Interview with Dag Höili, the responsible person for the CCR / CCXR Edition

From: Koenigsegg e il sogno ecologico da 400 all'ora - Il Sole 24 ORE



An Interview with CEO, Dag Alexander Hoili

On paper the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition is the car approved for road traffic that, respecting the highest global standards of safety, promises the best road performance of all time. Only a rival, the Bugatti Veyron, very close in power, but also heavier by more than 700 kilograms, and already at first sight as well as in wind tunnel, less aerodynamic than the CCXR.

There are only a few months after the official consecration of the chronometers, because we must find the suitable location to launch it on a fair distance to over 400 km / h, but the Koenigsegg Edition is already in the history books of the automobile, says Dag Hoili, CEO of this extraordinary project.

Mr Hoili, how is a dream like this born?
In my career I have worked in various business, as a chain of food from more than 160 outlets, the branch real estate and other investments, but I always had a passion for extreme Sportscars, and in my Norway I discovered that the Koenigsegg already achieved an incredible car.At that point I decided to create a special wish that could be the best in the world in terms of performance, technology and beauty.

What is not true about the comparisons with the most famed brand of supersportscars?
First, we produce a few copies every year, focusing on the highest quality and most of the components made by hand, with the best material available and without compromise of any kind. . Our price is very high, 1.5 million, because we are sure to be at the top on all fronts and we are aware that our competitors have not tended to the costs in the design and implementation for every technical aspect of security, performance, quality in care of materials and details.


What should a client expect from this car?
The exclusivity of the object, its beauty and rarity and uniqueness of benefits, which are currently the best in the world.

With a big advantage over other customized super sports cars of the past: the Edition will not be more difficult to drive than is a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, for the benefit of enjoyment by the customer and its security.Certainly, we must not exaggerate, and push for a speed should be in a proper way, where the car is allowed to run, and the experience is appropriate, otherwise the game can become very dangerous ....


As with most Supersports cars is there a daily mileage reduction required?
In fact we do not limit mileage, and sure you choose the most expensive and reliable in the world, they also recommend daily use. . We feel secure, you can trust that if this car decide to slow down to 300 at removing the steering wheel, you can do so with confidence, and see what will stop perfectly on the path set. I advise you not to do so instead with the Supersport series ...


Can more be done?
If you knew how, going already.For now it makes sense to continue with this car, and it makes sense to do one thing at a time. It is essential for us to truly offer the best possible and then focus on a single model. I do not think that much will change shape, yet we can only improve if possible. It's like a rare diamond, for now we think a brightly continuous!
