Koenigsegg CCX

Definitely deserving of the title ultra luxury car, the Koenigsegg CCX is the newest vehicle to be developed by the Koenigsegg Company. This Sweden based company was founded by Christian von Koenigsegg to create the perfect sports car. All that and more is embodied in the CCX. It flawlessly combines flat-out speed with agility and a luxurious interior. With a predecessor like the Koenigsegg CCR (formerly the fastest production car), the CCX has very large shoes to fill; but it is definitely as good as and better than the CCR.
