Top 10 Most Expensive New Parts 3

8. Koenigsegg CCX £415000





Koenigsegg's new CCR takes over as the company's fastest ever (and one of the world's fastest ever) supercars. Retaining the mighty 806 bhp supercharged V8 from the CCR, the Competition Coupe X has been fettled to produce even faster performance, namely 0-60mph in a shade over 3sec and a pulverising 245mph top speed (second only to the Veyron). Pace is unquestionable but handling is demanding (the rear spoiler is not just there for aesthetics, just ask the Stig)!

What must be the loudest car on the planet is yours for £415,000 but be quick, they only build 12 a year. And if 806 bhp is not enough then just fill it up with super unleaded, it's worth another 40 bhp!
