Development
The CC8S started off as the CC prototype. Despite very limited resources, the chassis, suspension, brakes, wishbones uprights and many other items where all custom designed for the car by Koenigseggs small team. The car was very original and got a lot of attention but in order to test the waters, Koenigsegg decided to bring the CC prototype to the Cannes Film Festival in 1997. The reaction to the car was favorable and the first international contacts were taken. The automaker felt assured and pushed onwards to reach production and just five years later, in 2002, Koenigsegg began series production of the CC8S model.
