  • Koenigsegg CCX in Australia for Sale – $1.3 million AUD

    The only one Koenigsegg CCX in Australia is currently available for sale. The hyper-car is located in New South Wales and can be had for “just $1.3 million AUD (around $1.2 USD).The odometer has clocked only 281 km, which means that it is a brand new and is driven mainly for demonstration during auto shows and media events.

    We don’t know the real reason, but the owner probably decided that he (or she) don’t need so expensive and useless “jewel”.

    Otherwise, Koenigsegg CCX is a spectacular vehicle. It is powered by a 4.7 liter twin-supercharged V8 with 806HP (593 kW) at 7,000 RPM and 920Nm (679 lb-ft) of torque at 5,500RPM. The same engine can be tuned to 1,018HP (749 kW) and 1,060Nm (782 lb-ft) (powering the impressive CCX-R).

    It is connected to a 6-speed manual CIMA gearbox. 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 9.8 seconds and a top speed of over 395 km/h (245 mph). According to the owner, it can do 417 km/h (259 mph).The chassis is made from carbon fiber reinforced with Kevlar and aluminum honeycomb like previous models.

  • Alcon CCX SuperKit for Nissan R35 GT-R

    Alcon has announced the Carbon Ceramic Xtreme (CCX) Superkit for Nissan R35 GT-R. The specially created brake system includes lightweight brake technology and is half the mass of a similarly sized iron disc. It also boasts significant improvements in vehicle performance and agility and everything is track tested by Alcon’s in-house R&D department.

    The results are more than satisfying. The new brake system is fade free and has excellent initial bite from hot or cold. It provides extreme stopping power and features low wear rates of both discs and pads.

    The CCX discs are available in numerous sizes to suit customers’ individual requirements, while a number of standard supercar kits are in development and one is now ready for sale.

    The Nissan kit fits perfectly to the original 20” wheel rims. It also comes complete with all hardware that you need for installation.

    This is the ultimate fast road/track conversion kit for the stunning R35 GT-R and features:

    •    400mm front ventilated, cross-drilled CCX discs mounted to stainless steel bells
    •    385mm rear ventilated, cross-drilled CCX discs mounted to stainless steel bells

  • Koenigsegg CCGT

    DOWN TUNED TO 600+ HP in order to comply with race regulations. Koenigsegg has created a new race car – the CCGT, based on the production CC-model range. The CCGT complies with the ACO and FIA GT1 regulations.

    The CCGT engine is based on the Koenigsegg CCX production engine with the superchargers removed but enlarged to 5.0 litre.

    The reliability of the race engine is expected be exceptional as it is based on the proven strength and durability of the signifi cantly more powerful road car engine.

    The minimum weight allowed for a GTI race car is 1,100 kg and most manufacturers struggle to meet this target, having to undergo massive weight saving programs.

    Due to the fact the Koenigsegg CC cars are very light and stiff in road confi guration, the racing CCGT weighs in at just under an astounding 1,000 kg. This gives the possibility to place 100 kg of ballast freely within the car structure, still following the set rules. This should give Koenigsegg an interesting advantage over the competition.

    The CCGT has very short overhangs, which could be seen as an issue when it comes to generating enough downforce. However, by further developing the clever and “slippery” design concept of the CC range, Koenigsegg believes they have created a unique package incorporating a surprising amount of down-force combined with a very compact package and optimal weight distribution. Since the CCGT has a short overall length and low overall height, whilst still maintaining adequate track width and length, it is thereby gifted with superior agility compared to most of the competition, which should be evident in future heated racing combats.

    The Koenigsegg CCGT development team, headed by Dag Bölenius, has done a superb job by refi ning the CC into the CCGT.

    The race engine is being developed in-house in parallel with the production units by Koenigsegg engineers, supported by Anders Hoglund from Cargine engineering and JP Motorsport.
