Koenigsegg has built a new car that looks like its oldest one. Welcome to the CC850: a 1,385hp hypercar with a very complicated manual/automatic gearbox, all clothed in the timeless design of Koenigsegg’s first ever production car. That’s the CC8S, providing ample proof of its ageless design concept because it looks just as fresh today as it did back in 2002. This new car celebrates 20 years since it first took flight, as well as the boss' 50th birthday.

The CC850 achieves a 1:1 power to weight ratio with 1385hp (on E85) and a 1385 kg kerb weight. Oh, and did we forget to mention the perfect 1385 Nm @ 4800rpm for a full house?

Join Top Gear magazine's Jack Rix and Christian von Koenigsegg for a guided tour around number 1 of 70 under the roof of the company's new factory.
