Koenigsegg CCX

The Koenigsegg CCX is a supercar developed by the Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg. It is a two-seater of advanced technology. It is the last vehicle incorporated into the Koenigsegg CC range. The CCX is practically a new car, since its engineering was completely redesigned in many respects to comply with US regulations. UU. This is due to high demand from that market.

The acronym CCX stands for "Competition Coupe X". The Koenigsegg CCX commemorates the tenth anniversary of the first test drive of the first Koenigsegg prototype, the CC.

Its predecessor model, the Koenigsegg CCR, enjoyed a Guiness record as the fastest production car in the world, reaching 395 km / h in 2005, later this record would be surpassed by the Bugatti Veyron.

Design
Both the body and the interior of the Koenigsegg CCX contain new parts. With a new front bumper design, designed to pass the rigorous bumper evaluation, the CCX incorporates other modifications that include brake cooling, fog lights and side position lights as required by US regulations. The headlights have been slightly redesigned to meet the new line of the bumper.

Technology
The Koenigsegg CCX offers optional ceramic disc brakes, 382 mm in diameter on the front wheels and 362 mm on the rear wheels. These brakes have jaws of 8 pistons in front and 6 behind. Each ceramic brake disc is 2 kilograms lighter than standard discs.

Another innovation is the optional carbon fiber tires. Again, each carbon rim is 3 kilograms lighter than magnesium alloy. Thus, the CCX saves 5 kilograms per wheel, becoming the car with the lowest weight on the ground. This is a way to differentiate the suspended mass from making contact with the ground.

The semi-monocoque chassis is built with pre-impregnated carbon fiber combined with honeycomb and Kevlar. This use of aerospace technology, increasingly applied in cars, allows to maintain low weight, reduce size while maintaining optimal structural rigidity for handling and high impact effectiveness.

Engine
Perhaps the most shocking of the work done on this engine, is that they managed to adapt it to 91 octane fuel and to the strict California pollution standards without sacrificing its original power. To do this, the cylinder heads were redesigned, adding more area for the actuation of the valves.

Other modifications are the new camshafts and the use of smaller double fuel injectors. The fuel tank was also replaced by a new one.

The Koenigsegg V8 engine has two superchargers. The block is made of aluminum and has four valves per cylinder plus double overhead camshaft. With 4.7 liters of displacement and a compression ratio of 8.2 to 1, the 806 hp engine accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.2 seconds and allows you to develop a maximum speed of 402 km / h.

Turquoise blue CCXR of the Al-Thani family stationed in London.
The Koenigsegg CCXR is an "environmentally friendly" version of the CCX, powered by basically the same V8 engine with two superchargers, but adapted for use with ethanol.2 The CCXR engine settings result in more power than in the CCX, producing 1018 hp (749 kW) at 7200 rpm and 1060 Nm (782 lb-ft) of torque at 6100 rpm, it has 25% more power than the CCX, making it the third most powerful production car in the world, after the SSC Ultimate Aero TT3 and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
