The first impression of the Koenigsegg CC is its dynamic stance and futuristic, aggressive attitude. It appears amazingly low and broad, with the cockpit-like semicircular windscreen and organically shaped rear hood as key features. The smooth and polished body is gently curved, almost simplistic; a fully integrated design. Lines and surfaces appear thoroughbred and slippery, projecting an image of velocity onto the machine. This design shouts in a clear and universal language: “I travel at extreme speeds!”

The shape of the body was envisioned to be timeless and original, unrestricted by current fashion or a sellout to retro copying. The design crew at Koenigsegg has held on to those first sketches, pinpointing the essential elements that signal the Koenigsegg look. From the front bumper's shark-like mouth and nostrils, twin lines run up and around the cockpit, accentuating the eccentric windscreen. Its curved shape is pursued by the roof and sky-light, making the cockpit appear as if bent by immense power and motion.

The rear hood is one huge piece of carbonfibre, modelled to incorporate both the avant-garde bridge-like air intake below the rear window and an integrated wing. The highlights on its curved act to bind the rear end and cockpit together, defining the muscular shapes around the wheels and rear lights.

Since the hoods and roof cover the entire car, they expose the whole chassis when lifted, allowing for easy inspection and maintenance. The bold concave cavities in the sides effectively lead air into the intercooler and oil cooler. Koenigsegg’s design philosophy is clearly dynamic and organic; one could say ichthyomorphic, as opposed to some popular static and geometric design-schools of today. This is also the key to the unrivalled aerodynamics of the vehicles.

The body incorporates a unique detachable carbon fiber hardtop that is fully integrated into the coupe shape of the car, not giving away its feature until detached and stored in the relatively large luggage space at the front, transforming the car from a solid coupe to an open unrestricted Speedster. Not many cars can match this transformation act, so elegantly and effortlessly.

The large storage at the front of the car can even house a set of weekend bags for two or a set of golf clubs, a featured unmatched in the Supercar industry.

The Koenigsegg CC look stands out and makes a statement, which has awarded Koenigsegg several prestigious design prizes, e.g. the German Red Dot award and a prize for excellent Swedish design.

The Koenigsegg CC interior seems merged with the exterior; the dynamic flow of lines and surfaces continue into the cabin and naturally bind them together. The layout is strictly symmetrical, with its elements mirrored on the centreline. All details are refined and the surfaces are cleaned of obstructions. The focal point is the circular main control panel with its zodiac of multicolour lights and stainless steel buttons. The Unique Chrono instrument cluster is mounted conveniently onto the steering axel, so that it always faces the driver. It is designed to be fully visible through the upper spokes of the steering wheel, giving the driver a complete overview of its unique and intuitive layout.

It includes a central tachometer, Speedometer and boost level gauge as its focal point, giving full feed-back to the driver. The metal parts are of machined and anodized aluminium, giving them a frostlike sheen that makes them stand out against the leather background. Suede covers the dashboard and the muscle-like lower sections of the doors, serving to reduce sun glare and provide contrast to the composition. The supportive yet comfortable carbon fiber seats are very light and flixble in their adjustment possibilites. Their compactness leaves space for tall drivers, and they can be adjusted to offer a perfect driving position. This design fulfills the basic objective; to combine wild racing performance and comfortable everyday driving.

The spectacular carbon fiber doors open in one single elegant motion. First freeing themselves from the body, then swinging upwards and finding rest at a 90 degree angle. They are supported by the masterpiece Koenigsegg dihedral hinges, which use two parallel arms that rotate on a geared pivot, causing the doors to move in an outward arc. Since the hinges are balanced by gas struts and oil dampers, a gentle push is enough to lift the doors. This design requires minimal area around and above the vehicle, giving complete freedom of access to the car in confined areas.

The shield with its divided fields of red and yellow diamonds - within a blue frame - is based upon the original ancient Coat of Arms of the medieval Koenigsegg family. The original shield is a single field of golden diamonds surrounded by ornaments.

When the logotype of Koenigsegg was created, it was quite clearly a derivation of the original family coat of arms. At the top end you recognize a crowning ornament - a golden on blue - representing the letters KCC for Koenigsegg CC.
