Difference between CCX and CCR?

What are the differences between the CCX and the CCR? To me they seem similiar? Anyone want to point out the details? Which one is the better car?

Among others:

Some key differtences:

"...re-engineered to comply with the US regulation and market demands."

"The new body incorporates a new front bumper design, engineered to function well in the stringent 2.5 mph bumper test, including enhanced brake cooling, fog lamps and US side position lights. The front lamps have been slightly redesigned to suit the new bumper line."

"There is a new scoop on the front bonnet acting as a larger fresh air-intake for the occupants and new air vents have been added behind the front wheels in order to further evacuate air from the cockpit. The frontal shape revisions now allow for effective track use options to be added."

" The side rocker panels feature side skirts in order to further enhance downforce by increasing underbody area. The new exterior of the car has been created using the industry leading Icem Surf CAD software, guaranteeing a perfect fit and finish as well as optimal highlights."

"The car is 88 mm longer in order to comply with the US rear impact regulations and in order to free up space around the rear muffler. The rear clamshell now features a glass window over the new CCX engine, clearly showing off the bespoke and unique Koenigsegg Block casting. The mufflers have received improved cooling, by incorporating grill vents above in the clamshell. The number plate area is now adapted to suit both US and Euro size number plates."

"There is a further 50 mm in headroom, making the CCX the most spacious super car on the market, truly considering the taller driver's needs. Koenigsegg believes to have found a niche by enabling really tall drivers to fit well inside the car, still with its highest point only 1120mm above the tarmac."

If your dad is very serious I can get you a contact within Koenigsegg. They're based in Ängelholm, very close to Copenhagen.
