Trivia
- The sounds were recorded using the Koenigsegg CC8S.
- Since the CC8S's engine is a Ford-based 4.7L V8 with twin Rotrex C38-81 centrifugal superchargers, this engine setup is also available on the Koenigsegg CCR.
- A custom block was made for the Koenigsegg CCX, based on the CC8S and CCR's engine design, using the same parts.
- The CCX's engine block design was based on the Teksid S.p.A. version of the 4 valve Ford Modular V8 engines, known for being in the Ford Crown Victoria.
- A custom block was made for the Koenigsegg CCX, based on the CC8S and CCR's engine design, using the same parts.
- By using the same engine setup, the Koenigsegg CC8S, the Koenigsegg CCR, and the Koenigsegg CCX sound the same.
- This engine configuration was standard until the release of the Koenigsegg Agera.
- This is one of the few sound samples from Soundelux that cannot be found on any storefront.
- Since the CC8S's engine is a Ford-based 4.7L V8 with twin Rotrex C38-81 centrifugal superchargers, this engine setup is also available on the Koenigsegg CCR.
