2010 Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita

HI-RES GALLERY: 2010 Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita

Jay Leno is officially on notice: we want his garage. Fortunately for our blood pressure, the envy factor is only mildly upped by his stint behind the wheel of the 1,018-horsepower, white carbon fiber Koenigsegg Trevita CCXR, as it's not his, but Christian von Koenigsegg's.

The post at Jay Leno's Garage touts the car's power-to-weight ratio as being double that of the Bugatti Veyron thanks to it weighing half as much. How does it achieve that feat? First, by not going ridiculously complicated with four turbos on a W-16 engine, but second, by cladding the entire car in exposed diamond-weave silvered carbon fiber.

Handbuilt and limited to just three examples, the Trevita CCXR is, put bluntly, completely insane. But it's a good kind of insane. Check out the video for Jay's take on the car, and then hit up our preview for more details.

    I hate jay Leno and his loose goose dropping lifestyle. I want to drag my sack across his chin. Then drop a few bum hairs in his coffee. Then, a little gee named CoCo will get a break from his plan to swing it. I mean, who drops trou in a public place and doesn't swing it in a manner that is according to the code of conduct of modern society?
    Who? Who Gee?
    No one, thats who.
    I mean even going to the modern day DFG market is a sack in the face. You have to stand in line for over 3 hours just to get a glimpse at whatever new bumsack contraptions they think up.
    I, for one, am tired of it. So get your shit together Leno and stop dropping daisies before someone gets seriously hurt.

    That's my two cents for the day.

    Being a die hard car fan has its privileges. Christian von Koenigsegg, founder of the supercar manufacturer named for his family, brought the Koenigsegg Trevita CCXR to California for a segment with Jay Leno.
