The engine was built to last and to be driven to the limit on a daily basis.
At the same time, it complied with the toughest emission regulations worldwide. The 806 Bhp engine, developed and assembled by Koenigsegg, delivered unmatched power in terms of its size and weight. 7011 was also heavily featured in period. Finished in dramatic Lava Orange over a bespoke color-matched interior, 7011 is the exact CCR Koenigsegg unveiled to the public at the 2004 Geneva International Motor Show. The CCX engine laid the foundation for all Koenigsegg engines to come after. This 2004 Koenigsegg CCR, chassis number 7011, is the third CCR example produced and is built upon the 11th carbon fiber chassis completed by the factory (hence its VIN designation). The CCX was the first Koenigsegg to move away from a Ford engine block based design. There were no gadgets or unnecessary features on the car – only elements that actively contribute to efficiency and purity. Every aspect of the CCX served a fundamental purpose. It was built to maximize both top speed and efficiency. The award-winning aerodynamics of the CCX transmitted the strength and fluidity of its design. The record-breaking CCX was developed to deliver superior performance – both on the track and on the road. The performance of the car was staggering, as shown on the famous BBC program, Top Gear, where the CCX took the lap record that lasted for years. This was a great challenge for a small company like Koenigsegg. The CCX was designed to comply with global safety and environmental regulations, making it eligible for sale anywhere in the world. Even though the CCX in many ways looked like an evolution from the CCR, it was truly a completely new car, almost no components were carried over. Fuses and relays were based on semiconductor technology instead of physical fuses and relays. The electrical system was now fully digital. The roof line was raised, the bumpers and lighting was changed. The chassis was enlarged to also suit “the American” market. All body and chassis tooling was designed in 3D cad and cut by CNC machines, instead of being hand modelled and built, like the previous models. It was the first Koenigsegg that was truly designed with the latest and greatest tools available. The CCX was the third generation car from Koenigsegg.
