Koenigsegg CCXR
An unexpected choice perhaps, but an indication of what’s possible even in one of the world's fastest cars. Swedish company Koenigsegg created an E85-powered version of their CCXR (CCX pictured) that runs on 100-octane biofuel. Thanks partly to the fuel's higher octane rating, an unexpected side effect was a 25% increase in power, far more than expected, and something their customers weren’t exactly disappointed about. The CCXR E85 has a massive 1,050 horsepower and 800 lb-ft (1086 Nm) of torque. That’s more power than the Bugatti Veyron in a car that weighs less than a MINI. This is the kind of environmentalism we could get used to.
