Koenigsegg). A 5.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 produces 1,366bhp, over twice the output of the CC8S. There’s also 1385Nm of torque available. The flat-plane crank, the dry-dumped engine can run on synthetic fuels and doesn’t use a flywheel to improve responsiveness.
The open gate is more than just for show as we can see three pedals in the driver’s footwell. The ‘Engage Shift System’ as Koenigsegg calls it can change the ratios of the six-speed gearbox to offer varying performance according to which drive mode you’re in. The automatic transmission features nine gears for a more relaxing driving experience.Koenigsegg has achieved a curb weight of 1,385kg with the CC850, thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber and Kevlar body panels in its monocoque. We’re yet to receive performance figures but expect a sub-three-second 0-62mph time and a top speed well above 200mph, making it a real rival for another supercar with a manual gearbox – the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50. Despite an expected price tag in the millions, the combination of rarity and some rather exquisite details means the CC850 has already sold out. Koenigsegg has produced some right-hand drive versions of its car in the past so we could potentially see a small allocation of the 50 units coming to the UK. While Koenigsegg isn’t disclosing the price of the CC850, the figure is very likely in the millions, judging by the Swedish supercar maker’s previous offerings. There’s good news if you have that much money to spare because the company is boosting the production number to 70 units, rather than the original 50-vehicle assembly plan.”The response to the CC850 is overwhelming. Producing an additional 20 on top of the planned 50 CC850s is still not even close to demand, but it gives us the chance to consider the brand loyalists to a larger degree, while also welcoming a small portion of new owners,” said Christian von Koenigsegg in the announcement.The first 50 examples of the CC850 already have buyers. Judging by von Koenigsegg’s statement, it doesn’t sound like the other 20 are going to be available very long.Christian von Koenigsegg is now 50, which is the reason for the original production figure. The additional 20 commemorate the automaker’s two decades in business. Before deciding to increase the number, the company consulted with long-term clients to see how they felt about making more units of the CC850.
