Koenigsegg CCR


The Koenigsegg CCR is based on the Koenigsegg CC8S but is more powerful and has better performance. The more powerful engine of the prototype was made possible by the use of a Lysholm twin-screw supercharger and a titanium exhaust system. This takes the power output to a maximum of 896 hp (668 kW; 908 PS) at 6,900 rpm[. Torque is also distributed evenly and peaks at 920 N·m (680 ft·lbf) at 5,700 rpm. This car was the first production vehicle to sport a horsepower gauge- it has since been joined by the Bugatti Veyron

The manufacturers claimed in 2005 when the car was released that the CCR is the fastest road car in the world, with a theoretical top speed of more than 394.2 km/h (244.9 mph) however, this has since been beaten by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in June 2010 with a top speed of 431 km/h (268 mph).

On February 28, 2005, at 12.08 local time, the Koenigsegg CCR broke the production road car speed record, achieving a new official top speed of 387.37 km/h (240.70 mph) at hoi Italy's Nardo Prototipo proving ground. A team of five Koenigsegg engineers and mechanics together with founder Christian von Koenigsegg ran a technically standard CCR, driven by famous supercar test driver and veteran record breaker Loris Bicocchi.

The Koenigsegg CCR is an automobile made by Koenigsegg. Designed and manufactured in Ängelholm, Sweden, it debuted at the 2004 Geneva Auto Show. It briefly held the world speed record for a production car. The CCR is currently the fourth fastest production car in the world, behind theBugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg CCX and the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.
