A Look at the Rare Koenigsegg Trevita CCXR

In the latest installment of Jay Leno’s Garage, he meets with Christian von Koenigsegg, the designer of the insanely powerful Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita. Leno takes the supercar for a test-drive, only touching on the 1,018-horsepower available. Christian gives Leno a detailed walkthrough of his creation, with a in-depth look at the twin supercharged 4.8-liter V8 engine that runs on ethanol. The Swedish term trevita translates to “three whites” which is a reference to the car’s rare white carbon fiber body and that there are only three of these automobiles in existence. The Koenigsegg Trevita CCXR is a perfect marriage of design and performance.
