2008 Koenigsegg CCXR: Broad Arrow’s 2025 Monterey Jet Cen...
As the official auction house of Motorlux, Broad Arrow is excited to return to host the fourth annual Monterey Jet Center Auction. As one of the leading auctions of Monterey Car Week, Broad Arrow welcomed more than 4,000 attendees from across the globe at its 2024 sale. With an unmatched atmosphere fueled by the premier Motorlux event and an audience of passionate collectors, the two-day Jet Center Auction is set to feature exceptional collector cars such as the 2008 Koenigsegg CCXR estimated at $2,750,000 - $3,500,000.
Uncompromising in design, engineering, and intent, the Koenigsegg CCXR is a landmark achievement for both the marque’s own lineage and the broader evolution of the modern hypercar. Introduced in 2007 and based on the CCX—itself a refined iteration of the record-breaking CCR, the CCXR readied the world for a new era where peerless performance and environmental consciousness could coexist. The CCXR was, in every sense, the world’s first “green” supercar, one that could hit nearly 250 mph!
The CCX marked a turning point for the company: it was Koenigsegg's first model crafted to meet worldwide homologation standards, including those of the crucial U.S. market. The CCXR carried that mission forward and retained the signature Koenigsegg feature set, including Koenigsegg’s carbon fiber monocoque chassis reinforced with Kevlar and aluminum, the removable targa roof panel, and the brand’s instantly recognizable dihedral synchro-helix doors. But under the skin, the CCXR represented a fundamental leap forward. At its heart was the same 4.7-liter twin-supercharged V8 that powered the CCX—Koenigsegg’s first motor developed entirely in-house at Ängelholm that replaced the Ford Modular V8 used in earlier models. The CCXR’s version of this powerplant was specially modified to run on renewable E85 and E100 biofuels, though it retained compatibility with standard 98-octane fuel. Adapting the engine for ethanol required upgraded fuel injectors, strengthened fuel lines, revised piston rings, and recalibrated boost settings—all of which elevated the CCXR to a staggering 1,018 horsepower and 679 lb-ft of torque when running on E85. The result was a machine capable of sprinting from zero to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds and achieving a top speed of 248.5 mph—performance figures that placed it firmly in the upper echelon of hypercar performance. In addition to its powertrain enhancements, the CCXR offered aerodynamic upgrades over the CCX, including optional front splitters, revised diffusers, and later variants incorporating more aggressive aero packages derived from Koenigsegg’s growing track development efforts. Its significance was not lost on the broader automotive world. In 2009, Forbes named the CCXR one of the “10 Most Beautiful Cars in History”—an honor shared with icons such as the Ferrari 250 SWB, Jaguar E-Type, McLaren F1, and pre-war masterpieces from Bugatti and Talbot-Lago.
This 2008 Koenigsegg CCXR, finished in Storm Black, is the 41st Koenigsegg produced and is one of just 11 CCXRs in existence. Even more exclusively, it is believed to be one of only three examples in the United States and is one of eight CCXRs equipped with the CIMA six-speed manual transmission—an increasingly rare feature in the hypercar realm. Inside, the two-tone cabin strikes a compelling balance between performance-focused minimalism and bespoke luxury, featuring carbon fiber bucket seats trimmed in black Alcantara with contrasting white Alcantara inserts. These elements extend to the door panels and are complemented by a black leather center console. Carbon fiber is a focal point throughout the cabin, accenting the steering wheel, instrument cluster, dashboard accents, and door sills. This example is further enhanced with the Ghost Package, which equips the car with CCXR Edition front splitter and winglets, a larger carbon fiber rear diffuser, and a dramatic Twin-Deck F1 rear wing. Subtle ghost badging pays tribute to the Swedish Air Force’s famed Ghost Squadron; once based at the decommissioned airfield in Ängelholm that Koenigsegg now calls home.
Chassis number 7041 was originally built as a CCX for the Middle Eastern-market, finished in its current livery with silver nine-spoke wheels and a “Top Gear” style wing. It debuted at the opening of Koenigsegg Abu Dhabi alongside another CCX in October 2007, and shortly thereafter went on display at the Middle East International Motor Show in Dubai. Following its appearances, it returned to Ängelholm. In 2008, the Koenigsegg was shipped to Calgary, Canada and was offered as one of the grand prizes at that year’s Cash and Cars Lottery to benefit the Alberta Cancer Foundation and Canadian Cancer Society. Louie Edgi drew the winning ticket but elected to take a cash prize of $1 million CAD instead; his small hometown of Norman Wells, Northwest Territories, possessed no roads capable of letting the 1,000 horsepower hypercar loose. The car subsequently returned to Ängelholm for storage. In 2009, the car was purchased directly from Koenigsegg and, at the request of its new owner, it was promptly upgraded to “green” specification, fitted with U.S.-spec red side markers and a passenger-side airbag, and given a new Koenigsegg “chronograph” gauge cluster with a mph speedometer. The car arrived in the United States in February 2010 and joined a private Florida-based collection, where it was driven infrequently. Chassis 7041 made a brief but memorable cameo in the closing scene of Fast Five, in which it was portrayed as a car owned by Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges alongside CCXR Special Edition 7072 driven by Tyrese Gibson. In 2012, the car was acquired by the Pinnacle Portfolio collection, joining a superb roster of collector cars. Here, it was maintained by Koenigsegg-certified mechanic Rock Ruby, who had updated the car with suspension components from the Koenigsegg Agera before Pinnacle’s acquisition. The car then transferred via public sale to a private collector in Denver, Colorado, in 2015, and changed hands two years later to a mythical collection in Oregon—once again joining the ranks of an elite group of high-end exotics. Under this owner, it received the coveted $66,500 Ghost Package through O’Gara Coach in Beverly Hills, California, the premier luxury car dealership and Koenigsegg service center in Los Angeles. Around 2020, the CCXR was further enhanced with a custom-fabricated titanium cat-back Boden Autohaus exhaust system, gunmetal wheels, and paint protection film. After accruing most of its mileage through its Oregon-based owner, chassis 7041 briefly sold to Utah-based collector “Supercar Ron” in January 2023, who refitted it with silver nine-spoke wheels, before it was delivered to its current owner during Monterey Car Week that August.
This CCXR has since resided with the consignor in Southern California. Its current caretaker has regularly taken the car to local high-end supercar shows to share the illustrious Koenigsegg with local car enthusiasts. In October 2023, the car received a comprehensive service at Yost Auto Tailoring in Costa Mesa, California, totaling just under $15,000. Here it received its annual Koenigsegg CCX service and was modernized with a JVC radio with Bluetooth capability, back-up camera, hard-wired CTEK battery maintainer, and roof storage case. Yost most recently performed the Koenigsegg’s annual service in December 2024.
CCXR 7041 is now offered with 3,939 miles at the time of cataloging and a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report confirming the car’s well-documented mileage accumulation and service history. Detailed service invoices totaling more than $224,000 from previous owners further describe annual CCXR services and inspections performed on time by various respected shops including European Exotic Center in Tampa, Florida, Canepa in Scotts Valley, California, and Koenigsegg Beverly Hills.
Offered with known provenance, rare factory options, tasteful upgrades, and a documented history of expert care, this CCXR represents an exceptionally rare chance to acquire one of Koenigsegg’s most significant early builds with its desirable six-speed manual transmission. The CCXR is unapologetically retro and avant-garde at the same time—a car that looks ahead with advanced engineering and performance while delivering a raw, analog driving experience seldom found in the modern hypercar era.
From rare classics to modern supercars, 170 collector cars will be offered during this exciting two-day event. Visit broadarrowauctions.com to browse the full catalog and register to bid.
