I'm pretty sure that they have decided to use what is known as tape woven carbon fiber as it can be both lighter and stronger than traditional CF.
It's a lot more than just a different pattern, it's a different type of CF altogether.
Even some F1 teams use it today!

Now I know Exrockstar is going to try and shot me down in flames here, but seriously, is that a real Koenigsegg design study???
If so when did they start allowing eight year olds to design their cars?
The standard Agera R has a reasonably pure shape where form in the main follows function, this looks like it should have rockets drawn on the side. If a customer has requested this look then I would personally call their taste into question, but it’s their money and Koenigsegg is unlikely to turn it down
The central fin on a road car has no use; we already know that the Agera has very good straight line stability so why stick this thing on it? Also these fins are supposed to prevent blow over accidents in LM cars, it’s very unlikely any road car will get into a situation where this will help prevent a blow over
Oh and by the way before you think I am Koenigsegg bashing again I also hate the central fin that has been applied to some of the later special Zonda’s, it serves no practical function and is purely cosmetic

So keep doing you, streetrod. I think I speak for us all when I say: you are a pillar of this community and we thank you. You have mastered the internet.

Oh come now. No one would ever suspect you of systematically and childishly bashing Koenigsegg with the vigor of a eleven year old fanboy. Nay, you are a true gentleman and a credit to yourself and this forum. I wish you never get banned so we can continue to be enlightened by your neutral perspective on all things Koenigsegg and Pagani because it's just a swell read and something I'm sure we're all looking forward to when venturing into these topics.

I do wonder if you actually read the posts you have a pop at because judging by your latest silly comments, it appears you don't.
As for getting banned, its not me you have to worry about mate.
By the way I have a business trip to Sweden and the Koenigsegg factory booked in the new year, feel free to join me and we can carry on this discussion face to face, if not there then why don't you come and see me in Saudi in mid February, I will over there recruiting a few senior guys onto the management team, I'm sure a guy like you will fit in no problem
P.S. Don't forget to ask permission from your mum first

Wow!!, Even Exrockstar managed to take my comments in the way they were intended, but you feel the need to try and start another argument, how very sad.
