From the firm which sold us the Regera, Jesko and the Gemera, comes but any other provocative advent known as the Koenigsegg CC850. Unveiled internationally final weekend, the hypercar whereas being a quintessential Koenigsegg, comes with a determined twist (in a correct manner).
No longer like standard supercars which seem to be slowly transitioning into taking a look esteem a Mars-sure spaceship, the Koenigsegg CC850 does something diversified. The fresh hypercar is designed after the trace’s first-ever production mannequin, the CC8S, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this twelve months.
However the twist doesn’t arrive in the create of a excessive-tech hybrid engine or subtle aerodynamic wizardry. As but any other, the trace has tinkered around with its transmission setup. The CC850 comes with every a e-book and automatic transmission! Known as the ‘Consume Shift System (ESS),’ this multi-ratio transmission takes inspiration from Jesko’s multi-grab Gentle Tempo Transmission.
This arrangement permits for seamless e-book and automatic shifting. No longer like standard e-book/automatic cars, the ESS keeps its grab pedal, to alter between the 6-trot transmission, which Koenigsegg describes as “one of the most important collaborating manuals ever created.” On the choice hand, the driver can shift to the automatic mode, which has 9 speeds and also can shift on its non-public. Right here, the tools ratios are determined by the driving modes you lift, noteworthy esteem any other hypercar.
What’s diversified right here though is the delicate transition between the gated e-book and the automatic transmission, which is accomplished by tidy-intricate linkage. In all likelihood nothing signifies the car’s seriousness over offering a factual e-book experience than the luxury-taking a look knob topped by the Swedish flag.
The CC850 bears shut resemblance with the accepted, albeit with just a few dimensional adjustments. To illustrate, the CC850 is 7 inches longer than the CC8S. Other form adjustments right here consist of rectangular tail lamps at the rear, a smoother bumper and the addition of a first-rate diffuser. What stays the identical are the synchrohelix doors and the retractable roof. Oh, and it also comes with the firm’s Autoskin device, which opens all doors and body panels at the a press of a button.
Interior issues are reasonably Koenigsegg-esteem, with red ascent all around the cabin in conjunction with a symmetrical dashboard and an instrument console, such as the CC8S. There’s also copious amounts of carbon fibre all around the interiors. The device record right here includes local climate back watch over, surround-gape digicam, Apple CarPlay, wireless cellular phone charging and extra.
Sitting beneath its hood is the firm’s twin-turbo 5.0-litre V8 motor, which makes 1201PS of vitality. In case that’s no longer ample, this figure also can furthermore be boosted to 1404PS with using an E85 gas tank. Weighing at correct 1,385kg, the excessive-revving hypercar has a vitality-to-weight ratio of 1:1!
While prices aren’t out but, the rumour mill suggests that every of the 50 items constructed will starting up up all around the $3 million sign trace. On the choice hand, we query the CC850 to be sold out by the purpose this text is printed.
