In 1994,the Koenigsegg project was launched. With a long tradition of building high quality cars and a large number of suppliers to the racing car industry, Sweden offered a suitable breeding ground for the development of a world-class supercar. The concept for this supercar was set from the start, a two-seater, mid-engined construction with a hardtop; all based on state of the art Formula One technology. A network of competent designers and engineers, with connections both to the Swedish car industry and the universities, was tied together.
Koenigsegg took the Crown from the legendary McLaren F1 road car regarding top speed. The McLaren F1 Guinness Record held for 7 years until the mighty CCR, with a small margin managed to outrun the former and ageing champion. CCR also proves itself on the famous and challenging Nürburgring by taking several speed records around the track and almost beating the outright lap record for production cars even considering the bad conditions, as the temperature was only 3 degrees Celsius.
Its a special edition car of which only three were made. The Trevita, which translates into "three whites" in Swedish, has a body made entirely out of Koenigsegg's proprietary material consisting of diamond-colored carbon fiber. The Trevita is based on the Koenigsegg CCXR, and Apart from the unique composte material and the partially painted wheels it has the specification as the Special Edition CCXR.
