Koenigsegg-CCR


Koenigsegg CCR (2004 - present) The Koenigsegg CCR is a supercar and automobile manufactured by Koenigsegg. Designed and manufactured in Ängelholm, Sweden, it was first displayed at the 2004 Auto Show in Geneva. For a short time it held the World Speed record for a production vehicle







Based on the Koenigsegg CC8S the CCR features more power and much higher performance. The improved-power engine of the prototype was made feasible by the utilization of a Lysholm twin-screw (supercharger) and a new titanium exhaust system. This brought the power output up to a maximum of 806 hp at 6,900 revs per minute. Torque is also evenly distributed and peaks at 920 N·m (678 ft·lbf) at 5,700 revs per minute. This car was the very first production car to sport a horsepower gauge - it has now been joined by the Bugatti Veyron.

However, this supercharger is not actually used in production cars. The CCR (production model)is equipped with dual centrifugal compressors which are built by Rotrex instead. It provides the same output, but the peak torque point is lowered from 5,700 to 5,400 rpm.







On the exterior the CCR looks very similar to the CC8S, but it does additionally feature a new side air-intake design, as well as a tweaked headlight arrangement, plus a revised rear-end, bigger brakes, more power and new front splitters for optimized downforce. The CCR is a two-seat coupe (Like the CC8S) with a mid-engine, featuring large, high-tech dihedral synchro-helix actuation doors that open by rotating forward and up.
