Lead Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson swept the CCX and very praised the car, but he did not like the lack of downforce. Clarkson said that it was to blame for the lack of a rear spoiler. About this later, said the pilot of the Top Gear Stig, who crashed the CCX and suggested that the car would be more stable with the rear spoiler. In 2006, Koenigsegg presented a variant of its supercar with an optional rear spoiler made of carbon fiber. However, with it the speed drops to 370 km / h.

Forbes Magazine has included the CCX in the list of the most beautiful cars in the world.

One of the main differences from the conventional 911 is the location of the four-liter Twin Turbo engine with 1120 hp. For all 911 models in the history of Porsche( with the exception of the Porsche 911 GT1), the engine is at the rear, while the GT9 is a mid-engine for better weight distribution.

The 6.3-liter twin turbo V8 engine with 1287 horsepower helped to achieve this record. The driver does not have electronic assistants to help control this power. So the car promises either a delightful experience for those who have a lot of driving experience, or almost true death for those who do not have such experience.

It has an 8-liter Quad Turbo W16 engine rated at 1200 hp, as well as numerous aerodynamic changes designed to help win a few extra kilometers per hour.

The cost of this luxury car is 2.4 million dollars and despite such a high price, the demand for cars in the car market is very high.

The Bugatti Chiron is equipped with a 16-cylinder engine and its 1500 horsepower rides from 0 to 100 kilometers in 2.5 seconds.

Although the Chiron is built like a racing car, you do not need to be a professional to manage it. The car is designed to automatically adjust the ride as the speed increases or decreases, which ensures optimum performance.

On the horizon also loomed cars that are ready to compete for the right to be called the fastest car in the world. So, SSC hopes to regain the title of "the fastest car in the world" with its challenger Tuatara( 1350 horsepower under the hood and 443 km / h in theory).And Koenigsegg claims that the supercar One: 1 "on the shoulder" to overcome the bar at 430 km / h. In 2016, when trying to set a record when passing a circle on the German race track, the Nürburgring One: 1 got into an accident, crashing into a protective fence. The pilot did not suffer much, which can not be said about the car. This is one of the most expensive accidents at the Nurburgring.
