New Koenigsegg CCX - Pictures
Showcasing the super cool car, the Koenigsegg CCX. The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined roadster from Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg priced at $545,568. It was awarded one of the 10 Most Beautiful Cars by Forbes Magazine. The CCX can accelerate from 0–62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds and from 0–124 mph (200 km/h) in 9.8 seconds.

New Koenigsegg CCX
The Cool Koenigsegg CCX is a very cool car! Until last year, Koenigsegg was a little known independent supercar manufacturer quietly toiling away in northern Sweden.
It took a decade, but last year their CCR model took the Guinness World Record for speed in a production car, granting them the attention and accolades of car fans around the world.
Now, the new kings of Swede speed have released the CCX, which is street- and emissions-legal in the U.S. Including the world's largest supercar market, California. Not to worry, the CCX maintains the CCR's incredible 245 mph speed rating.

The CCX was first unveiled on February 28, 2006 at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show although its existence was announced earlier. A derivative known as the CCXR is available, the main difference being that CCXR's engine is tuned to run on biofuel. The different fuel and tune allows the CCXR to produce 25% more power than the CCX.

2011 Koenigsegg Sports Car Agera - Celebrate 15 Years
Geneva Motor Show 2010 - The new Koenigsegg Agera. To celebrate 15 years of making dream cars, Koenigsegg unleash their latest jewel, the Koenigsegg Agera. A new supercar aimed to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level, both on the road and the track.
2011 Koenigsegg Agera
The Agera is on display at the 80th Salon International de l’Auto in Geneva. The Agera shares some styling tweaks that are similar to the CCX and owes its name to the Swedish translation of “to act”, thus symbolizing the Koenigsegg philosophy of always improving its cars and pushing its designs to the limit.
2011 Koenigsegg Agera
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.

Koenigsegg’s designers have tried to push through some difference via the slightly modified front and rear bumpers. However the car’s carbon-Kevlar body, removable top that stores into the bonnet and aluminum honeycomb reinforced carbon fiber chassis, all keep it close to the outgoing CCX.

The distinguishable additions are the all-new carbon fibre center console and tunnel assembly and the new type of ambient lighting called “Ghost Lights” where illumination shines through the car’s billet aluminum buttons and surfaces by way of invisible nanotubes.

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.
2011 Koenigsegg Agera
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. According to GTSpirit, just 16-20 Agera models will be built each year, starting later this year.

Koenigsegg CCR Design Sport Car Concept
Koenigsegg CCR Design Sport Car ConceptKoenigsegg's design seeks to give an interpretation of strength and flowing motion. The body of a Koenigsegg is formed for one ultimate purpose; speed. Its beauty is the beauty of speed itself. The surfaces are shaped to perfectly aerodynamic, an appearance that does not deceive. All aspects of this machine serve its one fundamental objective. Both the body and chassis of a Koenigsegg are made of extremely lightweight carbon fibre composite, reinforced with Kevlar and aluminium honeycomb. Its race-bred suspension system brings the driver in control of all movement, even under the toughest racing conditions.
The car was styled by Christian von Koenigsegg himself but its shape is largely dictated by aerodynamics. It is not as striking as Pagani or Enzo. At some angles it even looks bulky, like a big whale. But the whale delivers a sense of power that you can't find in its rivals either. Because of the targeted top speed, the body is designed to be so smooth that it has a very low drag coefficient of 0.30. This is much lower than Enzo (0.36), SLR (0.37) and Carrera GT (0.39). Unsurprisingly, the downside is a rather low downforce, just 50kg at the front and 70kg at the back. For comparison, an Enzo generates 775kg while Pagani achieves 500kg.
The chassis is constructed like other supercars. Central to it is a carbon-fiber tub (Koenigsegg called it "semi-monocoque") attached with steel subframe up front and aluminum subframe at the rear for mounting engine, gearbox and suspensions. Chassis rigidity is 28,100Nm per degree despite of the targa roof. The whole bodyshell is also carbon-fiber. Koenigsegg claims a dry weight of 1175kg, which translates to 1275kg when fluid and fuel are loaded, i.e., what we usually refer to "kerb weight". In other words, CC8S is about as light as Pagani and Saleen S7, while being around 100 kilograms lighter than Enzo and Carrera GT.
