Jay Leno Takes the Koniegsegg Trevita CCXR Out for a Spin

Jay Leno is the man when it comes to a one-of-a-kind car collection. You can say he is a true automotive enthusiast with a big bank account. In the latest Jay Leno’s Garage episode, Jay takes the Koenigsegg Trevita CCXR for a drive and gets to talk with Christian von Koenigsegg. Mind you, there are only three CCXR’s in the world. Jay is a lucky guy!

The CCXR is all supercar with its hand-built carbon fiber body and 1,018 horsepower twin-supercharged 4.8-liter V8. If you were in a Bugatti Veyron you may see this car in your review mirror for a second but then you may have to look forward because the CCXR, near half the weight of the Veyron, is apt to pass you by.

I can’t wait for the next episode when Jay is going to wear a different colored shirt for change. Keep dreaming! Enjoy the video below!

    Before the Trevita, Koenigsegg company never dreamed of building a clear carbon fibre,bespoke 1018 hp car in the Bugatti Veyron class, but with an idea from a Koenigsegg client, and a little financial backing, a dream car became a reality.
