General History
This car’s first public outing was at the Vienna Luxus Motor Show in January 2009. Just two months later it was exhibited at the Geneva International Motor Show 2009, introducing many new features and a world of bespoke options to the CCX line. The press release reads as follows:
2009 - An important year for Koenigsegg
Traditionally Koenigsegg presents exciting news at the Geneva Auto Salon. This year is no exception.
Koenigsegg is introducing;
- A new touch screen infotainment system
- Lightning fast ATM paddleshift system
- Electronic differential
- A new creation for the future....The Quant
The touchscreen Infotainment system sets new standards for the Supercar industry. This high-resolution, intuitive system features many exiting functions, for example;
- Global Sat Nav
- Bluetooth telephone
- Performance mode - G-force meter, lap timer, power Torque meter
- Climate control
- Music system, with radio and I-pod control
- Outdoor temp
- Warning and Hazard displays
- Setup control for: Chassis, Traction control, Paddelshift etc.
- GPS controlled interior lighting and music volume
The Infotainment system is modular and can be upgraded over time, with new exciting features as we envision them. It is a great platform for us to make the CCX even more communicative. For example, it will be possible for drivers to record lap times, power levels and G-forces. On the CCXR model it will be possible to read ethanol mixture and how much this effects the power level.
The ATM Paddelshift system features a completely new gearbox design, which has been developed for the CCX. The gearbox is engineered to take up to 1100 nm of torque and due to its transversal layout, it is about 30 cm shorter then the manual transaxle gearbox it replaces, which improves weight distribution. The gearbox features a revolutionary synchronization system that allows shift times of 30 milliseconds - a great improvement, compared to existing synchromesh system. Basically it is as fast as a dual clutch transmission, but reduced in size and weight – two important factors in a Supercar.
The gearbox also includes an electronic differential control. The E-diff, makes the car easier to drive on the limit of performance, and thereby enhances the experience to most drivers. The gearbox is controlled with ergonomic paddles mounted on the steering wheel. Koenigsegg believes this to be the most optimal solution, as the paddles follow the steering wheel movements at all times.
Custom Vision
An increasing number of Koenigsegg customers wish to make their car a “one of special”. Usually this means bespoke interior trimming, exterior colors and carbon areas, special wings, wheels and stereo systems or track biased chassis setting including race harnesses and so on.
In order to handle these specifc needs in an organized way, Koenigsegg has set up a program called Custom Vision. This program enables our customer to fulfll their wildest dreams through a production and development system that Koenigsegg has optimized over the years. For example Koenigsegg have two engineers on fulltime aleart ready to tackle any new and exiting challenge coming from our customer and to take these ideas through to production.
Each program is personally supervised by Chrisitan von Koenigsegg, that personally helps put the final touches to the features in accordance with the esteemed customers visions.
The car pictured below is just one of many examples to come. Here the customer had very specifc ideas about colors and carbon exposure.
After being exhibited at GIMS the car was delivered to Mexico where it was spotted rarely. It changed hands at least once after being offered for sale at different dealerships over the years. In 2016 fate struck and the car had a serious accident at high speed, ripping the car apart. Luckily both the driver and the passenger survived due to the strong carbon fiber monocoque. Rumor has it the parts were sent to Sweden to rebuild it, however we don’t have any evidence supporting or invalidating this story.
Exterior Spec
This CCX introduced the now iconic color Candy Apple Red on Koenigseggs. It has a wide clear carbon center stripe only found on #7070. It had many carbon accents such as the front splitter, mirrors, Top gear wing and more. The wheels were the classic nine spoke aluminium ones found on most CCX’s.
Interior Spec
The interior is black, using leather and alcantara, and is contrasted by red diamond stitching. It has the new infotainment screen and the chrono instrument cluster.
