The Koenigsegg CC850’s 25-stage paint maxes out Larry Kosilla’s paint depth gauge

Larry Kosilla’s Ammo NYC car-detailing store has seen all kinds of autos, 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 automotive detailing, and this time he is utilized his expertise to the CC850 displayed at August’s 2022 Monterey Automobile Week. It was on its means 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 few of the different vehicles which have handed by the store, however Kosilla gave it a radical wash and Reflex Professional enamel coating, which ought to make it tougher for dust 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 is not any stranger to elaborate paint jobs; the Jesko present automotive displayed on the 2019 Geneva auto present had 34 layers to its paint. 

The CC850 is a re-imagination of Koenigsegg’s first manufacturing automotive—the CC8S. The styling borrowed closely from that hypercar, however the CC850 is powered by Koenigsegg’s present twin-turbo 5.0-liter V-8 tuned to ship 1,169 hp with common pump gasoline or 1,366 hp with E85 gas. The V-8 is coupled to a brand new model of Koenigsegg’s Gentle Pace Transmission that may swap between a 9-speed automated mode and 6-speed guide mode—full with clutch pedal.

Koenigsegg initially deliberate 50 construct slots however they bought out in file time after the CC850’s Monterey debut, which meant a few 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 automotive, CEO Christian von Koenigsegg anticipates, sustaining the CC850’s air of exclusivity.
