Koenigsegg CCX Driver Stalls Engine Twice, Shows an 800 HP Clutch Job Is Tricky

And when it comes to an 806 HP Koenigsegg, things can get even more difficult - we're here to show you how easily such a machine can catch its driver out during a simple let's-drive-off moment.

We're dealing with a Koenigsegg CCX that took part in a British velocity event called VMax200 earlier this year. The high-octane gathering saw mechanical monsters playing on the Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome's runway, but, before the supercars and hypercars could get to the speedy part, they had to leave the car park.

Well, this part proved a bit difficult for the driver of the CCX in the clip below, as we can see the engine being stalled twice in a row - the delay caused by this even confused the Ferrari FF driver waiting for his turn to leave the car park.

We've all had our bad clutch days, though, so we'll cut this hypercar owner some slack.

Oh, and let's not forget that Koenigsegg has come a long way since the CCX. One decade ago when this model was introduced, the company was still going all experimental. On one hand the CCX market a major step forward for the Swedish carmaker, from leaving the Ford engine block design behind to the features that allowed the car to penetrate the US market. On the other hand, it took a serious spin with The Stig at the wheel to convince Angelholm to gift the machine with a wing (yes, the famous Top Gear Wing).

Nowadays, the small-volume carmaker is almost ready to introduce its clutch-less 1,500 hp Regera to the world, a hybrid machine that uses a hydraulic coupling for engaging or disengaging its twin-turbo V8.
