29 CCX were manufactured from 2006 - 2010 by Koenigsegg® with the idea to engineer and to design a supercar with global safety standards and complying to the environmental regulations of the U.S.A. market and especially complying to the strict regulations of California and therefore being very attractive for potential customers of supercars from the U.S.A.
The previously Ford® Modular engine used in CCR/CC8S was replaced by an engine which is developed and designed by Koenigsegg®. The engine is capable to run on 91 octane gasoline and therefore meets Californian emission standards.
The 4.7-Liter-Twin-Supercharged-V8-Koenigsegg®-Engine offers 806 hp (817 PS; 601 kW) at 7000 rpm and 920 Nm (679 lb-ft) of torque at 5500 rpm. The CCX reached above 395km/h – 245 mph.
The CCX is offered with an option of two transmissions: the 6-speed manual CIMA® transmission or a 6-speed sequential manual transmission. A torque sensitive limited slip differential leads the immense power to the rear wheels.
Two different types of wheels are offered: Carbon fibre wheels, the first carbon fibre wheels in the industry, 3 kg – 6.6 lb lighter than the standard forged alloy wheels. The new rims have 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear as diameter with Michelin® Pilot Sport 2 tyres mounted, centre locking as before. Lighter carbon ceramic brakes are saving another 2 kg – 4.4lb compared to the previous brakes.
A special version of the CCX model was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2008: the CCX-Edition and CCXR, both with a4.8-liter-supercharged-V8 engine offering 888 hp (900 PS; 662 kW) resulting in a top speed above 400 km/h – 249 mph on normal gasoline. 350 kg – 772 lb of downforce at 250 km/h – 155 mph are achieved by a lower chassis made of bare carbon, stiffer springs, new dampers, a unique rear wing, larger front splitter with side winglets and aluminium wheels.
The three letters CCX are the abbreviations for CC and the number 10 from the ancient roman way of writing numbers. 10 as for the 10th anniversary of the completion and test driving of the very first prototype in 1996.
