The Koenigsegg visible carbon weave body work is renowned around the globe for its perfection and uniqueness. However, so far it has only been possible to utilize the classic black carbonfibres.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtNDglWxuiCvmfF_ncuLpggEivNus_gzkONXfJgdM75t6KHaPtwTzVfsKOjNIP1z-iKeNyeP-rQIzxswFGPVkl82YYyFXqxmpDYWra7YGWUiwH-T0xBJjbknidO5TbvWUCmlw_k-63CH8/s1600-h/5427855.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380397263748996354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtNDglWxuiCvmfF_ncuLpggEivNus_gzkONXfJgdM75t6KHaPtwTzVfsKOjNIP1z-iKeNyeP-rQIzxswFGPVkl82YYyFXqxmpDYWra7YGWUiwH-T0xBJjbknidO5TbvWUCmlw_k-63CH8/s400/5427855.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" /></a><br />As Koenigsegg always strives to create new unique technologies and solutions, we have now reached a new milestone -The Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifSB7KGqVoeXOk7u1PHNByKYJ41H-9w1dgR3oBRVLPS7-FDY2nZ86p1Dlo_fqBaNy-0wg5TLxMrUn-huI1Sgoiuf31AxvtS9KspqHCVhRMe0GvV-iJqQ2vQF8QbVienFz7qVyRAtIvdZg/s1600-h/1476468.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380396999812172322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifSB7KGqVoeXOk7u1PHNByKYJ41H-9w1dgR3oBRVLPS7-FDY2nZ86p1Dlo_fqBaNy-0wg5TLxMrUn-huI1Sgoiuf31AxvtS9KspqHCVhRMe0GvV-iJqQ2vQF8QbVienFz7qVyRAtIvdZg/s400/1476468.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" /></a><br />By utilising a new and unique method, Koenigsegg has managed to coat fibers with a diamond finish. The process was fully developed at Koenigsegg headquarters in Ängelholm Sweden, where the fiber treatment is conducted carefully in small quantities, prior to further processing the prepreg material.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEkUxnHFp9x9pKhyWJn7q2ibsbq7R4jS2nPYf-Vxj3dnJ8Apc9bKYJVALSk-dPp3DfJEtsqkUbUJfGZIUyGPFD5_t2M_gZ7mGcnVkWXbF-tvG_VD2jg4Hr0UqCbj_1kHXlgxWWciCxBLI/s1600-h/2548206.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380396836411463506" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEkUxnHFp9x9pKhyWJn7q2ibsbq7R4jS2nPYf-Vxj3dnJ8Apc9bKYJVALSk-dPp3DfJEtsqkUbUJfGZIUyGPFD5_t2M_gZ7mGcnVkWXbF-tvG_VD2jg4Hr0UqCbj_1kHXlgxWWciCxBLI/s400/2548206.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" /></a><br />Koenigsegg will only produce three Trevitas in total, hence the name. This makes the Trevita one of the most rare versions in the Koenigsegg family cars.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8zqpvmoA3PqMB5zF7hbqlpHSpplwJvzQslwNysRlhCRtkPh58xGIC0Hl96BHWGXO-Q1Rzk7KqrugQ7oN8x7lne_QmFoyElbhPIg63KRDAy6gRfn9-gEkq5LiVpQAU3V1XliCVxK4_eK8/s1600-h/6467468.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380396687510624674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8zqpvmoA3PqMB5zF7hbqlpHSpplwJvzQslwNysRlhCRtkPh58xGIC0Hl96BHWGXO-Q1Rzk7KqrugQ7oN8x7lne_QmFoyElbhPIg63KRDAy6gRfn9-gEkq5LiVpQAU3V1XliCVxK4_eK8/s400/6467468.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" /></a><br />The three cars are fully equipped with Koenigsegg Shimmering Diamond Weave bodywork, double carbon wing, paddle-shift, inconell exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes with ABS, hydraulic lifting system, infotainment system, tyre monitoring system, chrono instrument cluster and airbags.<br /><a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/109091121674/koenigsegg-trevita-based-on-ccxr-revealed/lowphotos#4">More Photos</a><br /><br /></span><p>
