When I saw it the first thing I thought to myself if "I'd like to see what happens when it gets t-boned by a hummer" I've never seen carbon-fibre in a car accident before (unless you count racing prototypes.), let alone a car made completely of carbon fibre. I'm curious how an all carbon fibre would hold up against like fender benders and common accidents. Maybe thats a tangent that shouldn't be explored.  I like the car but I find it completely unnecessary, I would not any nut for it.

Carbon Fiber in an accident shatters and splinters everywhere.
however the exo isn't as important as the frame below it in a crash. wouldn't give a nut for it, but it seriously serves an excellent purpose. |

Its almost bordering on prototype race car and for the hypothetical cost of the vehicle I'll settle for an old R8 or R10 as a comparable track beater

You take it to the exclusive membership racetrack which costs more than you'll make in 5 years at your highest salary and see what she does, then you show up to the $2000 a plate charity diner for someone you could careless about. They are born and bred super cars to push the "street legal" production top speed and handling limits (ie push the rules as far as they go) as well as look better then anything out there. street practicality.....pfffft get your grocery getting a$$ back to the kitchen.

They have had the CCXR out for awhile now. The Koenigsegg is my fav car these days. As for how well does it hold up in an accident, on topgear they tested a Koenigsegg CCX that has a carbon fiber front bumper on it and the stig lost controll coming out of the straights and went off the track. The front bumper held up better than i thought..but at the same time, carbon fiber if weaved properly (i imagine the koenigsegg would be) is stronger then steel. But any ways..check out the video of the CCX crashing...
HERE and the CCXR... HERE EDIT: BTW..that 1018HP..thats running it on Bioethonal. Gas that you can get here..like 104octane...or 94 octane..ur making more like 800ish HP. If your in europe where they have higher octane gas, or any of the bio fuels...it will make the 1018hp. EDIT AGAIN: I found a video of a sideimpact test of a CC8S..the model before the CCX and CCXR..but pretty much built the same.
