 Koenigsegg Trevita based on CCXR Revealed
Koenigsegg Trevita

Koenigsegg, the Swedish supercar maker and future SAAB owner manufactures the CCXR, one of the most exclusive and expensive cars in the world. It has a biofuel-capable engine that produces 749kW (1,018hp) and peak torque of 1,060Nm when it's running on the cleaner stuff. Not many people have these cars.

The CCXR shown here is called a Trevita which is an abbreviation in Swedish that translates into "three whites". Only three examples will be produced. But what makes it so special?

Basically the new and unique method with which its skin is made is sensationally special. Developed in-house by the Koenigsegg engineers the material is carbon fibre whose fibres have been coated with a diamond finish. It makes the car sparkle like millions of silvery white diamonds when the sun shines on it. Koenigsegg calls it the Koenigsegg Shimmering Diamond Weave.

The trio will be fitted with an infotainment system, a chrono instrument cluster and paddle-shifts. The exterior features a double carbon fibre wing and carbon ceramic brakes with ABS. A hydraulic lifting system ensures some everyday usability.

The Koenigsegg Trevita - The Shimmering Diamond

When sunlight hits the car, it sparkles like millions of silvery white diamonds infused inside the visible carbon fiber weave bodywork.

Trevita is an abbreviation in Swedish and translates into - three whites. The Koenigsegg visible carbon weave body work is renowned around the globe for its perfection and uniqueness. However, so far it has only been possible to utilize the classic black carbonfibres.

As Koenigsegg always strives to create new unique technologies and solutions, we have now reached a new milestone -The Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave.

By utilising a new and unique method, Koenigsegg has managed to coat fibers with a diamond finish. The process was fully developed at Koenigsegg headquarters in Ängelholm Sweden, where the fiber treatment is conducted carefully in small quantities, prior to further processing the prepreg material.

Koenigsegg will only produce three Trevitas in total, hence the name. This makes the Trevita one of the most rare versions in the Koenigsegg family cars.

The three cars are fully equipped with Koenigsegg Shimmering Diamond Weave bodywork, double carbon wing, paddle-shift, inconell exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes with ABS, hydraulic lifting system, infotainment system, tyre monitoring system, chrono instrument cluster and airbags.

Brilliant car. Not too sure about the superficiality of this special edition, though. Seems kinda... OPEC-ish, if you know what I mean. It freakin' sparkles? Like vampires in daylight? Stupid.

Proof that 'hypercars' don't have to be butt-ugly. Bye bye Gumpert...

this isn't good looking either. Zonda F is still the best hypercar.

Personally I prefer the Swedish entry but Zonda is definitely better than the Gumpert.

lol you guys are reading this wrong, it's not made of diamonds, nor does the paintwork have diamond bits engraved in it. From what i can deduce, it's simply the carbon fibre threads that give off this shine. I'm no expert but i believe it's the threads that have been treated with this highly reflective coating so when it's woven together you'll have that sparkle effect.

Exactly. It´s white carbonfibre (its been around for a while)that is covered in a highly reflective coating and then baked in transparent epoxy.

This is the first supercar with small rear windscreen, the least they could do is at least put a rear view camera or make a bigger rear windscreen, this is one thing I hate the most part of the car otherwise the rest looks good.

Im getting tired of this design. I feel the same way about the Veyron. Atleast Bugatti has attempted to modernize the Veyron's syling slightly though (mainly with its new head lamps) but still a change to differentiate it from older examples.

I swear I must be blind or something because I can't see any difference. A cheap way to make your car look like what they're trying to do is to just pour a ton of glitter on it. But they're going to be charging millions for the glitter.

Just basically make your Konigsegg shinier, I still thinks Black suits it most

You guys aren't understanding the significance of this technology. You can now make carbon fiber any color you want now. Without out painting it. Which means no extra weight gain. That's awesome! Do you know how much paint jobs weigh? Try around 20-30 lbs per coat. Anice paint job, 6 coats deep? Try a 100 lbs. Paint! Now you have a ultra-lite skin in any color you want....that's awesome!

Believe it or not but one of these is sitting in South Africa at the V&A Waterfront in Cape town! Its going for around R30 million. About 2.8 Million Euro's and about 4.3 Million US dollars! It belonged to the owner of the company "Future Exotics" but He's selling it. Probably saw it as a quick way to make a buck or two.
