This Ain't Your Grandpa's Ford Granada but a 1,700hp Koenigsegg CCX Powered Zzzleeper…

There's nothing really special about the second generation of the European Ford Granada that was built from 1977 to 1985, which is probably why one owner in Britain chose it for a sleeper project.

Putting aside a handful of 1980s aero bits, the only other interesting bit about the exterior of this Granada are the Zzz-Zzz license plates.

Pop up the hood, however, and it's an entirely different story as this puppy has been fitted with 4.7-liter Ford V8 sourced from a Koenigsegg CCX supercar that is good for a whopping 1,700-horsepower!

Accelerating Koenigsegg CCX Scares Woman in Monaco

While some would be filled with joy if they heard the screeching sounds of an accelerating Koenigsegg CCX's twin-supercharged V8, others, like this young woman in Monaco, could be in for a fright.

A short but entertaining video follows after the break.

Koenigsegg Presents Updated 2013 Agera Range at the Geneva Auto Salon

Making its world premiere today at the 82nd Geneva International Auto Show is the 2013 Koenigsegg Agera range that consists of the regular model and the more extreme 'R' variant.

The company that was founded in 1994 in Sweden by Christian von Koenigsegg has presented a number of updates to its Agera supercar for the new model year.

Beginning with the common changes, both versions of the Agera gain a new, in-house developed engine management system, which is claimed to provide added functionality whilst still meeting all OBD II regulations, and a standard electronic stability program.
