Supercars with bodyworks in bare carbon aren’t new. Already in the late 1990s, first manufacturers tried their luck on this elaborate method, in which not only the fibers on one component must be laid as evenly and cleanly as possible, but as a supreme discipline also the weave direction between the different components should fit each other in the end, so everything acts as if it came from the same mould. In addition to Dauer, Bugatti, Pagani, Lamborghini, Donkervoort, McLaren and the unofficial customization department of Ferrari and Maserati, Zanasi, also Koenigsegg built bare carbon production cars in the meantime. Other manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Lexus, Bentley and various others only showed bare carbon attachment parts or sometimes bigger body parts like bonnets or roofs in bare carbon.

Next to the possibility of coating the parts with colored clear coats or dyeing the carbon fibers during production, there has only been the classic look of unpainted bare carbon with normal clear coat. Now Koenigsegg presents a new process, that is more complex than traditional methods, but also brings an interesting new look into the game. The ‘Koenigsegg Naked Carbon’ (KNC) uses neither color particels nor a clear coat. On the contrary, even the fine layer of epoxy adhesive, which normally covers the top of the components, is polished down by hand. While doing so, the respective employee has to be extremely cautious, since one stroke too many will ruin the weave structure of the carbon fibers. However, the result is breathtaking, since now the graphite layers of the carbon are clearly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n
