Koenigsegg has built a new car that looks like its oldest one. Welcome to the CC850: a 1,385hp hypercar with a very complicated manual/automatic gearbox, all clothed in the timeless design of Koenigsegg’s first ever production car. That’s the CC8S, providing ample proof of its ageless design concept because it looks just as fresh today as it did back in 2002. This new car celebrates 20 years since it first took flight, as well as the boss' 50th birthday. The CC850 achieves a 1:1 power to weight ratio with 1385hp (on E85) and a 1385 kg kerb weight. Oh, and did we forget to mention the perfect 1385 Nm @ 4800rpm for a full house? Join Top Gear magazine's Jack Rix and Christian von Koenigsegg for a guided tour around number 1 of 70 under the roof of the company's new factory.

This is Peugeot’s finished 9X8 endurance racing Hypercar, and yes, there’s still no rear wing. Peugeot reckons it can generate enough ground effect with clever under-body aero alone. Pretty impressive considering the 9X8 is a 671bhp endurance racer that weighs just over a tonne… The 9X8 conforms to the ACO and FIA’s Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) class and is four-wheel drive, with a 2.6-litre twin-turbo V6 powering the rear wheels and a bespoke, high performance electric motor on the fronts. Join Top Gear magazine’s Tom Ford for a look around the wingless 9X8 at Fuji Speedway, and find out more about the exciting new Le Mans Hypercar race series that has already attracted entries from BMW, Alpine, Ferrari, Porsche, Toyota and more… Chapters 00:00 Intro: Welcome to Japan 00:51 The Peugeot 9X8 01:34 Le Mans Hypercar Series Benefits 03:20 9X8 Walkaround 04:48 Q+A with Director of Stellantis Motorsport 07:20 Q+A with James Rossiter, 9X8 Driver 09:47 9X8 on Track 10:37 Outro Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear MORE ABOUT TOP GEAR: Want to watch a bit of Top Gear on the internet?
