The Koenigsegg CCX posted a new record lap time this past Sunday on Britain’s Top Gear TV show. The car is now the fasted vehicle ever piloted around the track, displacing the Zonda F. The record was set during show’s second test of the car. The first test — a few weeks prior — resulted in “The Stig” losing control of the CCX and crashing off Top Gear’s famous test track. The car’s unpredictable handling was attributed to the lack of a rear wing, which is generally standard equipment on any supercar. Koenigsegg fitted the CCX with a wing, and the results were much better. Video and pictures after the jump… (http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/05/30/koenigsegg-ccx-takes-top-gears-top-spot/)

welcome dude. didnt really look like a big spoiler tho. but damn did it change alot!

[ADM]

If u put one thats too big, it will ram the back down too hard and the rear wont turn that easily. I remember they said they will send the car back to Koenigsegg to install a spoiler. They must have run some tests before installing this one.

yeah. took em 3 weeks to get a prefect one on it. not too harsh and not too loose

Imagine it had twin turbochargers. It would hit 1000bhp easy. But the only problem is it might drop the boost easily in hard turns. Amazing car none the less.
