Road Style: Koenigsegg CCX

Damn I think out of all the exotic/sports car that I am featuring this Swedish car is my favorite. The Koenigsegg CCX is designed to be safer in low speed collisions than previous Koenigseggs and the whole body is 3.46 in (88 millimeters) longer to comply with the United States' rear impact regulations. The acceleration of this car from 0-62 mph in 3.2 sec. and from 0-124 mph in 9.8 sec. is just incredible.

The engine is re-engineered by Koenigsegg manufacturers in Sweden based on Ford's Modular architecture. The engine is the 4.7 liter 288 cu.in. V8 with dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder.

The car's exterior is really handsome: two door targa top and removable roof (that can be stored under the front trunk). The body made of carbon fiber and Kevlar. The doors rotate forward and upward similar to scissor doors. It has a flat underside at the rear an optional rear spoiler to improve aerodynamics.

There is more to write about this car - based from my source of information, but I am sure that just looking at the picture of the Koenigsegg CCX , there is NO DOUBT that this car is one of the best-looking cars of the 21st century. Nuff said!
