 Headlights
Koenigsegg has chosen a new design of the headlight
arrangement for the CCR model. The designer Joachim
Nordwall desired to express the brutal force of this
machine through the attitude of its “face”, which
has resulted in these diamond shaped predator eyes.
A sheet of Lexan-glass covers the lights to prevent
unnecessary drag, and a position light has been
added on each side. The reflectors are mounted in
machined aluminium casings and Xenon lights are
standard.
 Side Air Intakes
On the CCR, the lower line of the side air intakes
describes a progressive curve, rising rapidly
towards its rear end, where it forms a sharp
triangular point. These curves and lines work in
harmony with the area where the doors meet the roof,
which further accentuates the car’s dynamic
attitude; the impression of power yet to be
unleashed. A panel bearing the CCR logo forms a
bridge between the intake and the wheel, and an
arched line shoots from the intake and past the
wheels, joining it with the rear.
 Rear Outlet Panel
Engine bay ventilation is always a crucial factor on
a supercar like the CCR, especially considering that
in this case 806 hp needs to be cooled efficiently.
The design of the CCR rear aims to satisfy the need
for hot air evacuation, by defining a zone with four
truncated outlets. This area is a rather geometrical
element that visibly gives contrast to, and
supports, the otherwise extremely organic rear hood.
It is both in function and form an extension of the
machinery behind, and its mechanical feel
complements the aluminium casings around the rear
lights.
 CCR Front Splitter
The CCR is made to travel at speeds approaching 400
km/h, which has made it desirable to enhance the
aerdynamics of the front end of the car. The
splitter on the CCR has several aerodynamic
benefits, but also serves an aesthetic purpose. It
binds together the three sections that divide the
front, providing an organic integration. It adds an
element in the horizontal plane that emphasizes the
broad and low character of the CCR. The splitter
bends around the bumper and ends at the wheels,
supporting the air outlets on the sides. From a side
view, it elongates the front and sharpens it, adding
to the unbridled velocity in the eyes of the
beholder. |
