Swedish supercar builder Koenigsegg has released some glossy, and not a little bit scary, images of the production version of its CCXR.

(Click on the thumbnails below to launch a gallery of CCXR images or click through the jump to read more about the ferocious Koenigsegg.)

Though the performance numbers (2.9 second 0-60 time, 250+ mph top end) are second only to output figures (1018 horsepower and 740 pound-feet of torque) in terms of shock value for the CCXR, the most interesting part of the technical specifications brief is the part about the car drinking biofuel for breakfast.

That’s right, this €1,575,000 supercar, fit to be the mid-life crisis purchase of Darth Vader himself, gulps down earth-friendly E85.

Don’t mistake us, we’re not about to promote a car that uses any fuel at the rate of just under 11 mpg as an earth saver, but the use of an E85 compatible engine in this application is intriguing.

Take a look at the gallery of Koenigsegg CCXR images, and then give us your opinion in comments.
