| | Koenigsegg CC8S and CCR exotic cars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | The shape of the CC8S and CCR is so simple, without all those big air intakes that lots of supercars need, that you wonder whether it works. |
 | | Well, it does: the CCR, which is highly supercharged, has been timed at 241.9 mph at Nardo, which at the time made it the fastest production car in the world. |
 | | The engine is completely reworked by Koenigsegg, and is supercharged by an unusual system involving two centrifugal blowers; one is not adequate because it would only give good boost at high engine speeds. |
