Marietta, GA:Mackey Marketing Group and Chet Burk Productions are pleased to announce that pre-production work has commenced on a television program documenting the history and the performance capabilities of the Swedish made “Koenigsegg CC” supercar.The special presentation is planned for broadcast in 2006 on SPEED Channel.

Recently, the Koenigsegg CCR version of the supercar set worldwide headlines when it achieved the milestone of the “fastest production” car in the world with a speed of 387.87 km/h besting the McLaren F1 supercar’s previous record of 386.7 km/h. The Koenigsegg Company believes that the final top speed of the CCR is projected to be closer to 395 km/h when timed on a longer straightaway.

“The story behind Koenigsegg is nearly as interesting as the car itself,” commented Brian Mackey, president of Mackey Marketing Group. “I am very pleased to be a part of the production team that is bringing this story to the broader U.S. audience. Many Americans have learned of the car, now they will get the chance to know the background on how this small Swedish manufacturer has turned the supercar world upside down!”
