The Koenigsegg CC is an exotic sports car offered by the Swedish car company Koenigsegg.

The suspension system used by the car is regarded by most experts as being one of the best in the world, surpassing a number of other exotic sports cars.
The vehicle uses a powerful engine which is supercharged, and can produce a torque of up to 553 pounds. This car was designed for the race track, and has a high level of performance. Though it is a supercar by nature, the CC 8S has an interior which can be described as being the lap of luxury.

The Koenigsegg CC 8S was introduced in 2002, and was priced at about 470,000 euros. It is usually blue in color, and utilizes a design which is aerodynamic.

It is lighter in weight than the Ferrari Enzo, and it is slightly faster as well. Despite this, some have complained that the V8 engine based on Ford models is too low quality for an exotic sports car, but this has greatly helped reduce the cost of the CC 8S.
