Koenigsegg CCX, Expensive Sport Car


Koeningseeg CCX
$ 695,000
When Koenigsegg first hit the scene in 2001, critics and enthusiasts were amazed by what was possible -- from a Swedish car. That qualification was always thrown in as if geographically devaluing the accomplishment, like “best Cuban skier” or “skinniest Wisconsinite.” There’s none of that with the CCX. It’s simply amazing in its own right. Just a tad behind the SSC Ultimate Aero and Bugatti Veyron in performance, and with a top speed of around 245 mph, the CCX pulls away from both with arguably better styling inside and out. You get what you pay for: Supremacy that happens to be Swedis.
