CC S8
For 2002, Koenigsegg, a small Swedish manufacturer, have updated thier V8 supercar. Compared to the 2002 CC, the new CC S8 features lights that are now held in a single unit instead of triple unit clusters. Also gone is the rear wing which is now optional. Following the 2002 Geneva Motor Show, the first red Koenigsegg CC 8S was delivered to its' owner.
The Koenigsegg CC body and chassis are made of autoclaved epoxy pre-impregnated carbonfiber. The use of this material enables the car to be extremely strong, lightweight and completely resistant to corrosion.
The chassis is designed by composite engineers with experience from Formula One racing. It has a fully semi-monocoque self supporting center unit, that provides both world class rigidity and driver safety. It has 21 layers of carbonfiber varying between unidirectional and woven material, with intermediate spacing of aluminium honeycomb, as well as integrated tool grade solid aluminium joining points. The total weight of the semi-monocoque is a mere 62 kg.
The engine sits on top of a machined aluminium dry sump unit that also act as a supporting beam for the rear subframe. This milled aluminium subframe contains the Cima gearbox and supports the power transmission and suspension systems. It is kept rigidly in place by chromemolybdenium rods that are bolted to the chassis.
The specially developed semi-stressed supercharged and intercooled Quad Cam 4 valve 4.7l V8 engine delivers 655 smooth horsepowers at 6,800 rpm and 750 nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. Its very low weight, only 240 kg, has been achieved with the use of carbonfiber, titanium and aeroplane specified aluminium alloy. Carbonfiber valve and timing covers save about 12 kg compared to conventional materials. This combined with its small outer dimensions makes it ideal for use in a super car.
The centrifugal supercharging system is coupled to a large size intercooler with lightweight carbonfiber ducts and end-tanks. The intercooler manages to lower the charged intake air temperature from 150 degrees C to a mere 60 degrees C, allowing for a 1.2 bar boost pressure with a compression ratio of 8.6:1.
The specially developed gearbox by Cima relies heavily on experience from racing, even Formula One. The 6 speed gearbox is probably the strongest and most reliable transaxle gearbox ever built for a mid engine car. The gearbox incorporates an internal oil pump for reliable lubrication, and a large oil cooler, so that it can take the strain from the brutal force of the engine. The final gear ratio is calculated to propel the car close to 400 km/h at 7300 rpm.
The body of the Koenigsegg CC 8S has been designed to incorporate the unique easy access removable and stowable hardtop. Pulling two handles from within unlocks the lightweight carbonfiber roof panel. The hardtop can now easily be removed and placed in the front luggage compartment, where it fits perfectly.

The Koengsegg CCR
Koenigsegg CCR is the extreme version of the CC. It exhibits several technological improvments to engine and chassis, as well as some new design features on the body. Most visable 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 (601 Kw) at 6.900 rpm. The torque curve also shows very high figures over a broad revolution band with a peak value of 678 ft.lbs. (920 Nm) 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 inch front wheels. These modifications all contribute to place the CCR at the very top among supercars.
Lysholm Twin-Screw Compressor
The Koenigsegg CCR engine is equipped with a Lysholm Screw Compressor, which has several advantages to the common centrifugal compressor. It creates a higher boost-pressure at lower rpm, thus significately increasing both acceleration and control at low speed. Lag time during shifts and on-off throttling are reduced to a minimum. The twin screw principle is also highly energy efficient, which contributes to the extreme power and torque of the CCR machine. Boost-pressure in the CCR carbonfibre plenum reaches levels as high as 1.3 bar, considerably higher than that of any competitor. The Lysholm supercharger is the alone on the market today to combine both a positive displacement design for maximum low-end torque and highly effiecient top-end horsepower output. Also emission levels at high speed and boost are lower than with other turbo- and supercharging systems.
VPS Shock Absorbers
To further enhance the unmatched road holding and handling of the Koenigsegg suspension set-up, the CCR is equipped with new shock absorbers, custom built and developed for the Koenigsegg CCR by VPS, Italy. These shocks are produced only in small series for racing purposes and have the advantage of greater adaptability and lower weight than any other on the market. These superb shocks also allow extensive fine tuning to suit the racetrack or driver preferences. Koenigsegg test driver Loris Biccochi, world-renowned for his expertise in motoring, has personally participated in the development of the CCR shocks. Their appearance is equally striking; all parts are of machined metal, the surface is of titanium coloured anodized aluminium.
CCR Cylindrical Throttle
The Koenigsegg team of engineers has implemented Formula One technology in the construction of the Koenigsegg CCR Cylindrical Throttle. It is a vital part of their effort to optimize intake air flow to the engine and reduce drag to a minimum. The amount of intake air is controlled by the precise rotation of a cylinder, through which an oval channel leads air into the plenum. This unique barrel-design greatly increases the sensitivity and response at low-end throttling, while at the high-end the perfectly unobstructed flow of air generates a higher horsepower output. It has been developed to work in perfect harmony with the Lysholm Screw Compressor, which creates such a high boost-pressure as to make ordinary throttles unstable. The massive metal cylinder is also very effective in dampening the whistle-like sound from the compressor below certifiable levels. For patent reasons we unfortunately cannot exhibit any images of this device.
Carbonfibre Air Intake Plenium
The Koenigsegg CCR engine incorporates an air intake plenum chamber made of carbonfibre. It was designed and modelled by Koenigsegg engineers exclusively for the CCR. It helps to increase the engines perfomance in a number of ways; it lowers the weight of the car by around 11 kg, it provides a more aerodynamic flow of air into the engine and moves the pressure centre closer to the cylinders, thus decreasing throttle lag time. The plenum is shaped to allow a stream of cooling air pass between it and the engine block in order to keep the charged intake air as cool as possible.

The plenum is shaped to allow a stream of cooling air pass between it and the engine block in order to keep the charged intake air as cool as possible.
Titanium Exhaust System
The CCR has a full titanium exhaust system. Besides the aestetic splendour of this multi-coloured shimmering metal, it brings several advantages to this record-braking supercar. Titanium is a material with the strength of steel and the lightness of aluminium, yet it is virtually insensitive to high temperature. Using this exquisite metal enables the construction of an exhaust system out of very thin material without adding extra heat insulation, which adds to the efficiency of the catalytic converters. The CCR Titanium Exhaust weighs less than half of its stainless steel predecessor. It is also slightly refined both in the design of the manifolds and the position of the cats, in order to further minimize drag. This unmatched exhaust system was designed and developed by Koenigsegg and the titanium parts are custom made exclusively for Koenigsegg in Sweden. The brutal yet sophisticated roar of the CCR ows much to this exhaust, the very hard and thin metal emits a crystal clear interpretation of that wonderful noise.
CCR Brakes
The Koenigsegg CCR brakes are specially developed for the model by AP-Racing. They feature a new technology that ensures perfectly intact braking capacity depite the unavoidable termal shifts in the brake-disc. The discs are not mounted in a fixed position to the wheels, but are allowed to move a fraction of a millimeter in all directions, i.e. what is called floating mount. This serves to absorb any termal shift, which in combination with the Koenigsegg brake ventilation system makes the brakes exeptionally stable at any driving (racing) condition. Koenigsgg has chosen to go against the currently trendy ceramic or ceramic-composite discs. Such materials are new and exiting, but has as of yet not proven neither as reliable nor as subtle as using steel alloy for brake discs.
CCR Aerodynamics
The body of the CCR shows some new features when compared with the CC 8S. Most notable are the redesigned side air intakes and the new headlights. The air intakes' new shape is an improvement both aestetically and aerodynamically. This design allows more air to be pulled into the cavity and increases the air pressure on the actual cooler, which makes the oil cooler and intercooler work more efficiently.
The CCR is also equipped with a front splitter made of carbonfibre. It funcions as a dividing plane that determines which part of the air-flow that shall pass above or below the vehicle. The purpose is to better define the jetstream that rushes in under the car and builds up the venturi effect, which glues the car to the ground. A fluctuating or turbulent such jet-stream causes the downforce to be unstable, which can result in a loss of road holding during high speed cornering. This discrete splitter is also designed to increase frontal downforce, both by pushing more air upwards and toward the sides and by prolonging the curvature of the integrated wing on the underside of the bumper. Airpressure on the main radiator and brake cooling inlets is also greater,which further enhances the excellent performance of the Koenigsegg CCR.
For racing purposes Konigsegg has developed the Twin Fin Wings, a pair of triangular fin-like wings made of carbonfibre. They are mounted horizontally on the rear hood and leaves a gap between them to allow the driver better rear view. They can easily be removed if the drives so prefers. Their purpose is to increase rear downforce, which is not necessary in other than the extremest of racing circumstances, since the design of the rear hood with its integrated wing in itself provides sufficient downforce. These wings are therefore a customer option, and they are delivered coloured or in clear-coat carbon according to the buyer' s choice.
Swedish Fighter Jet Squadron No. 1
A silver ghost decorates each CCR vehicle. This is to honour the Swedish Fighter Jet Squadron No. 1, which left its localities 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.

At 1st it was only theory (top speed) but from what I heard they actually finally tested it and achieved teh topspeed toppling Enzo and setting a record. Top gear has a review on it...and it lost to the zonda by .5 mph...but thats only bcasue the runway wasnt long enough.Striker187 said:
