PredecessorKoenigsegg CC8S (spiritual)

The Koenigsegg CC850 is a limited production mid-engine sports car manufactured by Swedish automobile manufacturer Koenigsegg. It was unveiled on 19 August 2022 at Pebble Beach, California,[3] as a homage to the CC8S. Built to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the first production CC8S, the CC850 was originally limited to 50 units to celebrate the company's founder Christian von Koenigsegg's 50th birthday,[4] however, due to increased demand it was announced six days later on 25 August 2022 that an additional 20 units would be built.[5]
