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>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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.

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
