Koenigsegg - CCXR - Sales Brochure - 2007 - 2007 (2)

Strong feelings and emotions are deeply embedded into every aspect of our cars. We have painstakingly honed each detail to perfection for ultimate lightness, using only the best ideas, materials and technology available, and we have combined this with the kind of ingenuity that only small, focused, passionate companies can have. In the creative process only the best will suffice. All our available time, emotion and resources have been spent. Nothing has been spared – everything has been ventured and sacrificed – in the name of beauty, perfection and speed. I truly feel that our cars have souls. We at Passion Koenigsegg have poured our hearts into the creation of these cars, and we believe that you can experience this when driving one. - I sincerely hope you get the chance soon! Christian v. Koenigsegg Evolution Exceeded Koenigsegg CCX is pure design on four wheels. It exudes class, style, and aggression. And it’s probably the best overall performer ever to come off a production line. It travels from a standing start to 100 km/h in a devastating, adrenaline-draining 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of over 395 km/h. Driving a CCX is about controlling your instincts, sharpening your reflexes, and commanding respect from the head turning crowd as this beautiful beast roars past. CCX stands for Competition Coupe 10. It’s the celebration of 10 years of Koenigsegg supercars Hot tempered at 395 km/h that have been without equal since their first conception back in 1996. Koenigsegg CCX isn’t just a supercar, it’s a Norse Spirit of Thunder harnessing raw power. Unleash the Fury Koenigsegg CCX is the ultimate sports machine. It’s stiffer, faster and nimbler than its predecessors or any other performance supercar. The chassis is built from extremely lightweight carbon fibre composite. Reinforced with Kevlar and aluminium honeycomb for even greater performance. The race-bred Koenigsegg Advanced Control System (KACS) keeps the driver in total control of every movement, even under the toughest racing or road conditions. The CCX can be adjusted to suit every individual driving style, from the adrenalin rush of the racetrack to Volcanic Emotions comfort settings for your long-haul tour. Unbridled There is not a car on earth that provokes the same reaction as the CCX.

The roof is easily detached and stowed in the front luggage bay, so you can delight in the alfresco feel of a cabriolet sportscar, or easily transform the CCX back into a sleek supercar. Cockpit Just a light press on the accelerator pedal gives a forewarning of what is to come. The engine roars like a volcano ready to erupt. The slightest push on the Koenigsegg Advanced Control System brakes brings an instant response. Sitting in the cockpit, drivers can be excused if they feel like they are in a small fighter jet. The circular main control panel has a zodiac of multicoloured lights and stainless steel buttons. The metal parts are made of machined and anodized aluminium, giving them a frost like sheen that makes them stand out against the leather and carbon background. Alcantara covers the roof, backwall and the muscle-like lower Controlling awesome power with the lightest touch sections of the doors, and provide a contrast to the composition. The main instrument cluster is mounted conveniently around the steering column so that it always faces the driver. It is designed to be fully visible through the upper spokes of the steering wheel, giving drivers the best possible view. The Heart in the Right Place The CCX is powered by a unique Koenigsegg custom-built engine. Semistructural and placed in the centre of the car for perfect balance and handling, the 4.7 litre twin supercharged V8 engine generates a staggering 806 Bhp at 6.900 rpm. The new block is made from super-lightweight 356 aluminium that is T7 heat treated. The engine incorporates the most powerful internal piston coolers in the industry – bringing down the piston temperature by as much as 40% compared to rival engines and together with the uniquely contoured combustion chamber enabling Core power it to run high cylinder pressure with 91 octane fuel. The CCX has OBD II - Diagnostics and complies with the strictest emission regulations in the world. For the Record The CCX has proved itself time and time again, breaking record after record. It has been tried and tested by some of the world’s most demanding motor critics, on racetracks and on public roads. It has demonstrated that it longs to be driven on the track, and at the same time can consume back roads and rolling country lanes effortlessly and comfortably like no other supercar. The CCX has reigned supreme on some of the world’s toughest circuits. Nürburgring – speed record Top Gear – speed record Breathtaking force that only nature can surpass Nardo – speed record Sport Auto – slalom record Sport Auto – 0–300–0 km/h record Sport Auto – 0–200–0 km/h record Sport Auto – 0–200 km/h record Sport Auto – Hockenheim speed record Its predecessor, the CCR, held the Guinness Record as the world’s fastest production car. CCXR The CCXR will take you to an entirely new level of performance. It is a derivative of the CCX, with a highly modified engine that can run on E85 and E100 Biofuel as well as normal 98 octane petrol (Europe). When run on regular petrol, the 4.7 litre twin-supercharged Koenigsegg engine delivers 806 Bhp, but this figure rises to an exhilarating 1018 Bhp when the car is run on E85 Biofuel. The CCXR is the first green supercar in the world and thereby sets a good example for others to follow. Since the ethanol in E85 has a much higher The first green supercar octane rating and internal cooling capacity, the engine can run with higher compression, boost pressure and more spark advance whilst still maintaining the same exhaust temperature. The ultimate limited edition The CCX Edition and CCXR Edition The Koenigsegg Edition has been created to break records. Our aim with the Edition is to deliver superior performance - on the track, in a straight line and on country roads - and to do so in style and comfort. According to our comparative studies, no other supercar can match the Edition in terms of powerto-weight ratio, aerodynamic balance, down force and chassis stiffness. At the same time, the Edition maintains the CCX’s fantastic drivability and its ability to absorb uneven road surfaces like no other supercar. Both models are fitted with a remapped, 4.8 litre twin-supercharged Koenigsegg engine, and have been track-tuned by the inclusion of modified shock absorbers, stiffer springs and anti-roll bars, reset dampers and a lowered chassis. aluminium trim and redesigned Koenigsegg Chronocluster and centre console combine with our unique forged aluminium wheel design to confirm the Edition’s exclusive status. Standing beside the car, you would be forgiven for thinking it is already in motion – such is the dynamic presence of this breathtakingly stunning vehicle. The Edition comes with the free option of Michelin Cup Tyres, and a unique set of wheels designed to optimise their size and characteristics. These state-of-the-art tyres reduce braking distance, deliver faster acceleration from standstill and higher cornering G-force in dry conditions. The CCX Edition runs on regular petrol and produces 888 Bhp, whilst the CCXR Edition has been modified as a bioflexfuel car, and can run on E85, E100, regular 98 octane petrol (Europe) or a mixture of the three. When run solely on petrol, Downforce has been enhanced by the addition of the engine produces 888 Bhp, but the higher an optimised rear wing, front winglets, a larger octane E85 fuel makes higher compression, boost front splitter and nolder, all of which have been pressure and increased spark advance possible, designed to create as much downforce as possible. enabling the engine to deliver a staggering 1018 Bhp. In total the Edition produces over 350 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. maintaining the same exhaust temperature. For the first time we can offer paddle-shift as an option for the Edition cars.

Koenigsegg test track in Sweden and on various EDITION The exquisite leather interior, specially anodised proving grounds in Europe. The clean, Scandinavian design is accentuated by the clear lacquered finish, which reveals the bold, linear beauty of the carbon fibre construction. Each individual section of carbon fibre bodywork has been painstakingly matched, and then joined together inside out like a bespoke suit to create a stunning pinstripe effect. The process is so timeconsuming that it takes almost twice as much time to make an Edition clear-coated body finish as it does to make a normal painted finish. Production of the cars will be strictly limited: just 14 of the CCX Edition and 6 of the CCXR Edition will be made. Intelligent Power Not only do our cars produce massive amounts of power, but they also produce what we at Koenigsegg call Intelligent Power. No other production car on earth has the same power to fuel consumption average that a Koenigsegg achieves. We harness the energy in the fuel in a more careful way then any other car, supercar or not. Koenigsegg cars also create more power per litre of engine capacity than any other production car in the world, thanks to the intelligent design that lies within our engines. In addition to Intelligent Power this, a Koenigsegg has a more optimal power to weight ratio compared to all other homologated cars, and even meets the strict emission levels of California, USA. Custom While retaining its unique exterior style and performance, every Koenigsegg car is handmade to your exact specifications.
