No, seriously, it seems as if every square inch of the CCXR is carbon fiber or woven unobtainium. It’s amazing in person. Not amazing for technical reasons, but amazing like who really thinks the answer to every question is more carbon fiber? Even the wheels are carbon fiber.

Okay, technically it’s pretty cool as well. The twin superchargers produce 1018 horsepower in the CCXR’s V-8 and that’s while burning E85. Supercars that run on E85 seem to be all the rage these days, but we’d still like ours to burn oil. With a total production run of six vehicles, the CCXR doesn’t exactly need to appeal to the masses. Each car will cost you north of $2.7 million, but even the folks living in Dubai aren’t likely to see another CCXR jut down the block.

That is very, very cool. Any chance of desktop background size resolutions? You’d make my day. :)

I wonder if carbon fiber will still be as appealing when we figure out new ways to manufacture it more efficiently and for less money. But damn the Edition looks hot.
