Koenigsegg CCR Design Sport Car Concept

Koenigsegg CCR Design Sport Car Concept

Koenigsegg design aims to give an interpretation of strength and flowing movement. The body of a Koenigsegg is formed for one ultimate aim, speed. Both the body and chassis of a Koenigsegg are made of lightweight composite carbon fiber, reinforced with Kevlar and aluminum honeycomb. Not surprisingly, the downside is very low downforce, just 50kg front and 70kg at the back. For comparison, an Enzo generates 775kg while Pagani produces 500kg. The entire body is carbon fiber.

Koenigsegg design aims to give an interpretation of strength and flowing movement. The body of a Koenigsegg is formed for one ultimate aim, speed. Its beauty is the beauty of speed itself. The surfaces are shaped to perfectly aerodynamic, something that does not deceive. All aspects of this machine serve its one fundamental objective with. Both the body and chassis of a Koenigsegg are made of lightweight composite carbon fiber, reinforced with Kevlar and aluminum honeycomb. Its race-bred suspension system brings the driver in control of every movement, even under the most difficult race.
The car was designed by Christian von Koenigsegg himself but its shape is largely dictated by aerodynamics. It is not so surprising as Enzo and Pagani. In some corners it seems too bulky, like a great whale. But the whale has a sense of power that can not be found in one of his rivals. Due to the targeted top speed, the body is designed to be so delicate that a very low drag coefficient of 0.30. This is much lower than Enzo (0.36), SLR (0.37) and the Carrera GT (0.39). Not surprisingly, the downside is very low downforce, just 50kg front and 70kg at the back.
For comparison, an Enzo generates 775kg while Pagani produces 500kg.
The frame is built like other supercar. Central to it is a carbon fiber tub (Koenigsegg called "semi-monocoque") attached with steel subframe at the front and the rear aluminum subframe to mount the engine, gearbox and suspension. Chassis rigidity is 28,100 Nm per degree, despite the roof plate. The entire body is carbon fiber. Koenigsegg says a dry weight of 1175 kg, which translates to 1275kg when fluid and fuel are loaded, ie, that which usually refer to "tare". In other words, is about CC8S light as Pagani and Saleen S7, whilst being around 100 kilograms lighter than Enzo and Carrera GT.

Koenigsegg Agera is powered by Twin Turbo engine with 910 hp in term of running on regular petrol. Coming on to the major details, based on the regular CC, the Koenigsegg Agera boasts of a 4.7-liter twin turbocharged V8 producing 910 PS (669 kW/898 hp) at 6850 rpm and 1100 Nm (811 lb-ft) at 5100 rpm. There is over 1000 nm of torque available from 2680 to 6100 rpm.

To balance this, the Agera features the latest in braking technology with 392×36 and 380×34 ventilated and drilled ceramic discs. When combined with a dry weight of just 2,832 lbs and the sequential gearbox the Agera can sprint to 100 km/h in as little as 3.1 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 8.9 seconds and blast on to a top speed of 245+ mph. As well, new traction control is fitted with auto adapt functionality for different road conditions and driving styles as well as several manual settings.

Beside the new engine performance, Koenigsegg also features the new Koenigsegg Agera stitching and seams for Agera interior and has developed a new type of interior illumination, which shines through the billet aluminum buttons and surfaces by way of invisible nanotubes.

The Koenigsegg Sports Car Agera will be produced in parallel to the Award winning CCX and CCXR models. The pre-production show car will be put through its phases for the coming six month prior to the production car launch of the Agera. Pricing details have not been revealed as of now but it is being said that the supercar maker will bring a pre-production model of the Agera to the Swiss Motor Show.
