Debuting at the 2004 Geneva Auto Show, the CCR is quite similar to the CC8S and like its predecessor it features dihedral synchro-helix actuation doors. It has, however. various improvements. An upgraded body with a larger front splitter for optimized downforce, tweaked headlight arrangement and revised rear end. New larger tires and wheels equipped with larger brakes. Upgraded suspension and a more powerful engine with twin Rotrex compressors, producing 806 PS (593 kW; 795 hp) at 6900 rpm and 920 N·m (680 lb·ft) of torque at 5700 rpm.
