The Koenigsegg CC850 is a limited production mid-engine sports car manufactured by Swedish automobile manufacturer Koenigsegg. It was unveiled on the 19th of August 2022 at Pebble Beach, California,[1] as a homage to the CC8S. Built to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the first production CC8S, the CC850 was originally limited to 50 units to celebrate the company's founder Christian von Koenigsegg's 50th birthday,[2] however due to increased demand it was announced six days later on the 25th of August 2022 that an additional 20 units would be built.[3]

Specifications

Despite the shared name, the CC850 doesn't share any hardware with the original CC8S and is based on the Koenigsegg Jesko.[4] Similar to the Jesko, the CC850 shares the same multilink front and rear suspension, which consists of double wishbones, hydraulic and gas-hydraulic shock absorbers, with Triplex dampers at the rear.[5] Steering is rack and pinion assisted, and Koenigsegg's proprietary 9-speed Light Speed Transmission sends power to the rear wheels. The CC850 also has a feature called the Engage Shifter System, which allows the driver to simulate six gears of manual shifting with a physical clutch pedal as opposed to paddle shifting.[1] With this system Christian von Koenigsegg claims that the car "must be the fastest manual car around a racetrack I can think of".[1] The engine is also borrowed from the Jesko, albeit with smaller turbochargers, resulting in a power output of 1,185 PS (1,169 hp; 872 kW) @ 7,800 rpm on regular fuel, or 1,385 PS (1,366 hp; 1,019 kW) on E85.[4] Peak torque stands at 1,385 N⋅m (1,022 lb⋅ft) @ 4,800 rpm.[1] The forged aluminium wheels (20" x 9.5" front, 21" 12.25" rear)[1] are shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (265/35R-20 front, and 325/30R-21 rear).[4] Stopping power is provided by a set of 410 mm (16.1 in) 6-piston calipers on the front wheels and 395 mm (15.6 in) 4-piston calipers on the rear.[4]
