Exclusive! Koenigsegg working on CCGT Le Mans car-inspired hypercar

Koenigsegg has lined up two new hypercars for next year. One of them will be a tribute to the CCGT Le Mans race car.

In the late 2000s, Koenigsegg was planning on entering the top-tier GT1 class at Le Mans. The company built a one-off prototype called the CCGT GT1 Competition Coupe. However, the project was cancelled due to changes in the homologation requirements.

The single prototype lived on as a reminder of the brand’s aspiration to challenge the likes of the Aston Martin DC9, Chevrolet Corvette C6 and the Ferrari 550 at one of the greatest races on Earth.

As a tribute to the CCGT, Koenigsegg is now planning a special edition hypercar. According to our sources, it will be called CCGT+ and will be limited to just 30 units.

In 2022, Koenigsegg revealed the CC850, which draws inspiration from the CC8S. The CCGT was a track version of the CCX, the successor to the CC8S. If we were to hazard a guess, the new CCGT+ might be a track-focused version of the CC850.
