Power was transmitted through an AP-Racing twin-disc clutch and a Koenigsegg\/Cima sequential magnesium transaxle. The car featured double wishbone suspension, pushrod-operated gas-hydraulic shock absorbers, a pneumatic pit-stop lifting system, rack-and-pinion steering, and 362mm carbon disc brakes gripped by light alloy six-piston monobloc calipers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-4-1-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-462171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-4-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"2007 Koenigsegg CCGT GT1 Competition\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1917\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Constructed on a carbon-fiber\/honeycomb chassis, the two-seater sported a carbon-fiber\/Kevlar body with a homologated full roll cage by Koenigsegg-ME-Racing.

Test drives took place at Knutstorp race circuit in 2008, with legendary test driver Loris Bicocchi at the helm. However, just two months after initial shake-down runs, regulatory changes by the ACO and FIA dashed the GT1 Class racing dream, concluding with the completion of only one CCGT, rendering it an exceptionally unique race car.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-1-1-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-462174\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-1-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"2007 Koenigsegg CCGT GT1 Competition\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1917\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-6-1-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-462168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-6-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"2007 Koenigsegg CCGT GT1 Competition\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1917\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-5-2-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-462170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-5-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"2007 Koenigsegg CCGT GT1 Competition\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1917\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-7-1-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-462167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-7-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"2007 Koenigsegg CCGT GT1 Competition\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1917\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-3-1-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-462172\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-3-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"2007 Koenigsegg CCGT GT1 Competition\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1917\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cars.bonhams.com\/auction\/27997\/lot\/255P\/2007-koenigsegg-ccgt-gt1-competition-coupe-chassis-no-yt9m1gov8-007012\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bonhams Cars<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CCGT, introduced at the 2007 Geneva Automobile Show, was conceived as a parallel effort during the production of Koenigsegg&#8217;s standard cars, with its primary purpose being participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans series, following FIM regulations for LMP prototype cars.
