Edo Competition is one of the few tuners in the world that can boast a number of processing supercar very rare and very powerful. The latest "creation" of the Teutonic factory is based on the already extremely sporty Swedish Koenigsegg CCR, which for the occasion was turned into a real rocket on wheels, so going to enrich the "collection" of developing Ahen made up of the likes fast cars Lamborghini Murcielago, Porsche Carrera GT and even one of 30 copies of the Ferrari FXX, the powerful track-day of the Prancing Horse, transformed for the occasion by Atelier in a German sports car approved for use on the road.

The Koenigsegg CCR's daring mechanical processing has affected the 4.7-liter V8 Ford source that has received two new Rotrex compressors and has been revised once the electronic management of the engine with the replacement of the ECU. The goal, quite successful, drawing up the German was to increase power while maintaining a high torque curve on a broad range of engine speed, at the same time lowering the speed limit from 7,600 rpm to 7,200.

The mechanical changes have also affected the six-speed manual transmission that has been completely disassembled to replace the plastic bushings, in order to obtain reports shorter and faster. The result of these changes has increased the power of the eight cylinders from 827 to 891 hp, while torque peaks of 900 Nm, which allow the Swedish sports car to break through the wall of 100 km / h in just 3 by fierce, 2 / 2, to reach the threshold of 200 km / h in 9.7 seconds and touch the wall of 300 km / h in just 23 seconds, keeping in mind that the maximum speed reaching up to 390 km / h, a limit that would too pale a Formula One car.

In addition, the new car has sensors to check tire pressure and the setting of the various mechanical and dynamic parameters of the car.
