Koenigsegg CC850
The CC850 is the ideal combination of classic design and cutting-edge technology.
Engineered to be the perfect driver’s car, every innovation in the CC850 is designed to enhance the driving experience. The award-winning Engage Shift System (ESS) is one such innovation, providing both a gated 6-speed manual and a 9-speed automatic in the same transmission. The choice is yours!
Inspired by the original CC8S, the CC850 features the classic Koenigsegg silhouette, while the interior, and particularly the analog chronocluster, is a work of art.
The Driver’s Dream
Engage Shift System
The ESS combines a 6-speed manual shifting experience, complete with clutch pedal, with a fully automatic transmission with super-fast and frictionless shifting. The driver can choose their preferred experience and can switch modes at any time. Using the manual shifter and clutch, the driver can feel an unparalleled connection with the car, feeling every subtlety as the rubber meets the road.
With the automatic mode engaged, the driver can sit back, relax and enjoy seamless shifting and effortless performance, while also being able to change gear ratios to experience different sensations behind the wheel.
ESS ensures the optimal driving experience while offering unmatched variety and control, and it is one of the many features that makes the CC850 a truly special vehicle.
1:1 Ratio
The Koenigsegg CC850 is one of a few select megacars to boast a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio, weighing just 1,385kg and producing 1,385hp from its twin-turbo V8 powertrain.
This offers the driver a potent mix of pure power and incredible vehicle dynamics. The car feels nimble and agile in the corners, with world class acceleration and straight-line speed.
Chronocluster
The original Chronocluster was designed for the Koenigsegg CCX as an innovative way to give the driver essential information in a visually appealing way. We are proud to introduce a new, second generation Chronocluster in the CC850.
The new Chronocluster includes essential vehicle performance information in one multi-faced dial. Engine speed (rpm) is on the outer perimeter, vehicle speed is indicated via a precision dial on a central perimeter, and turbo boost information in the center of the cluster.
Everything is designed with a classic look, while ensuring that critical information can be understood in a single glance.
Light Speed Transmission (LST)
The Koenigsegg Jesko features an all-new 9-speed, multi-clutch transmission – the second transmission to be 100% designed and built in-house at Koenigsegg, following the Direct Drive system designed for the Regera.
The Koenigsegg Light Speed Transmission (LST) represents a scale of evolution not seen since the development of modern dual-clutch technology at the turn of the century.
LST comprises nine forward gears and several wet, multidisc clutches in a compact, ultra-light package. The LST is capable of upward and downward gear changes between gears at near light speed thanks to the simultaneous opening and closing of clutches that allows for totally seamless acceleration/deceleration.
That LST gear changes can occur in virtually zero time between adjacent gears is impressive.
What takes LST from impressive to evolutionary, however, is that these shift-time benefits apply when changing between ANY forward gears.
UPOD – ULTIMATE POWER ON DEMAND
The key to this functionality is found in both the transmission’s unique design and Koenigsegg’s intelligent ‘UPOD’ technology – Ultimate Power On Demand. UPOD is the brain that instantly selects and engages optimum gearing for maximum acceleration.
While modern dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) enjoy millisecond shift times, they can only pre-select for a fast shift in one direction. DCT’s are designed to predict and pre-select the next gear based on inputs from the driver. If that prediction is wrong – e.g the driver wants to shift from 5th gear to 4th, instead of the presumed and pre-selected 6th gear – the driver will experience G-force losses and a slow shift response.
In addition, DCT’s only work in single-gear intervals. From 7th gear to 6th, to 5th, to 4th, for example. If the driver is in 7th gear and wants 4th for maximum power, the DCT cannot pre-select 4th gear directly. The driver has to pass through 6th and 5th gears, wasting time and power.
The Koenigsegg LST overcomes this via its unique multi-clutch design and UPOD technology, which selects the optimum gear for maximum power with a light speed gear change, regardless of whether that gear is 1, 2 or even 5 gears away.
UPOD uses vehicle speed and engine speed to determine the correct gear for maximum power and directs the LST to engage that gear, no matter its relationship to the current gear. If you are in 7th gear and 4th is the optimal gear for maximum acceleration, UPOD can bypass downshifts to 6th and 5th gear and put the car directly from 7th to 4th – in light speed.
The effect is instant, prolific power that’s always optimised and always available, allowing maximum acceleration for overtaking, corner exits, etc.
AHEAD OF THE CURVE
Koenigsegg has a long history of developing innovative, in-house solutions aimed at optimising vehicle performance. Near-enough is never good-enough. This no-compromise philosophy inspired the development of Aircore carbon fibre wheels, Koenigsegg Direct Drive, Triplex suspension geometry, the RocketCat catalytic converter, Autoskin technology, and much more. LST is the latest in a long line of Koenigsegg innovations.
Modern Classic
A Model Celebration
The CC850 is a dual tribute for Koenigsegg: celebrating 20 years of vehicle production, as well as the 50th birthday of the company’s founder and CEO, Christian Von Koenigsegg.
A Homage to Timeless Design and the CC8S
“The CC850 is an homage to the single most meaningful car in Koenigsegg history,” said Christian von Koenigsegg. “The CC8S put us on the map and made us successful. With us marking 20 years of production, alongside my 50th birthday, it felt right to reveal the CC850 as a celebration of our roots.”
1:1 Power To Weight
As with the iconic Koenigsegg ONE:1released in 2014, the CC850 also achieves a 1:1 power to weight ratio with 1385 hp and a 1385 kg curb weight.
