For hypercar enthusiasts and collectors, an extraordinary opportunity awaits: the 2006 Koenigsegg CCXR Prototype, a pioneer in eco-friendly high-performance vehicles, is set to hit the auction block at Bonhams’ prestigious Bond Street Sale on December 12. Known as “Streetfighter 7031,” this prototype not only marks a significant chapter in Koenigsegg’s history but also represents a turning point in sustainable supercar engineering.
Crafted to run on E85 biofuel, the CCXR Prototype was ahead of its time, offering over 1,000 horsepower while maintaining an eco-conscious edge—a rare feat in 2006. While most automakers were focusing solely on power, Koenigsegg was innovating the balance between performance and sustainability, pushing boundaries to create a car capable of breaking 250 mph without compromising environmental considerations.
Distinct in design, the CCXR Prototype boasts Koenigsegg’s hallmark carbon fiber body, built to be both lightweight and resilient. The sleek satin black finish is complemented by aerodynamic features and Koenigsegg’s unique dihedral synchro-helix doors. Small but meaningful design touches, such as repositioned washer nozzles and bespoke air vents behind the front wheels, highlight the car’s prototype roots and testing history.
Inside, this CCXR Prototype blends luxury with racing flair, featuring dark gray leather, Alcantara accents, and a minimalist carbon fiber dashboard. It also carries a notable racing heritage, with decals from Norway’s Rudskogen race circuit, where it made numerous appearances. Industrial designer Bard Eker, instrumental in Koenigsegg’s ascent in the automotive world, has his influence etched into the car, giving it a unique cultural and historical dimension.
Expected to reach around $2.3 million, the CCXR Prototype isn’t just a high-performance machine; it’s a collector’s dream, promising its owner a piece of hypercar history. Bonhams opens bidding on December 12, offering a rare chance to acquire a vehicle that shaped the future of sustainable speed.
