One of the rarest supercars in the world, the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, has sparked global speculation after an Arizona car enthusiast spotted a surprising anomaly—a production plate stating it is “No.3” of a model run that only produced two units.
The discovery was made by Instagram user @phaulner, who shared a video zooming in on the passenger-side manufacturer’s plaque of the hyper-exclusive Swedish supercar. The plate clearly reads “No.3,” a detail that contradicts Koenigsegg’s own public claim that only two CCXR Trevitas were ever built.
The Trevita—its name derived from the Swedish words for “three whites”—was intended to be produced in a run of three vehicles, but Koenigsegg ultimately built just two, citing the extreme difficulty of manufacturing its signature Diamond White carbon fiber weave. The groundbreaking material, which gives the Trevita its sparkling silver appearance, was so complex to develop that the company scaled back production, making the car even rarer than originally planned.
The error, while unexpected, has ignited speculation in car enthusiast circles. Some theorize it may have been a production oversight, while others suggest it could have been intentionally mislabeled during the initial planning phase, before the third unit was scrapped.
“This kind of quirk could actually increase the car’s appeal to collectors,” said one luxury car broker familiar with Koenigsegg’s limited-run models. “When you’re dealing with a hypercar this rare, even mistakes become part of the story—and sometimes, part of the value.”
Correcting the plate would likely require replacing or altering a factory component, a move that could raise authenticity concerns. As it stands, the misnumbered plaque may become a defining characteristic of this specific Trevita, adding yet another layer to its already mystique-filled legacy.
