Koenigsegg CCR is the extreme version of the CC. It exhibits several technological improvements to engine and chassis, as well as some new design features on the body. Most visible is the new headlight arrangement, the boldly shaped side air intakes and the rear air outlets. The CCR is also equipped with a front splitter to further optimize high speed aerodynamics.


Its enhanced performance has been achieved mainly through the development of the CCR engine, which is boosted by a new Lysholm supercharger and adorned by the masterpiece CCR Titanium Exhaust. The engine's power output reaches the extreme peak value of 806 hp at 6.900 rpm. The torque curve also shows very high figures over a broad revolution band with a peak value of 920 Nm (678 ftlb) at 5.700 rpm.


Other CCR technological specifics include the cutting edge brakes, new racing shock absorbers, a monocoque carbonfibre intake plenum, the CCR advanced throttle and the larger 19" front wheels. These modifications all contribute to place the CCR at the very top among the elite of supercars.

A silver ghost decorates each CCR vehicle. This is to honour the Swedish Fighter Jet Squadron No. 1, which left its premises to Koenigsegg after being shut down in 2003. The ghost was the symbol of the squadron. The Koenigsegg crew feels they have taken over the legacy of the squadron, and shows this by marking their latest creation with the same symbol.

How the hell do you pronounce "Koenigsegg?"

Koe - "oe" is pronounced somewhat like the "ea" in learn. Can't come up with a better similarity in english.
nigs - "i" is like in "in". G and s pronouced separetely.
egg - "e" is like the one in "edge"

The stress is on the first syllable.
