Finally, le Salon de l'Auto Genčve 2006 is around the corner. And that means the Koenigsegg CCX is to be shown in the public for the first time. Unfortunately, the release of the CCX might not mean much to many people because it's pretty much like the CCR.
It has the same power output as the CCR. It generates the same torque output as the CCR. It does 0-62mph in 3.2 sec, like the CCR. The top speed too is supposed to be similar, if not same, according to Koenigsegg, although Koenigsegg website says that CCX takes almost a second to 1/4mile. So it's not exactly the 1000hp, 260mph car that's going to silence Bugatti Veyron once and for all.
There are good things, though. For example, CCX has been created to meet the ludicrously harsh US regulations. In fact, the CCX just may be the US version of the CCR. (dur.) Which means one thing: You can buy one if you have a spare $540,000!!! and $60,000 more if you want the fully loaded CCX.
Frankly, I think the changes made to the CCR to make it into the US friendly CCX made it less pretty, but only slightly. For example, you get new headlights, new rearlight details, new front bumper, new rear bumper, which sticks out more, and you get more slashes in the body work. And compulsory for US cars, turn indicators on each corner of the car.
CCX comes with other new fancy stuff as well. According to Koenigsegg website, CCX has a new "vortex generator" that lets the engine suck in air without having those cumbersome air intake scoops. ("cough, Bugatti Veyron") Also you can get ceramic brakes and the most amazing thing about it in my opinion, Carbon Fiber Wheels!!!. It's a first-ever.
Anyways, in conclusion, CCX is (from what I can figure) a US-spec CCR that's a bit slower than CCR and is less aerodynamic than the CCR and is less attractive than CCR, and well, the price, we'll have to see the currency exchange rates when it can really be bought by someone.
*I decided not to follow up on the CCX in Las Vegas topic because i thought it was a completely separate subject.
