Even hypercar makers aren’t afraid to look backward from time to time. Last year, Koenigsegg unveiled a new model called that CC850 that was based on its very first vehicle, the CC8S. The two cars share a similar design and shape, but the new version has a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 derived from the one featured in the Jesko. The new mill is potent to say the least, producing 1,385 horses when the car is running on E85. Thanks to that, the car can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 280 mph. The car has proven to be so popular, that the company decided to build 20 more after the initial run immediately sold out.
