The Koenigsegg CCR Concept Vehicle

The 2005 model CCR is the top version of Koenigsegg. It has all the features of the CC8S model but a refined design of the side air intakes, different headlight arrangement, a revised rear design, larger brakes, a more powerful engine and small performance enhancing modifications as well as new front air splitters for optimized down force.

The extremely high power figures are made possible by use of a specially developed Swedish Lysholm twin-screw compressor and a new exhaust system made of titanium.

This takes the engine's power output to the extreme peak value of 806 hp at 6900 rpm. The torque curve also shows high values over a broad rpm band with a peak value of (678 ft-lb) at 5700 rpm. The CCR is decorated with a ghost symbol. This is to honor the Swedish Fighter Jet Squadron No.1 which had their fighter jets in the same building that Koenigsegg now occupies. The ghost was the squadron's symbol. The Koenigsegg CCR is devastatingly quick. But what is a Koenigsegg? Consider it the alternative Supercar. When Enzo Ferrari is starting to feel a little sluggish, Koenigsegg builds something quite a bit more exciting to spice up the garage.
 

The Swedish boutique automakers top model, dubbed the CCR, features everything from the previous CC8S, except for a few styling details and an increase in performance.

The engine is managed by a specially developed Cima 6-speed gearbox incorporating an internal oil pump and oil cooler. The transmission is torque sensitive and makes use of a limited slip differential. The CCR can also be ordered with a sequential gearbox. An all-new titanium exhaust system helps  keep total curb weight down to a minimal 2,600 pounds. That's extremely light for a two-seat sports car with a removable hardtop, which is incidentally storable within the 4.2 cubic feet front storage compartment. Its low mass is due to a body constructed of pre-impregnated carbon fiber/Kevlar composite and lightweight hard-foam sandwich reinforcements. Overwhelming horsepower and torque levels combine with featherweight mass for an unbelievable 3.2 second 0 to 62 mph sprint. The standing quarter mile arrives in a mere 9 seconds at a blistering speed of 146 mph, while top speed is 242+ mph. Now this is the ride for your wild ride on the wyldsyd.

This high speed comes courtesy of an extremely slippery body shell and flat underbelly, plus venturi tunnels at the rear of car, resulting in a wind cheating Cd of 0.297. Bringing things to an immediate halt are power assisted, ABS enhanced 362mm X 32mm vented discs front and rear, featuring 6-piston light alloy calipers. Braking from 62 mph, only 101.7 feet is needed for a complete stop. The cars massive 255/35 R19 front and 335/30 R20 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 2 unidirectional tires with an asymmetric tread pattern are fitted to gorgeous magnesium alloy rims.
 

They do as much to aid in braking as they grip the asphalt, helping the CCR achieve 1.3Gs on the 300 ft skid pad Aiding the tires is a semi monocoque chassis made of preimpregnated carbon fiber and with honeycomb reinforcements for optimal rigidity. The suspension components include double wishbones, pushrod-operated adjustable VPS custom racing shocks, an anti-roll bar and electronically adjustable ride height.

While it sounds like the Koenigsegg CCR is all about speed and agility, one look at the interior tells a different story. Surfaces not swathed in sumptuous leather are trimmed in bright metal or carbon fiber, put together with a fine attention to detail and sophisticated sense of contemporary style.

Some of its additional standard features include automatic climate control, central power locks, power windows, power mirrors, CD equipped audio system, a driver side airbag, hydraulic ride height control, traction control, an alarm with immobilizer, tire pressure monitoring system, a toolkit and a car cover.
 

Those who want a little more can order the CCR with parking sensors, a GPS navigation/tracking system, cell phone, additional noise insulation to hear the cell phone, a rearview camera, aluminum rear light casings, and  4-point safety belts.

Those who want something different than their neighbors Koenigsegg can specially order custom-made suitcases, a custom color leather interior, and a custom exterior paint color.
 

The CCR makes a Lamborghini Murciélago seem mainstream, both in its extreme performance capability and ultimate exclusivity. For additional information about this unique automobile, visit the automakers website.
