Koenigsegg CC 8S
Super car with the stocky body which has dropped to road differs rather unusual scheme of opening of doors - they not simply rise upwards as traditional type, but also are removed in the sides. From it seems, that they “are unscrewed”. In addition the demountable roof is easily removed in the luggage carrier located in front. From here, by the way, and letters СС (Coupe/Convertible) in the name.
Full hi-tech!
The car is constructed with use of the advanced technologies. For example, the basic power element of a body is bearing from cellular panels. As well as bodies bolids « Formulas 1 », he is baked in an autoclave. In front and behind to them underframes from aluminium alloy on which will mount suspension brackets, steering management and the engine with a box of transfers. External panels of a body also from plastic. As a result equipped weight Koenigsegg CC 8S makes only 1.170 kg.
Not too a little, someone will tell … However for V-shaped “eight” in volume 4,7 l it all the same that a fuzz. The it is more, this developed specially for Koenigsegg CC 8S the motor developing power 655 h.p., has the monstrous torque in 750 Nanometers. To achieve such results, designers have applied a mechanical supercharger with intercooler, and for improvement of cooling and reduction of height of the force unit (and accordingly downturn of the centre of gravity) used system of greasing with dry carter in which it is included also oil radiator the big productivity. It is natural, that in a design of the engine also has not done without find fault-flew-materials - application plastic, titanic and aluminium alloys here have found. So, from the first are formed an inlet collector and covers of heads of the block.
For transfer of the huge twisting moment founders Koenig-segg CC 8S used two-disk coupling firm AP-Racing and a six-step box from Italian company Cima. The box, by the way, has own system of cooling with the oil pump and a radiator.
Monstrous power developed by the force unit is realized by 18-inch back wheels, filled in “skating rolls” dimension 315/40. In front of a wheel “narrow” - only 245/40 ZR 18, but also those, and others have disks from a magnesian alloy and fasten everyone one central nut, as on racing bolids. One more analogy to “Formula” - used on Koenigsegg CC 8S the plan of suspension brackets on double cross-section And-shaped levers with a horizontal arrangement of springs and shock-absorbers. To a word, shock-absorbers - sports manufactures with compensatory tanks Ohlins. Brakes AP-Racing also inspire respect: in front, and behind the four-piston mechanism, « compressing in the embraces » ventilated brake disks. There is enough 32 m to stop the car since speed of 100 km/h. The maximal speed makes neither much nor not enough 390 km/h, and dispersal up to hundred borrows less than 3,5 with. Turns Koenigsegg CC 8S it is capable to take place with lateral acceleration 1,15 g. It is necessary to add only, that the design of the car allows to adjust many parameters, such, as rigidity of suspension brackets or aerodynamic clamping force, according to individual preferences of the driver.
