The Koenigsegg CCXR is the latest iteration of the CC series of supercars from Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg. The CCXR is identical to the CCX, except that the V8 engine has been tuned to use Ethanol Fuel. Koenigsegg promise that existing CCX customers will be able to have their CCXs converted to the same engine specification as the CCXR.
Features
Engine
The CCXR is powered by a Koenigsegg designed and assembled, all aluminium, 4.7L DOHC 32-valve V8 engine based on the Ford Modular architecture enhanced with twin Rotrex centrifugal superchargers with response system, 1.5 bar ( 21.8 psi) boost pressure and an 8.2:1 compression ratio. The engine produces 1018 hp (759 kW) and 740 lbf·ft (1060 N·m) on Ethanol Fuel E85 (15% of gasoline). Thus being more powerful than the 2007 Bugatti 16/4 Veryon. The engine is lubricated via a dry sump with external oil pump, features oil spray piston cooling, and an external oil cooler. The CCXR's engine is nearly identical to the CCX's except for being able to run on biofuel.
Transmission
Specially developed 6-speed gearbox by Cima. Torque sensitive, limited slip differential
Body
Two-door, two seater with removable hardtop stowable under the front hood lid. Body made of pre-impregnated carbon fibre/Kevlar and lightweight sandwich reinforcements. The dihedral synchro-helix actuation doors are a unique piece of engineering from Koenigsegg, which allow for maximum efficiency of space when parked. In outwards appearance the CCXR is identical to the CCX except for the insignia.
