Forza Horizon 6 — 2008 Koenigsegg CCGT Performance Stats Guide

The 2008 Koenigsegg CCGT is the most unusual car in the entire Koenigsegg lineup in Forza Horizon 6. It is not a road car. It was never intended to be driven on public streets. It was built as a GT1 class race car for the 24 Hours of Le Mans — and it never got to race. A regulation change killed the programme before it ever reached the start line.

In Forza Horizon 6, the CCGT sits at S2 900 — the highest PI in the Koenigsegg S2 lineup — classified as an Extreme Track Toy rather than a Hypercar. It is the best-controlled Koenigsegg in the game, with near-perfect braking (10/10 stock) and sharp high-speed handling that no road-going Koenigsegg can match.

This guide covers the full stats, engine details, the real-world story, and exactly where the CCGT fits in FH6.

What Is the Koenigsegg CCGT?

The Koenigsegg CCGT is one of the most fascinating “what if” machines in motorsport history. Christian von Koenigsegg — the company’s founder — designed the original Koenigsegg CC road car with GT racing regulations in mind from the very beginning. The GT1 class at Le Mans required a car no wider than two metres with a cockpit covering at least 70% of the car’s width. The original CC platform was built to exactly those measurements, quietly laying the groundwork for a future racing programme.

Beginning as a side project worked on during engineering and production downtime, a specialist team of Koenigsegg engineers led by Dag Bölenius hand-built the CCGT over approximately three years. It was based on the Koenigsegg CCR with performance elements drawn from the CCX, and it made its public debut at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show. Testing was conducted in 2008 by racing driver Loris Bicocchi, and early reports were promising — the CCGT was considered highly competitive.

The result was extraordinary. The car weighed under 1,000 kg without ballast — so light that Koenigsegg had to add ballast to reach the GT1 minimum weight of 1,100 kg, which gave the team perfect flexibility to optimise handling balance. It generated over 600 kg of downforce at speed and produced exactly 600 hp from its naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 — the GT1 category maximum.

Then the ACO and FIA changed the regulations. Carbon fibre monocoques were banned. The minimum production requirement jumped from 20 units over several years to 350 per year — a number completely unachievable for a boutique manufacturer like Koenigsegg. The programme ended immediately. The single completed prototype passed into the collection of Bård Eker — a Norwegian entrepreneur who was Koenigsegg’s largest shareholder — where it was stored in a temperature-controlled garage, run just twice a year for maintenance, and remained essentially untouched for over a decade. It was sold at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed auction in July 2023 for £3,319,000.

In Forza Horizon 6, the CCGT gets to race — finally. It is one of the most unique and historically significant cars in the game’s S2 class.

2008 Koenigsegg CCGT — Full Performance Stats in FH6

Here is the complete breakdown of the CCGT’s stock performance figures in Forza Horizon 6:

Performance Index (PI): S2 — 900
Price: 3,400,000 CR
Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD)
Rarity: Legendary
Type: Extreme Track Toy
Engine: 5.0L Naturally Aspirated V8
Power: ~600 hp
Weight: Under 1,000 kg (dry) — lightest Koenigsegg ever built
Downforce: Over 600 kg at race speeds
Speed: 9/10 — lower than road-going Koenigseggs; the CCGT is not built for top speed
Braking: 10/10 — perfect; best in the Koenigsegg S2 lineup
Handling: 9.7/10 — near-perfect; best in the Koenigsegg S2 lineup
Launch: 10/10 — perfect
Acceleration: Strong but not the standout stat

The PI of 900 ties the CCGT with the Koenigsegg Gemera as the highest-rated Koenigsegg in the S2 class. But where the Gemera is a four-seat AWD hybrid hypercar — and notably the only Koenigsegg in FH6 rated Epic rather than Legendary — the CCGT is a circuit-specific machine. Its braking stat is a perfect 10/10 and its handling ranks as the strongest in the entire Koenigsegg FH6 roster. The trade-off is top speed: the CCGT’s speed stat of 9/10 does not match the raw straight-line ceiling of the Jesko, Agera RS, or One:1. This is not a surprise — the real-world car was a circuit racer, not a top-speed record machine.

Engine and Technical Specs

The CCGT runs a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 — a detuned version of the supercharged Koenigsegg CCX engine, modified to comply with GT1 class power regulations. Here is the full technical picture:

Engine: 5.0L Naturally Aspirated 32-Valve V8
Power: 600 hp — the GT1 class maximum
Aspiration: Naturally aspirated — superchargers removed, displacement expanded from 4.7L to 5.0L to reduce power to the legal limit
Transmission: Sequential gearbox with AP Racing twin-disc clutch (paddle-shift)
Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive
Chassis: Carbon fibre monocoque with honeycomb reinforcement
Suspension: Pushrod independent — optimised for circuit use
Brakes: Massive race-specification — designed for repeated heavy braking from high speed
Aerodynamics: Over 600 kg of downforce at race speed — the most aero downforce of any Koenigsegg
Dry Weight: Under 1,000 kg — ballast added to reach GT1’s 1,100 kg minimum
Body: Carbon fibre and Kevlar — same materials used in Koenigsegg road cars but pushed to an extreme

The decision to go naturally aspirated is significant. The standard CCX engine was a supercharged 4.7L producing 806 hp. To bring it down to the GT1’s 600 hp maximum, Koenigsegg removed the superchargers and expanded the displacement to 5.0 litres. The naturally aspirated delivery gives the CCGT immediate throttle response with no lag — a critical advantage on a circuit where corner exit timing depends on how predictably power arrives. Koenigsegg’s own official history states that the few people who drove the CCGT said it “handles like a dream.”

How Does the CCGT Drive in FH6?

The CCGT drives unlike any other Koenigsegg in Forza Horizon 6. It is not about maximum top speed. It is about circuit mastery — braking later, carrying more cornering speed, and exploiting 600+ kg of aerodynamic downforce to stay planted where road-going hypercars start to squirm.

With a perfect 10/10 braking stat, the CCGT lets you push deeper into braking zones than any other Koenigsegg. Its 9.7/10 handling means it turns effectively at high speed in a way that the Jesko, Agera RS, and One:1 simply cannot match at stock. And the naturally aspirated V8 delivers power immediately and predictably — no turbo lag, no sudden torque spike to unsettle the rear axle on corner exit.

The limitation is top speed. The CCGT will not win a drag race against a Koenigsegg Jesko or Agera RS. On a long flat expressway with no corners, it falls behind — the Jesko tops out at 457 km/h stock, while the CCGT trades some of that straight-line ceiling for circuit dominance. But put it on a technical circuit, through Japan’s mountain passes, or into a race with frequent high-speed corners and demanding braking zones — and the CCGT earns its S2 900 PI rating completely.

It demands respect on entry. The car is stiff, circuit-tuned, and not forgiving of mistakes the way a grand touring hypercar is. It rewards precision inputs and clean lines. For drivers who prefer technique over raw aggression, it is one of the most satisfying cars in FH6 to master.

CCGT vs Other Koenigseggs in FH6

There are seven Koenigsegg models in Forza Horizon 6. The CCGT is fundamentally different from all of them. Here is how it compares:

CCGT — S2 900, 3,400,000 CR — Extreme Track Toy, Legendary. Best braking (10/10) and handling (9.7) in the Koenigsegg S2 lineup. Lower top speed. Specialist circuit and technical road pick.
Gemera — S2 900, higher price — Ties the CCGT on PI but is the only AWD Koenigsegg and the only one rated Epic rather than Legendary. Stronger all-round performance for varied events. The better all-rounder; the CCGT is the better pure circuit car. Our Koenigsegg Gemera guide covers it fully.
Jesko — S2, 3,500,000 CR — Speed 10, top speed of 457 km/h stock, superior straight-line performance with good handling. The best all-round Koenigsegg for most events. If you want one car that covers everything, this is it.
Agera RS — S2, 2,900,000 CR — Speed 10, strong braking. Best value Koenigsegg for highway and speed trap events.
One:1 — S2, 3,750,000 CR — Most expensive Koenigsegg in FH6. Prestige collector car. Our Koenigsegg One:1 guide covers the full comparison.
Regera — S2, 2,550,000 CR — More forgiving driving experience than the One:1 or Agera RS. A sensible buy for Koenigsegg fans who want something easier to manage day-to-day.
Agera — S2, 1,950,000 CR — Entry-level Koenigsegg. Most tuning headroom. Weakest stock performance. Our Koenigsegg Agera guide covers it in full.

The CCGT occupies a unique niche. It is the only Koenigsegg in the game that was purpose-built for circuit racing — not a road car adapted for track use. That history is reflected in every stat. If you want the best-handling Koenigsegg in FH6 for technical circuit events, the CCGT is the answer. If you want the best overall performer for mixed events across Japan, the Jesko or Gemera is the answer.

Is the CCGT Worth Buying?

At 3,400,000 CR and S2 900, the CCGT is a specialist purchase — but the right one for the right player.

Buy the CCGT if:

You prioritise braking and handling above top speed in S2 events.
You race circuits, technical mountain passes, or events with frequent high-speed corners where the CCGT’s downforce and braking shine.
You want the highest PI Koenigsegg in S2 and prefer circuit-focused characteristics over straight-line performance.
You are a Koenigsegg collector completing the full brand lineup in FH6.
You appreciate one-of-a-kind motorsport history — this is the only completed CCGT ever built, and FH6 finally gives it the chance to race.

Consider alternatives if:

You want maximum top speed — the Jesko (457 km/h) and Agera RS are significantly faster in a straight line.
You race primarily on expressways and open highway stretches where speed matters more than cornering.
You want the best all-round Koenigsegg for varied events. The Jesko covers more ground more consistently than any other Koenigsegg in the game.

Best Events for the Koenigsegg CCGT

The CCGT is a specialist car and performs best in the right situations:

Technical S2 circuit races — Where braking precision, aerodynamic downforce, and high-speed cornering create the margins between winning and losing. This is the CCGT’s natural home.
Mountain passes and touge-style events — The combination of 600+ kg downforce and perfect braking makes the CCGT exceptional on technical switchback roads. Our best roads guide covers all the top routes. For touge-specific tips, our Touge Battle Mode guide is worth reading alongside this.
S2 events with frequent direction changes — Any event that rewards cars able to carry speed through fast corners rather than just accelerate down straights favours the CCGT over the Speed-10 Koenigseggs.
Goliath and Colossus — The CCGT’s handling and braking make it competitive on the long Colossus loop — especially through the technical mountain sections. See our full Goliath Race and Colossus guide for strategy and car comparison.
Seasonal playlist S2 events — S2 capped playlist events that reward handling and circuit pace play to the CCGT’s strengths. Our seasonal events guide keeps you updated on what is available each week.

Upgrade Tips for the Koenigsegg CCGT

The CCGT is already well-tuned for circuit use at stock. Here are the areas to focus on when upgrading:

Tyres — Moving to race slick compounds unlocks more mechanical grip to complement the already substantial aerodynamic downforce. The CCGT’s chassis can handle the additional traction — it does not snap or punish the upgrade the way more sensitive road cars might.
Engine upgrades — The naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 has room for improvement. Intake, exhaust, and engine internals push the power figure meaningfully, and the naturally aspirated character is preserved through these upgrades in a way that adding forced induction would change.
Suspension fine-tuning — The circuit-spec pushrod suspension is highly tunable. Adjusting spring rates and damper settings for different circuit types — softer for flowing mountain passes, stiffer for tight technical circuits — extracts the most from the car’s downforce and balance.
Aerodynamics — Adjusting front-to-rear aero balance is important on a car generating this level of downforce. More front bias suits tighter technical circuits; more balanced settings suit flowing high-speed tracks.
Differential — The rear differential tune determines how the car rotates under braking and how stable it is on exit. A well-set diff allows the CCGT’s braking advantage to be fully exploited on entry while keeping the rear stable under acceleration.
Gearing — The CCGT is not a top-speed machine, so optimising the gearbox for circuit gear ranges — ensuring you stay in the V8’s power band through key sections — is more impactful than maximising final drive length.

The CCGT in the Forza Series

The Koenigsegg CCGT has appeared in Forza titles across multiple generations. In each game it has consistently been recognised as the best-handling Koenigsegg in the lineup — a reputation that traces directly back to the real car’s testing data and the engineers who drove it.

In Forza Horizon 6, its classification as an Extreme Track Toy under S2 900 is the most accurate placement the car has ever received in the franchise. It is not a hypercar. It was never meant to be driven on a road. S2’s Extreme Track Toy designation finally reflects what the CCGT actually is — a racing machine built by a boutique supercar company to compete at the highest level of endurance racing, that never got its chance in the real world.

FH6 gives the CCGT that chance across Japan’s roads and circuits. And for players who can exploit its circuit-focused character, it is genuinely one of the most rewarding Koenigseggs to drive in the game.

Final Thoughts

The 2008 Koenigsegg CCGT is the most distinctive car in the Koenigsegg FH6 lineup. It sits at S2 900 — the highest PI among Koenigsegg’s S2 models — classified as an Extreme Track Toy, and built around perfect braking (10/10) and near-perfect handling (9.7) rather than maximum top speed. In a brand famous for going faster than almost anything else on the planet, the CCGT is the one that turns better than anything else.

Its real-world story is one of motorsport’s great tragedies — a purpose-built Le Mans contender, hand-built by a small team over three years, destroyed by a regulation change before it ever reached the grid, and sold for over £3.3 million at Goodwood decades later as a pristine, unraced prototype. In FH6, it finally gets to prove what it was built for. On Japan’s circuits and mountain passes, with 600+ kg of downforce loading its tyres and the naturally aspirated V8 responding instantly to every throttle input, the CCGT is exactly the car Koenigsegg always intended it to be.
