Koenigsegg CCGT1

The Koenigsegg CCGT was built purely for racing, but never got to fulfill its destiny. The Koenigsegg CCGT1 is its modern tribute, fully homologated and road-legal worldwide in standard form.

A Tribute Made Real
The CCGT1 takes the award-winning CC850 base to new heights, with racing-derived aerodynamics, a sequential shifter operating the Light Speed Transmission, and twin-turbo V8 power producing 1600 hp on E85 fuel. For the first time, Koenigsegg is also offering an optional factory-designed track package that takes the CCGT1’s circuit performance beyond anything we have ever offered. Once fitted, the package transforms the CCGT1 from a world-class dynamic daily driver into Koenigsegg’s fastest-ever circuit performer.

CCGT1 Origins
The Koenigsegg CCGT’s story is as legendary as it is unfortunate. Conceived as a GT1 competition car, it paired a lightweight 1000 kg chassis with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Koenigsegg V8. From its first laps, the CCGT showed outstanding promise, posting competitive times despite running 100 hp below the class maximum. Before it could race, changes to FIA regulations made Koenigsegg ineligible for the championship. The program was canceled, and only one CCGT was ever built.

Today, the original car has been restored by the Koenigsegg Legends Division and is preparing to compete in the GT1 Historic class. The CCGT1 is an entirely new car, created as a modern tribute to the original CCGT and the racing life it never had.

A road-legal, track-ready endurance machine
The CCGT1 combines exceptional road performance with uncompromising track capability. Nearly every body panel has been redesigned to increase downforce and improve cooling. Its active rear wing automatically adjusts between low-drag, air-brake, and high-downforce modes. A large front splitter and sculpted underfloor keep the car aerodynamically balanced, while integrated NACA ducts provide cooling during extended track use.

The CCGT1 generates up to 800 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. Consistent aerodynamic performance under braking, cornering and acceleration gives the driver confidence at the limits of grip. The CCGT1 is powered by Koenigsegg’s proven twin-turbo V8, producing 1280 hp on pump fuel and 1600 hp on E85 biofuel. A bespoke roof scoop and enhanced cooling systems ensure consistent performance during extended track use.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through the compact, ultra-fast Light Speed Transmission. Drivers can choose the standard sequential shifter, designed to deliver rapid shifts with an authentic mechanical feel, or the optional six-speed Engage Shift System. Both systems offer paddle shifting, while the ESS adds a gated manual shifter, a clutch pedal, and a fully automatic mode.

Ghost Fiber
First introduced with the Trevita in 2009, Koenigsegg’s white fiber returns with the CCGT1 as Ghost Fiber. Developed from the ground up, its crystal white proprietary fiber and carbon matrix combine striking beauty with greater strength, sound
deadening properties and reduced weight.

Track Package
In standard form, the CCGT1 is a fully road-legal megacar with impeccable pedigree and outstanding on-track performance. For those who want to take the experience further, Koenigsegg offers its first-ever, factory-designed track package, intended to transform the CCGT1 into our fastest-ever on-track performer.

The optional track package transforms the CCGT1 into Koenigsegg’s fastest track car yet. It includes a carbon roll cage, HANS-compatible racing seats, race-grade fire suppression, race-grade exhaust, air jacks, track-focused suspension and brakes, enhanced aerodynamics, and dedicated wheels with track-specific tires. Delivered separately, the package can be installed or removed by any Koenigsegg Certified Dealer. Owners also receive access to exclusive CCGT1 track days with factory support, allowing them to explore the car’s full potential in the spirit of the Ghost Squadron.

Interior
The CCGT1 interior brings everything you expect from a Koenigsegg interior: materials and finishes of the highest order, comfort, and heightened levels of flexibility, functionality, and safety.

The CCGT1 cockpit is designed for focused driving with minimal distraction. Essential information is presented clearly, while the Koenigsegg Sequential Shifter sits close to the steering wheel for fast, effortless gear changes. Drivers can also choose the Engage Shift System, combining a gated six-speed manual shifter with nine-speed automatic operation. Paddle shifting is standard with both configurations.

Lightweight carbon fiber seats and six-point harnesses provide support and security. For track use, optional racing seats and a fire suppression system are available. The touchscreen infotainment system delivers full functionality without compromising focus.
