Same car as the CCX[edit]

The CCXR is not a replacement, it's only a CCX adapted to use biofuel and under that quality it shouldn't have it's own page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.158.154.227 (talk) 23:24, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It only takes a read of the article to see that everything is the same content from the CCX article, it's exactly the same car, in fact all the changes done to it, or to be more specific, the engine, are mentioned within the first paragraph and can easily fit on the CCX page, it wouldn't even make the subsection much bigger that what it is now, I've seen on the talk pages the proposal of a merger but the more recent post are some years old and it seems it never happened so I'll propose the merger of the CCXR to CCX, opinions?

Hey, someone there? what are your opinions on the merge, the R editions are no different than the normal ones other than being able to use biofuel. Mike.BRZ (talk) 06:36, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bugatti & biofuel[edit]

i'm pretty sure that if bugatti used biofuel, they could get more horses outta their car. (Sadartha 19:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

If the bugatti used ethanol, it would be a lot more faster then a biofuel Bugatti Veyron. (Ace1875 13:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]

yeh but would you really rather have a heavy complicated bugatti, or a light nimble simple (and better looking) Koenigsegg? not to meantion the Koenigsegg is cheaper --PAPO-1990 (talk) 16:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Top Gear crash[edit]

Top Gear crashed one http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2007/05/stories/05/1.html—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 196.209.164.133 (talk • contribs) 14:44, 15 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

No, it was a CCX, not a CCXR Sijambo (talk) 11:21, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Performance numbers[edit]

in the performance/engine section it was mentioned 1064hp, but all the source links mention 1018hp. Can anyone confirm 1064hp?—The preceding comment was added by Ace1875 18:35, 15 August 2007.

The article is not properly sourced at present, so there's no telling where the other number came from. If the links (particularly the official site) say 1018, we should go with that.~ Dusk Knight 02:58, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The number came from an issue of top gear magazine, the guy got a tour of the factory and saw one on the in house dyno reading 1064bhp and it wasn't even redlining yet, it was a while back when they did a special on environmentally friendly cars with one for each letter of the alphabet and "K is for Koenigsegg" and from what I have heard power at the flywheel is probably around 1200bhp (but there's no place to reference 'cause I was simply told by a guy who sells them) --PAPO-1990 (talk) 16:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fastest Production Car Claim[edit]

This should not be listed as the fastest production car, the speed has not been verified. Koenigsegg claims 259mpg. The SSC Ultimate Aero TT claims over 275mph but this has not been verified either, a top speed of 257mph has been verified for the Ultimate Aero TT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.193.34.10 (talk) 12:42, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the Vector WX-3 was claimed to do 250 mph but this does not make it so ....^{lɘɘяɘM яɘɫƨɐƮ} 12:45, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Koenigsegg CCXR be merged into Koenigsegg CCX. I think that the content in the Koenigsegg CCXR article can easily be explained in the context of Koenigsegg CCX, and the Koenigsegg CCXR article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of Koenigsegg CCX will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. The CCXR is just a CCX with another engine. The same goes for Trevita wich at least should be merged into CCXR. Sijambo (talk) 09:30, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
