AP-Racing has developed the steel alloy brakes especially for the Koenigsegg CCR. These pure racing brakes are power assisted and incorporate a state of the art ABS system from Bosch. Both front and rear brakes are equipped with six callipers. Designed to exhibit their unique airflow characteristics, these ventilated discs interact with the uprights and wheels to create a superior airflow that initially cools the wheel bearings, uprights and the discs themselves. These full metal brakes are state-of-the-art and provide better control and reliability than any other on the market.

Separate intakes and ducts supply air to the brakes. The front brakes are ventilated through the “nostrils” on the bumper, while the rear system is supplied with air through intakes under the car. This exceptional brake cooling system has proven highly efficient in extensive test driving under extreme conditions.

The brakes are also a part of the KACS. It is possible to fine tune the disposition of braking power between the front brakes and the rear. The brake pads are carefully chosen and adapted to meet the specifications of the Koenigsegg vehicles. The brake system provides outstanding accuracy and enables the car to have an extremely short braking distance; the CCR stops in less than 31 m.

For the CCR brakes, AP-racing has employed a new technology that ensures perfectly intact braking capacity despite the unavoidable thermal shifts that occur in the brake disc. The discs are not mounted in a fixed position to the wheels, but are allowed to move a fraction of a millimetre in all directions, in a ”floating mount”. This serves to absorb any thermal shift, which in combination with the Koenigsegg brake ventilation system makes the brakes exceptionally stable in any driving condition. Koenigsegg has chosen to go against the current trend for ceramic or ceramic-composite discs. Such materials are new and exiting, but have, as yet, neither proven as reliable nor as subtle as using steel alloy for brake discs. Ceramic disc are therefore a customer option.
