Koenigsegg has released a new video on YouTube that suggests the one-off CCGT racecar will finally get a chance to stretch its legs on the racetrack.
Way back in 2007, the Swedish automaker developed the CCGT to compete in the prestigious GT1 class. However, its hopes of stirring the motorsport pot were dashed when, two months after conducting official testing with the FIA, the rules for the GT1 class changed.
As a result, the CCGT was shelved, and eventually, the GT1 class was discontinued in 2011. But now, the CCGT is eligible for historic GT racing. “Now, in 2023, the CCGT qualifies for historic GT Racing, giving it a chance to compete against its original rivals,” wrote the manufacturer.
The video titled The Chase – Father & Sons shows the CCGT in action on the track, carving corners alongside the exceptional Jesko Attack. The brand’s latest limited edition named CC850 – a homage to the original CC8S – also features.
