After looking at the pics of the guy in florida with a koenigsegg (see Automotive forum), I did some googling around and found a supposed quote from a Koenigsegg representative saying that the Clarkson drove the CCR in september.

Woot?
 
They said they were going to test it when showing the pic of the CCR on the show. So...
 
CLARKSON DROVE THE CCR?!?!

that means two things: clarkson's ego is making another video or topgear is finally testing the ccr

either way i need that vid when i comes out
 
If Clarkson drove it then it's definitely gonna be on top gear and on top of the carrera ;)
 
OMG I've been waiting for this since the moment those insane
swedes release the CCR! I suppose Clarkson will die driving this
one, considering he almost had a hear attack drivinng the CC...
 
this is hot...
koenigsegg is probably one of the best looking supercars out there....
 
The engine is a 4.7-litre supercharged V8 that produces 601kW (...) In total, the engine weighs just 215kg.

DAMN :|
 
only $1.3 million, might pick one up for weekend driving...

That story (that's a great site BTW, I think haz linked it over in the automotive forums) says the CCR will do a standing quarter mile in 9 seconds. Does that sound plausible? I mean, that's just... woah. Also says they're going to try and top 400kmh later this year (248mph)..

Yes, it's possible. Insane, but possible. John Lingenfelter has built a Viper that does the standing 1/4 in less than 10.
 
The Koenigsegg isn't mentioned there...
 
isn't it the one with 245mph top speed? 400+kmh ?? insane
what about the new Murci?lago GT .. heard it was RWD to reduce weight.. and better tuned V12.. all carbon fiber.. only 25 will be made.. i hope they show that :roll:

From evo Magazine:

To capitalise on the presence of the Murci?lago GT racer currently competing in the FIA GT championship (as a warm-up for Le Mans 2005), Lamborghini is to produce a special road-going version called the Murci?lago R-GT. Just 25 are planned and they're expected to be launched at the end of 2005.

Prototypes are already being assessed at the factory. The most significant difference to the current production car is a change from four-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive, in an effort to save as much weight as possible. The R-GT will use a revised V12 that's grown to 6.5 litres from the 6.2-litre unit in the current car. It will also come with ceramic brake discs as standard and it will be available only with Lambo's new E-Gear paddleshift transmission.

Power increases dramatically. Lamborghini insiders say this new version of the famous V12 is already producing in excess of 745bhp on the dyno but the company is planning to settle on a headline figure of around 650-680bhp for the finished production version of the engine.

One of the R-GT's goals is to beat arch rival Ferrari's performance figures for the Enzo; a 0-60mph time of less than 3.5sec is the current target. As well as the number crunching, Lamborghini wants the R-GT to engage the driver more than the rather aloof Enzo does. Expect a list price of around ?230-240,000.

After these special 25 limited edition R-GT Murci?lagos have been built, expect a revised version of the current road car, called either GT or SV. Regardless of what it's eventually called, the big news is that it will get the R-GT's ballsier engine, but not its rear-drive transmission. However, the existing four-wheel-drive system will be revised. Rather like the Diablo SV of the late '90s, shorter gearing could be an option, along with the ceramic brakes from the R-GT.

While all this is going on, Lamborghini will launch a Spyder version of the super-successful Gallardo. Unlike the clumsy canvas hood on the Murci?lago, the Gallardo is expected to be launched with a fully automatic fabric roof that'll disappear under a tonneau between the cabin and engine cover when opened. And the car's vertical rear window will be electrically operated to act as a wind blocker when the roof's down.

For the 2006 model year (end of '05), Lamborghini will launch an SV version of the fixed-top Gallardo featuring a revised version of the V10, boasting at least 550bhp - it could be as high as 600bhp but the output will depend on the demands of the market and what rivals are doing in the run-up to the car's launch. This is intended to give a boost to coupe sales after the Spyder has been launched.

Meanwhile Lamborghini insiders have confirmed they're working on a possible sports off-roader, though probably nothing quite as extreme as the military-spec, V12-engined LM002 that terrorised sand dunes, high streets and petrol pumps in the late 1980s. If the SUV project progresses (and it's far from a certainty), it will probably share components with other SUVs being developed within the Volkswagen group, of which Lamborghini is a part, don't forget.

The company is also considering a V10-engined coupe along the lines of the four-seater Espada from the 1970s, designed to compete against the likes of the Ferrari 575.

Don't raise your hopes for either the SUV or the coupe - Lamborghini's engineers are so busy developing the core product lines that these tangential projects are very much in the background at the moment.

Hi!

The Murcielago R-GT is a racing car, therefore I doubt it will be tested.
