The Koenigsegg CC850’s 25-stage paint maxes out Ammo NYC’s paint depth gauge

Larry Kosilla’s Ammo NYC car-detailing store has seen all kinds of automobiles, however this time it is taking part in host to one thing very uncommon certainly: the primary Koenigsegg CC850.

Kosilla has produced a ton of movies on automobile detailing, and this time he is utilized his expertise to the CC850 displayed at August’s 2022 Monterey Automobile Week. It was on its approach from California to a presentation to clients in New York’s swanky Hamptons, making a fast cease at Kosilla’s store to clean up.

The CC850 wasn’t in want of as a lot consideration as a number of the different vehicles which have handed by the store, however Kosilla gave it an intensive wash and Reflex Professional enamel coating, which ought to make it tougher for filth to stay to the paint.

Talking of paint, the CC850’s 25-stage paint maxed out Kosilla’s paint depth gauge. Areas with thinner paint should be handled extra delicately, however that is not an issue right here. Koenigsegg isn’t any stranger to elaborate paint jobs; the Jesko present automobile displayed on the 2019 Geneva auto present had 34 layers to its paint. 

The CC850 is a re-imagination of Koenigsegg’s first manufacturing automobile—the CC8S.

The V-8 is coupled to a brand new model of Koenigsegg’s Gentle Velocity Transmission that may change between a 9-speed automated mode and 6-speed handbook mode—full with clutch pedal.

Koenigsegg initially deliberate 50 construct slots however they bought out in report time after the CC850’s Monterey debut, which meant a number of the firm’s loyal clients missed out. The automaker shortly upped manufacturing, including 20 construct slots. However even that will not meet demand for the automobile, CEO Christian von Koenigsegg anticipates, sustaining the CC850’s air of exclusivity.
