For sale: 2008 Koenigsegg CCX

My mother always told me that there's a time and a place for everything. This age old phrase usually immediately followed something I did wrong. But alas, years later, it still holds meaning. For instance, staring. It's not polite to stare. You see a beautiful woman, you want to stare, but you know it's just not right. You see a horrible accident on the highway, you want to stare, but you know it's just not right.

But, contrary to popular belief, there are times when you're almost expected to stare. Like when you're walking down the street and you glance through the window of New York's only authorized Koenigsegg dealer - and see a brilliant blue Koenigsegg CCX sitting in the forefront of the showroom. You're compelled to stare; people would look at you strangely if you merely walked by. It's a Koenigsegg - and more to the point, very few people know what that actually means!

Christian von Koenigsegg, Swedish automotive phenom, started a profitable super car-manufacturing company before his 30s. His company purchased a defunct fighter jet facility previously occupied by the Swedish Air Force, also known as the Ghosts. The CCX is the first model to be US-legal - and we've got one of very few in the US right here in our showroom.

This particular car has carbon fiber wheels, a rearview camera, stereo with iPod connection, ceramic brakes and a car cover - not that you'd ever want to cover this amazing machine. The interior is a stunning combination of beige leather and blue Alcantara. And this car has more carbon fiber than the stealth bomber.

The craftsmanship, quality, fit and finish of the CCX is unparalleled. The attention to detail, and the level of dedication put into each and every car would put any luxury car manufacturer to shame. Add to that the fact that this car maxes out at just over 250 mph, and you've got yourself a force with which to be reckoned.

While we're reluctant to sell it - because it's just so beautiful - it is for sale. So if you're interested - if you think you can handle this Swedish machine - then we welcome you into our home. Stop by, ask questions - hell, take her out for a spin. We're here whenever you want to drop in - even if you just want to stare.
