The Koenigsegg CC850's Part-Manual, Part-Auto Transmission Will Blow Your Mind | Carscoops carscoops
CC850 may have the most fascinating transmission ever fitted to a production car and proves that while the Swedish automaker is still a relatively small company, its engineering prowess is among the best in the industry.
The CC850 has been introduced to celebrate 20 years since the first CC8S was delivered by Koenigsegg. It has a similar overall design and shape to the original but has been modernized and outfitted with a new powertrain based on what you’ll find in the Jesko.Prior to the car’s introduced at Monterey Car Week, Mr JWW had the opportunity to speak with Christian von Koenigsegg.
The gearbox of the CC850 is the same basic nine-speed Lightspeed transmission that is found in the Jesko. Remarkably, it has managed to revise this transmission so that it can be use as a six-speed manual with a clutch pedal and a gated shifter or as a nine-speed automatic. What’s more, the transmission is so advanced that Koenigsegg can adjust the gear ratios depending on what driving mode the car is in.
is building just 50 examples of the CC850 but if the transmission proves a hit with customers, we wouldn’t be surprised if other Koengisegg models use the same gearbox moving forward.
