Koenigsegg CCR
Koenigsegg is a well-known hypercar manufacturer today. But in the early 2000s, the company had only just started to make a name for itself. One of the first cars Koenigsegg ever produced was the CCR introduced in 2004 (via Car Throttle).
The CCR proved to be a very important model in the company’s history. Since it was only sold in 14 examples, it broke a few speed records and showed the car world that the Koenigsegg company was a force to be reckoned with. However, under the hood of the CCR was an American power plant. Ford’s modular 4.6-liter V8 engine propelled the car. This monstrous engine was was thoroughly tuned and supercharged by Koenigsegg’s experts to produce 817 hp.
