The Koenigsegg CC850 has a fake manual transmission and 1385 hp.
borrowed from a Long Island dealer in 2008. . The new CC850 looks to deliver those throwback thrills, with a technical twist never before seen on a production car. This crazy-complex transmission is designed to look and feel like a traditional six-speed manual. There’s a bona fide clutch pedal and a spectacular-looking gated shifter—slender rod, exposed mechanicals, barrel-shaped knob—that’s topped with a Swedish flag, as on the CC8S.
Once shifts are mastered, the CC850 will lurch toward infinity with 1020 lb-feet of torque, even if premium unleaded dings horsepower by 200, to 1,185 horses. Corn-fed with E85, the streamlined car matches the Koenigsegg One:1’s claim-to-fame from 2014, with a power-to-weight ratio of 1385 horses to 1385 kilos, or 3047 pounds. Slender form is aided by a stiff carbon-fiber monocoque with aluminum honeycomb, a safety passenger cell, and a body in carbon fiber with kevlar.
“It’s somewhere in the middle, not as fast on track as the Attack, and a lower top speed than the Absolute,” he says. “It’s all a celebration of analog, but with extreme performance on top.”“It must be the fastest manual car around a racetrack I can think of,” von Koenigsegg says. That is, assuming you accept it as a manual.Twin ceramic ball-bearing turbos reduce volume versus the Jesko’s to eliminate all trace of lag.
