in 2007, the ccx was the fastest car to complete top gear's power lap with a time of 1:17.6 (until it was beaten by the ascari a10 with a time of 1:17.3). the car originally lapped the circuit in 1:20.4, but was then fitted with an optional rear wing to provide downforce after the stig spun it off the track at 130 mph due to a power steering failure. the stig purportedly recommended this modification, predicting that the car would then be the fastest ever round "top gear"'s track but koenigsegg later stated that the improvement was due to adjustments to the chassis and suspension settings and not the addition of the rear spoiler. despite this, the stig's spoiler-idea remained the credited reason for the improved lap time. the name of the car on the lap board as "koeniggggsenisseggsegnignigsegigiseg ccx2 with the top gear wing", reportedly because none of the top gear presenters knew how to spell koenigsegg, and also poking fun at the long and hard pronunciation of the manufacturer's name.
