And when we say extremely rare, we mean it literally; there’s only one Koenigsegg CCXR in existence! Ouch? Um, not exactly because luckily, when the 1.018Hp bio-fuelled CCXR hit a highway cone on a right hand curve at 120mph (193 km/h) sending it spinning around like crazy before stopping in a ditch, Top Gear’s associate, peter Grunert was sitting in the co-drivers seat; the driver was no other than... one of Koenigsegg's own senior engineers! Ouch for him them. And to imagine that Koenigsegg sent that bloke to take over the responsibility of driving the CCXR (worth £606,000 / $1.2 million / €890.000) between photographic locations for Top Gear!
