1000 Horsepower? On BioFuel? You’ve got to be kidding…

Koenigsegg is a relatively new supercar producer, releasing a several primetime cars in the past few years, including the 655 HP CC8S, folowed by the 806 HP CCR and finally the American-ized version, the Koenigsegg CCX which complies with US impact regulations as well as lower octane fuel. Still, even being tuned for the U.S., Koenigsegg was still able to push out over 800 HP from the CCX, quite impressive, by any supercar standard, especially that the car weighs 2600 lbs, much less than the Enzo’s 3000 lb curb weight.
So, Koenigsegg already managed to trample the Ferrari Enzo by both power and weight, but that wasn’t enough. Enter the CCXR, which has 1000 horsepower and runs on BioFuel! This incredible power was made possible due to the simple fact that the ethanol in biofuel has the positive side effect of cooling the combustion chambers, as well as a higher octane value, well over 100 RON, which gives the high power.
This is truly an incredible achievement among the supercar elite, especially as the Koenigsegg tips the scale at, yes, only 2600 lbs. A better power-to-weight ratio than the almighty Bugatti Veyron and certainly the environmentally friendliness to impress your mother! What more could you ask for?
