Christian von Koenigsegg Automotive
Who is Christian von Koenigsegg?he was born July 2, 1972, as the founder of the Swedish high-performance automobile manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB. and now, the hot news is about The Koenigsegg CCX
The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined roadster from Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg. The CCX has been engineered to comply with the U.S. regulation and market demands and is an evolutionary design that replaced the Koenigsegg CCR.
CCX is an abbreviation for Competition Coupe X; the X commemorating the 10th anniversary, (being the Roman numeral for ten), of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle in 1996.
The CCX was first unveiled on February 28, 2006 at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show although its existence was announced earlier. A derivative known as the CCXR is available, the difference being that CCXR’s engine is tuned to run on biofuel. The different fuel and tune allows the CCXR to produce 25% more power than the CCX.[5]Von Koenigsegg grew up with the dream of creating the best sports car ever. After several years of planning, Koenigsegg launched the Koenigsegg project in 1994 at age twenty-two. Designer David Craaford provided a design concept following Koenigsegg’s guidelines. A tight-knit group was gathered and a prototype was assembled, the success of which enabled the foundation of Koenigsegg Automotive AB. Koenigsegg receives backing from Volvo, which provided access to a wind tunnel as well as providing financial aid. Volvo’s parent company, the Ford Motor Company, supplied the original Koenigsegg with a V8 engine; however, Koenigsegg now has developed its own in-house engines that are used in their cars (see Koenigsegg CCX).wikipedia.org
