FactHigh production costs limited the CC8S, Koenigsegg's first car, to just six built, two of them right-hand drive.
The CC8S was Koenigsegg's first production car, developed from the CC prototype over eight years and first shown in pre-production form at the 2000 Paris Auto Show. It is a two-seat targa with a removable roof stored under the bonnet, a Kevlar-reinforced carbon-fibre semi-monocoque, and the company's first dihedral synchro-helix doors. Its supercharged 4.7-litre DOHC V8, based on the Ford Modular design, makes 655 hp at 6,800 rpm and drives the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual by CIMA. High production costs meant only 6 were built, 2 of them right-hand drive, before the CCR replaced it in 2004.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

This was the year the Virage's automatic finally got a fourth gear — Aston swapped in a four-speed automatic to replace the original three-speed unit for the 1993 model year.
Audi's first drop-top since 1959 barely made a dent stateside: the V6 Cabriolet sold just 5,445 units across its entire five-year run in the US market.
This Azure's V8 exists because of a corporate grudge: when VW won the fight for Bentley, BMW threatened to cut off engine supply — forcing VW to rebuild the 6.75-litre V8 itself, twin-turbos and all.
Bentley never even considered a roll-bar for the Azure's convertible top — they just reinforced the chassis instead and let the design stay pure.
The F8 Spider's folding hardtop raises or lowers in just 14 seconds, and you can do it on the move, at up to 28 mph.
Bentley hid a charging nook for iPads between the rear seats of the Continental GT Convertible — a 2015 update that quietly conceded the future was tablets, not just wood veneer.
Bentley built just 710 of these second-generation Supersports worldwide, coupe and convertible combined — one of the rarest W12 Bentleys ever made.
The Auburn Twelve's V12 outlived the car by decades — its engine design became the basis for American LaFrance fire truck powerplants that stayed in service into the 1950s.
