Koenigsegg distinguishes the CCX from the later CCX Edition with its visible-carbon treatment. Do not copy Edition graphics or surfaces automatically onto the selected 2006 car. Our orange finish is a creative interpretation.
In the photographs
The photographs show dark blue and black. Use these surviving display cars to compare shapes and visible finishes. Exact build date and original paint have not been established for every example. Restored paint and later changes are possible.
In the coloured example
The pencil example uses orange bodywork with cream cabin tones. It is a creative colouring guide, not a factory paint match or a recreation of one gallery car.
Make the details count.
Layer orange evenly across the broad nose before adding the dark intakes.
Keep the multiple lamp lenses and wheel openings distinct with a sharp pencil.
