2027 Koenigsegg CCGT1
By Lorenzo Bianchi August 14, 2026
The CCGT1 is built on the CC850 platform and pays tribute to the Koenigsegg CCGT, a GT1 endurance racer whose program was cancelled in 2006 before it raced.
It debuts Koenigsegg's Ghost Fibre material and comes with the company's first-ever factory-authorized optional track package.
Limited to 70 examples — matching the CC850 — the CCGT1 is fully allocated ahead of launch, with deliveries not yet detailed in Koenigsegg's announcement.
A Name Two Decades in the Making
Koenigsegg has a habit of naming cars after moments in its own history, and the CCGT1 continues that streak. Where the CC850 paid tribute to the CC8S that started the company, the CCGT1 is built to honor the CCGT, a GT1 endurance racer that Christian von Koenigsegg developed alongside fabricator Dag Bölenius, only for the FIA to rewrite GT1 regulations two months into shakedown testing and effectively kill the class. The CCGT never turned a competitive lap. It sat with its first owner for fifteen years before surfacing at Goodwood in 2024, and has since been restored by Koenigsegg's Legend Division for a belated debut in GT1 Historic racing.
Design Details Are Light So Far
Koenigsegg's announcement leans heavily on the CCGT1's backstory and comparatively little on what the car actually looks like. Christian von Koenigsegg's comment that the tribute holds together "with or without its roof" suggests a removable-roof configuration, in keeping with other Koenigsegg Megacars, though the company hasn't detailed exterior styling, proportions, or dimensions in this material.

Interior Built Around a Racing Ritual
What Koenigsegg does spell out is the driving experience inside the cabin. The CCGT1 gets a clutch pedal for takeoff and a sequential shifter with ignition cut, feeding into a 9-speed Light Speed Transmission Koenigsegg describes as ultra-fast shifting. Mode selection runs through a center console dial labeled ASMR, covering Auto, Sequential, Manual, and Reverse. Buyers who want three pedals full-time can instead spec the CC850's ESS 6-speed gated manual as an option, which points to real drivetrain flexibility rather than a single fixed configuration.
Power Comes From a Familiar Source, With Track-Ready Cooling
The CCGT1 runs Koenigsegg's fully homologated twin-turbo V8, described as astonishingly responsive and sonorous, with extra cooling added to sustain peak performance on circuit. Koenigsegg hasn't published horsepower, torque, or weight figures for the CCGT1 itself in this announcement — those numbers used for the original 2006 CCGT racer (600 hp, roughly 1,000 kg) describe a different, race-only car and shouldn't be read onto the new road-legal model.

A Track Package With a First for the Brand
Practically, the biggest news might be the optional track package, which Koenigsegg calls its first-ever factory-authorized setup of this kind. Combined with the standard car, Koenigsegg positions the CCGT1 as capable of delivering the fastest, most exhilarating track experience of any Koenigsegg to date, while still functioning as a daily driver on public roads. The brand also confirms the debut of a new material, Ghost Fibre, tying back to the Trevita project from the same era as the original CCGT.
Scarce by Design
With only 70 units built and all allocations already spoken for ahead of launch, the CCGT1 sits squarely in Koenigsegg's low-volume, high-price Megacar tier alongside cars like the CC850 it's based on. Koenigsegg doesn't name direct competitors in this release, but the car's positioning — road-legal, track-capable, built in extremely limited numbers — puts it in the same conversation as bespoke hypercar tributes from other boutique manufacturers.
