The Beast Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Koenigsegg CCR is one`s of the most amazing, powerful and fastest cars ever build. This swedish monster on 28 February 2005 in Nardo, Italy broke the record for the fastest production car in the world, having attained 388.87 km/h (242.91 mph), breaking the record previously held by the McLaren F1. The record was held until September 2005 when the long awaited Bugatti Veyron broke the record again at 407.5 km/h (253 mph).

Some performance:
Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph)- 3.2 seconds
Top speed: over 395 km/h (over 242 mph) @6790 rpm (max rpm = 7600)
Standing quarter mile: 9 seconds, end speed 235 km/h (146 mph)
Engine: 4.7 L V8, 806 bhp (601 kW)
Price: About 700.000 Euro

I took this picture during motorfestiwal in norwegian city Naerbo.

Hello Andrzej

This truly is a beast!
I heard so many radio commercials about this car that it really is a pity I didn't go to this event. (I live 40 km north)
The POV is excellent, the close up view really puts size and shapes into perspective and create the right feeling to this expencive monster car!
(I want to adda more serious note to this photo as there was a young buy that got killed at this motor festival, not by this car. It was considered a very bad strike for Norwegian motorsport)

Belle photo, je suis désolé mais des problèmes familiaux m’empêchent d’épiloguer. Thomas
