The Grey American CCX Repainted!










This CCX was being transported to LA and it then turned out that it was repainted to star in a movie.

Could it be Redline?

yes it is, when I visited Koengisegg they showed us the videoclip of the yellow Egg fighting with the enzo.
The Egg won the scene and the Enzo people didnt like it

Konegisegg will also be a star in upcoming redline 2

Re: The Grey American CCX Repainted!

Haha, I think it's quite obvious that an Enzo couldn't stand a chance against a Koenigsegg

Great!

Re: The Grey American CCX Repainted!

That car is so sick! I don't think redline will be a good movie...more like a good rental with very sexy eyecandy (cars and chicks)

Well technically yes & no, so far the only test for the CCX revealed 0-160 km/h in 7.7 seconds but that test done by EVO was done partly in the wet. The fastest time for a Koenigsegg i've seen is the one tested by Sport Auto (CCR)

It took 3.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h, while the Enzo takes under 3.6 seconds. In that same test the CCR did 0-160 km/h in 6.8 seconds and so far the fastest time for the Enzo is 6.6. However the CCR claws it back with a 0-200 km/h time of 9.6 seconds versus the Enzo's 10.2 second time (Auto Motor und Sport)

Never realized how much the CCX looks like CGT, nice!

Re: The Grey American CCX Repainted!

I think the relationship between Redline and I is going to be a love/hate. I'll love the action sequences, but I'm gonna hate seeing a real CGT getting wrecked :'(

I'm sorry, but pictures like this are kinda hard to swallow for me.


But I'm also the guy who refuses to go to Wrecked Exotics. I mean... maybe it's because I don't have the money to afford these limited edition cars, and maybe it's because I hope someday to actually own those limited edition cars, but for the love of God, don't blow one up. Someone HAND BUILT that car. It's like spitting on a Picasso, in my book.

Re: The Grey American CCX Repainted!

Are you serious..^^ I had no idea they blew a real Carrera GT up.



As you said that's like destroying art work!!!

That's not a CGT in that picture... that's a Diablo. But yes, they do hit up a CGT
