My favorite car ever. Yes, ever.

Today’s post is going to be fairly simple, and entirely for my viewing pleasure. Oh, right… I mean your viewing pleasure. Well, mostly for me but it ought to benefit you, too.

My favorite car in the world.

We all see a car we like. The car we like. “That’s my favorite car ever!” we tend to exclaim… At just about anything that we like really well at any one point in time. But how often do we truly mean it?

There comes a time when you just know. Kinda like how you just know when you find that one person who you manage to tolerate when all others would be intolerable. You can’t quite explain why it is that way… Because it just is. You simply know.

This car, to me, is the car. I doubt I will ever own one… I sure hope I get to see one. I would die for the opportunity to drive one.

My favorite car is….

The Koenigsegg CCX, in all variations. *heart*!

Quick Facts:

4.7L V8 in cast aluminum

17.5 PSI via two superchargers

~806 horsepower

Top Speed – 245+ MPH

9.9 second standing quarter mile time

0 – 62 MPH in 3.2 seconds

31 meter braking distance (100 to 0 km/h)

3.9″ ground clearance

Dry weight of 2,601 pounds

Most depressing of all, perhaps: $540,000+ to own a new CCX

Best part of all –

Bring on the car porn beautiful CCX pictures…. Sigh. So perfect.

So beautiful, so perfect! (To me, anyhow.)

Even the base CCX is amazing to me.

I've found few cars that look great from any angle like the CCX.

And then there is the even more amazing CCXR... Yum.

I'm in love with the blue on this one....

Even the gauges look insanely cool!

I could go on and on and on forever…. I just absolutely am in love with this car!!!

Well, I think the best I’ll ever manage is maybe seeing it in person… I would love that, haha.

You could buy it and live in it?

Holy wow. Gauges = insane awesome.

And yeah, I too would love to drool all over one of these and lick it with my camera’s lens.

Possibly……. Not sure. I’ll have to see if there are any of the dream car experience things that have access to one of these. Or else make friends with a very, very wealthy car guy.

For my favorite/dream car that I can feasibly afford, that goes to the Ferrari 550 Maranello.

Lol, me too, definitely. I’d probably sit and stare at her for quite a while… I just find the car to be beautiful in every aspect.

Lucky me that I live in the big city next to the small town where they’re building the cars then. We get to see them here quite orten during the summer when they’re being taken for test n tune runs
