Already one of the fastest cars on the road, the Koenigsegg CCR is not the first that’d spring to mind when thinking of rides that could use some additional tuning. It’s already got 816 horsepower, after all, and can top out at around 245 miles per hour. What more could you want?

Well, that was before the new Agera came out. Now the previous-generation Koenigsegg suddenly seems a little outdated. So the UK’s Evo magazine – a publication blessed with a garage full of supercars – brought its CCR to the folks at Edo Competition for a little… enhancement.

The tuning house known for its custom Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches carefully went to work on Evo‘s Koenigsegg, remapping the ECU and tweaking the pair of superchargers. Then they massaged the transmission, reworked the gearing, upgraded the brakes, and enhaned the car’s appearance inside and out.

The result is 891 horsepower, re-calibrated to kick in at lower revs for quicker acceleration at the expense of top end. Follow the jump for all the details in the press release and check out the high-resolution images in the mega gallery below for a closer look.

Edo Competition transforms the Porsche Panamera Turbo into 750hp “Moby Dick”

Porsche Panamera Turbo “Moby Dick” by Edo Competition – Click above for high-res image gallery

Say what you will about its styling, but the Porsche Panamera Turbo is one of the most devastatingly fast four-door whatever-you-want-to-call-its on the market. But that’s just not enough for some people. And for those people, there are companies like Edo Competition.

The German tuner may be best known for customizing exotica like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but have this time focussed on the Panamera. Edo’s fitted a Mansory body kit for for a little extra visual oomph, but that’s hardly where the story ends.

Under the hood, the creation they call Moby Dick benefits from 50% increased output, from 500 horsepower stock to a whopping 750. That, according to Edo, should be enough to drive the Autobahn-crunching top speed up to 211 miles per hour, while dropping the 0-60 run down below four seconds. Well below, we’d figure.

A variable exhaust system, dropped suspension and 22-inch wheels round out the package, and buyers can specify from a range of interior options as well, all of which you can read about in the press release after the jump and the see in the image gallery below.
