This Koenigsegg CCXR is the ONE TO BUY!

Now this is a car, the monstrous Koenigsegg CCXR with a sequential gearbox! It's one of only two in existence, for sale at Esser Automotive in Germany, but what could be better than taking it for a drive in convoy with the Koenigsegg Agera X too?! Hard to believe it's already 15 years old, but tough to beat for sheer awesome drama!

The Koenigsegg CCXR was the 'final' variant of the CC models, with a 4.8l twin supercharged V8 pushing out over 1,000hp and with a top speed of 250mph or 400km/h. However, this particular car, number #38, stands out as it is one of only 3 Koenigseggs ever made (2 remaining) with a sequential gearbox. Running up through the gears like a racecar with pushes forward or pulls back, it's an absolute workout to drive but an immensely rewarding experience as a result.

Having recently attended Esser Automotive's launch event for the new Jesko Absolut and Gemera, this time we're back at the showroom where it's absolute hypercar heaven! The amazing dislpay is lined with multiple Koenigseggs and plenty more including my McLaren Senna too. After a quick look around, we have to shuffle some cars about to pull out the two for the drive, plus a Polaris buggy too.

Having recently driven numerous Koenigsegg cars including the Agera RS, Regera, and plenty of the older cars, this particular CCXR is something a bit different thanks to the gearbox. It's incredible to think it's already 15 years old and becoming a classic, but yet Koenigsegg were such pioneers to have already made something that could do what this can.

A huge thanks to Esser Automotive for an incredible and memorable day!

Thanks for watching, Tim

I've been lucky to drive all the Eggs, from the newest models including multiple Regeras and Agera RS' (no full Jesko/Gemera yet), going back to the early cars, and it's always amazing to see how pioneering these cars have been. But this CCXR at Esser Automotive is now 15 years old, yet it could still do 250mph (400 km/h) and when it comes to sheer drama and excitement of a car, there isn't really much that can come close! This has to be the one to buy....

I still remember when eggs first started hitting the scene. Absolutely loved and haven’t stopped loving these amazing works of art

Putting your foot down and realising how quick it revs and how quickly you need to shift at 14:48, as it felt like the boost hit, made me smile... as the egg is a totally different ball game altogether!

[bradpittman]

You can hear when you got on the d restricted when you cracked the throttle a little. Legend. Badass car.

[brodyperkins]

This thing is so raw! I’ve never seen such car that has everything you want in a road car, but has a very mechanic race car feel. It’s amazing!

[Skillzvideos]

I fell in love with koenigsegg after watching the need for speed movie, where they raced three agera R’s been a fan of the brand ever since

[hiphop]

Cool film as always bro. Your fan for years.

[ayolamditshwa]

Lol. At 16:02, When shmee said that, "You have to work so hard to drive this car!", i felt that in my bank account.

I’ve the privilege to live only 50 KMS from Esser Automotive and in July I went buy to see a McLaren they had for sale.
I arrived at an industrial site, wasn’t sure this was the place and entered the building.
They were really really very nice, real petrol heads and they showed me the entire showroom as well as the workshop.
Although they’re situated in the automotive heaven, they take time to talk to you. No attitude, really 👍👍👍
