LYSHOLM TWIN-SCREW COMPRESSOR
The Koenigsegg CCR engine is equipped with a Lysholm Screw Compressor, which has several advantages over the common centrifugal compressor. It creates a higher boost-pressure at lower rpm, thus significantly increasing both acceleration and control at low speed. Lag time during shifts and on-off throttling are reduced to a minimum. The twin screw principle is also highly energy efficient, which contributes to the extreme power and torque of the CCR machine. Boost-pressure in the CCR carbon fibre plenum reaches levels as high as 1.2 bar, considerably higher than that of any competitor. The Lysholm supercharger is the only product on the market today to combine both a positive displacement design for maximum low-end torque and highly efficient top-end horsepower output. Also emission levels at high speed and boost are lower than with other turbo and supercharging systems.

Power output: 806 bhp at 6.900 rpm.
Maximum torque: 920 Nm (678 ftlb) at 5.700 rpm
Compressor boost pressure: max. 1.3 bar
Compressor displacement: 3.3 L/REV/1.165CFM/REV.

I think I would finally go insane owning an engine like that, keeping it clean would control my life ..

They're both powered by Ford engines, and Koeingsegg is testing a Lydsholm boosted 5.4 right now.
