The Koenigsegg CCGT has been built as a race car for GT1 races. The CCGT complies with the ACO and FIA GT1 regulations, although they had to remove the superchargers and enlarge the capacity of the engine from 4.7 to 5.0 liters. The Koenigsegg CC cars are known for their light chassis, so it was not a big problem for the CCGT to weight under 1100 kg's, which is the restriction, but it even reached an unbelievable 1000 kg weight. This gives an opportunity to place 100 kg of ballast anywhere inside the car structure, which could give further advantage over the competition. The Koenigsegg CCGT development team has been led by Dag Bölenius, and the race engine is being developed by the Koenigsegg engineers, supported by Anders Hoglund from Cargine engineering and JP Motorsport. |
