Koenigsegg has brought a car that never raced into the modern era with the CCGT1, a limited hypercar revealed at The Quail during Monterey Car Week in August, according to CarBuzz and The Supercar Blog.
A tribute to a cancelled project
The Supercar Blog reported that the car is a tribute to the Koenigsegg CCGT Le Mans race car. Koenigsegg had planned to enter the top GT1 class at Le Mans in the 2000s, but by the time a prototype called the CCGT GT1 Competition Coupe was ready, the project was cancelled because of changes to homologation rules. The official teaser for the new car carried the caption 'Unfinished business. A time capsule waiting to be opened.'
Numbers and naming
Before the reveal, sources told The Supercar Blog the car might be called CCGT+ and could be limited to just 30 units. These details were reported as likely rather than confirmed, and the final name used at the reveal was CCGT1. The excerpts reviewed do not provide the car's power output or price.
Why it matters
Koenigsegg's Monterey reveals have become a regular highlight of the show, and CarBuzz called this one of the wildest yet. The car shows how small manufacturers can turn historic racing ideas into very limited road cars for collectors.
