Hey Baasha, it's very likely that you are correct, now that I think about it, I think I saw a red letter only (I probably thought that X looked like an R, and made the quick assumption.) But I definitely do not remember seeing any green letters or anything signifying flower power, so it's safe to say it was a CCX. It was black though!

Incredible.

Nice ride! And he parks it with everyone else. Very cool.

Any luck with MyDetailer.Com (background of first photo). They come up to the office complex (San Mateo) and have thought about using them...

Thanks for the pics Fern. It must be the same car...I can't imagine there are too many asian guys driving around in dark Koenigseggs...it's incredible!

So as far as it being a CCX or a CCXR, I'm pretty sure it's not a 2007 CCX, as it doesn't have a carbon vertical bar in the center of the front bumper vent...and it doesn't have the front bumper of the 2007 CCGT. Therefore it has to be a 2006 CCX or a 2007 CCXR. Front pics, I can't tell any difference between the two (we'd need a shot of the side where the nameplate is). The only thing I noticed is that this car has the two windshield washer nozzles on the center hood vent. It could have been an option? for 2006 CCX cars, but I've seen them on all the 2007 CCX and CCXRs...

God I'm such a dork.

Nice pics! As for it being a CCX vs. CCXR, the best way to tell are the wheels; the CCXR has carbon fiber wheels (Dymag?) stock. The "regular" CCX has magnesium alloy wheels. There are a few other components on the CCXR that make it discernable from a 'regular' CCX.

Actually, that car is definitely NOT a CCXR. The rear wing on the CCXR is as outrageous as the 1018 BHP it gets from bio-fuel!!

The 'regular' CCX has a 'smaller' wing like the one you have shown in the pics. Furthermore, the CCXR was just released and shown at the Geneva Auto Show. Of course, Jen-Hsun Huang is a baller, but a CCXR is easily ~$2.2MM and that's a whole new level. The regular CCX is ~$935k or probably $1MM "out the door"! The CCXR also has the "R" in green lettering on the outside as well as the inside. However, as mentioned earlier, I think it's safe to say that this particular Koenigsegg is indeed a CCX. If it happens to be a CCXR, hats off to Jen-Hsun Huang!!

Great to see the ever growing group of fellow exotic car enthusiasts in the good 'ol Bay Area!! There are 2 other "regular" CCX's in the Bay Area that I've heard of as well.
