Re: Koenigsegg ccx

The car is okay, nothing too special. Those rotrex merbobs are cool, but don't have anything on turbochargers.

Agreed 100%, Just look at top fuel Dragsters. They dont allow turbo's cause they produce way to much power.

Dont allow or just dont use turbos?
Those superchargers take massive amounts of power to turn. I dont know that you'd ever get a turbo that size spinning on one of those motors. I agree with the superiority of turbos, but you run into a certain size limit dictated by what you can spool without choking the motor. Superchargers dont suffer from that. They provide the power necessary to turn the supercharger early on in the powerband where its needed.
