Company
The company was founded in 1994 in
Sweden by Christian von Koenigsegg, with
the intention of producing a "world-class"
sports car. Many years of development
and testing led to the CC8S, the company's
first street-legal production car which was
introduced in 2002.[3]

In 2006, Koenigsegg began production of

the CCX, which uses an engine created in-
house specifically for the car. The goal
was to develop a car homologated for use
worldwide, particularly the United States
whose strict regulations did not allow the
import of earlier Koenigsegg models.[3]

In March 2009, the CCXR was listed by

Forbes as one of "the world's most
beautiful cars".[4]

In December 2010, the Agera won the BBC

Top Gear Hypercar of the Year Award.[5]
Apart from developing, manufacturing and
selling the Koenigsegg line of sports cars,
Koenigsegg is also involved in "green
technology" development programmes
beginning with the CCXR ("Flower Power")
flex-fuel sports car and continuing through
the present with the Jesko. Koenigsegg is
also active in development programs of
plug-in electric cars' systems and next-
generation reciprocating engine
technologies. Koenigsegg has also
developed a camless piston engine which
found its first application in the Gemera,
which was introduced in 2020.[6]
Koenigsegg develops and produces most
of the main systems, subsystems and
components needed for its cars in-house
instead of relying on subcontractors.[7]

In January 2019, Koenigsegg sold a 20%

stake in the company to Swedish electric
car manufacturer (Egstrand & Lundgren),
National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS),
for US$171 million.[8]

Koenigsegg has since then bought the

stake back from NEVS in 2021 and owns
100% of the company again.[9]
History

Factory history

The factory building in Ängelholm, Sweden

Christian von Koenigsegg got the idea to

build his own car after watching the
Norwegian stop-motion animated movie
Pinchcliffe Grand Prix in his youth.[10] At 22
years old, Koenigsegg gathered
SKr 60,000,000 from investors and
founded Koenigsegg Automotive in
1994.[11]

Initially, Koenigsegg Automotive was

based in Olofström. In the early 2000s, the
company moved to Ängelholm.[12] On 22
February 2003, one of the production
facilities caught fire and was badly
damaged.[13] Koenigsegg then acquired an
abandoned air field to use as his new
factory building and in late 2003, one of
the two large fighter-jet hangars and an
office building were converted into a car
factory. Since then, the company is located
near the still-active Ängelholm airport.
Koenigsegg controls and uses the former
military runway for shakedown runs of
production cars and high-speed testing.[14]

Prototypes and production

The Koenigsegg CC prototype which became the basis for future models of the company

The initial design of the CC was penned

down by Christian von Koenigsegg.
Industrial designer David Crafoord realised
the sketches as a 1:5 scale model. This
model was later scaled up in order to
create the base plug for the initial
Koenigsegg prototype that was finished in
1996. During the next years, the prototype
went through extensive testing and several
new prototypes were built. The prototypes
initially used an Audi V8 engine but after
the engine supply contract fell through, the
next candidate was the Flat-12 race engine
developed by Motori Moderni for the
Scuderia Coloni Formula one team, in
which this engine was raced under the
Subaru badge in the 1990 season. These
Subaru 1235 engines were purchased and
modified for use in the CC; this deal failed
when the founder of Motori Moderni died,
sending the company into
bankruptcy.[15][16]

Koenigsegg developed its own engine

based on the Ford Modular architecture in
2012. It later developed its own engines
from scratch, including control systems
and transmissions, which is very unusual
for a small size sports car producer.[17]

Badge

The Koenigsegg badge was designed in

1994 by Jacob Låftman, based on the
heraldic coat of arms of the Koenigsegg
family. The shield has been the family's
coat of arms since the 12th century when
a family member was knighted by the Holy
Roman Empire.[18]

Ghost Badge

After moving into the abandoned airfield,

which once housed a Swedish Air Force
squadron, Koenigsegg adopted the "ghost
symbol" that the squadron had on its
planes as a tribute. The badge is seen on
models built in the factory that was
converted from its hangar.[14]
Attempted purchase of Saab

On 12 June 2009, the media reported that

Koenigsegg Group, consisting of
Koenigsegg Automotive AB, Christian von
Koenigsegg, Bård Eker and a group of
investors led by Mark Bishop had signed a
letter of intent with Saab to take over the
brand from General Motors. General
Motors confirmed on 16 June that they
had chosen Koenigsegg Group as the
buyer of Saab Automobile.[19] The deal, set
to close 30 September 2009, included
US$600 million in financing from the
European Investment Bank, guaranteed by
the Swedish government. By comparison,
in 2008 Koenigsegg with its staff of 45
produced 18 cars at an average price of
US$1 million each; Saab employed 3,400
workers and made more than 93,000
cars.[20]

General Motors announced on 18 August

that the deal had been signed, although
certain financing details remained to be
completed. On 9 September 2009,
Koenigsegg announced that BAIC was
going to join as a minority stakeholder in
Koenigsegg.[21]

In November 2009, Koenigsegg decided

not to finalise the purchase of Saab and
therefore, left the negotiations. The timing
uncertainty of finalisation of the take over
was the reason Koenigsegg stated for
leaving the deal.[22]

Models

Koenigsegg One:1 (US spec)

A Koenigsegg CC prototype was first

publicised in 1996, while the full carbon
fibre production prototype having white
paintwork was finally unveiled at the 2000
Paris Motor Show. The first customer took
delivery of a red CC8S in 2002 at the
Geneva Auto Show and four more cars
were built that year. Koenigsegg was
established in Asia later that year with a
premiere at the Seoul Auto Show. In 2004,
the new CCR, which was basically a high
performance variant of the CC8S, was
unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show; only 14
were produced.[23]

In 2006, Koenigsegg introduced the CCX, a

new model, that was developed in order to
meet worldwide regulations for road use.
This meant the car had to go through
extensive development in order to meet
the latest and most stringent safety and
emission standards that the world's
authorities demanded; Koenigsegg had to,
for example, develop its own engines and
other related technologies.[24][25]

In 2007, Koenigsegg premiered the CCXR,

a biofuel/flex-fuel version of the CCX. The
car features a modified engine, fuel
system, and engine management system
that enables the car to run on normal
gasoline or ethanol, and in any mixture
between these two fuels. Ethanol has a
higher octane rating compared to regular
fuel and has an internal cooling effect on
the combustion chamber, which allows for
increased performance.

In 2009, Koenigsegg released information

about a special edition car called the
Trevita, of which three were planned to be
made but only two were finished due to
technical problems. The Trevita, which
translates into English as "three whites",
has a body made entirely of Koenigsegg's
proprietary material consisting of
diamond-coated carbon fibre. The Trevita
is based on the CCXR, and therefore has a
power output of 1,032 PS (759 kW;
1,018 hp) when running on biofuel.[26]

In 2010 Koenigsegg released information
at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show about a
new model called the Agera, which
translates into English as "take
action/act". The Agera features a
Koenigsegg developed 5.0-litre V8 engine
coupled with variable turbo geometry
turbochargers having a power output of
973 PS (716 kW; 960 hp), mated to a newly
developed 7-speed dual clutch
transmission. The Agera's design follows a
clear lineage from the previous
Koenigsegg sports cars, but adds many
special new features, such as a wider front
track, new styling and aerodynamic
features, and a new interior; including a
new lighting technique called "Ghost Light"
by the manufacturer which consists of
microscopic holes to hide the interior
lighting until it is turned on, which then
shines through what appears to be solid
aluminium.[27][28] Production of the Agera
ended in July 2018 after being in
production for eight years when two of the
three final edition cars were presented to
its customers.
At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show,
Koenigsegg presented a new model
named the Regera, which translates into
English as to "reign" or "rule". The Regera
uses the Koenigsegg Direct Drive (KDD)
transmission. Below 48 km/h (30 mph),
motive power is by two electric motors on
the rear wheels and the internal
combustion engine (ICE) is disconnected.
Above 48 km/h (30 mph), the ICE is
connected by a fixed ratio transmission
with no gearbox, torque vectoring by the
previously mentioned electric motors and
boosted by a third electric motor attached
to the driveshaft.[29][30]
Koenigsegg initially based its engine on a
V8 engine block from Ford Racing. These
engines powered the initial run of the CC
monikered cars. The block for the 4.8 L
(4,800 cc) V8 in the CCX (Competition
Coupe Ten, to celebrate ten years of the
company) was cast for Koenigsegg by
Grainger & Worrall of the UK who also cast
the block for the Agera's 5.0-litre
engine.[31]

Koenigsegg Jesko
In late 2018, Koenigsegg showed potential
customers in Australia the replacement of
the Agera via VR. Teaser sketches were
released by the company at the same
time. Initially, the model was rumoured to
be called "Ragnarok" but the public unveil
of the car at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show
revealed the name to be Jesko, after the
founder's father Jesko Von Koenigsegg.

The Jesko uses a development of the 5.0-

litre V8 engine used in the Agera which
has a power output of 1,298 PS (955 kW;
1,280 hp) on normal gasoline and has a
power output of 1,625 PS (1,195 kW;
1,603 hp) and 1,500 N⋅m (1,106 lb⋅ft) of
torque at 5,100 rpm on E85 biofuel.[32] The
engine is mated to a 9-speed multi-clutch
transmission having seven clutches called
the "Light Speed Transmission" (LST) by
the manufacturer. The focus of this
transmission is to have faster shift times.
The car will come in either a high-
downforce, track-oriented or a low-drag,
high speed Absolut variant.

On 3 March 2020, the Gemera was

unveiled on an online broadcast. It is
scheduled to be released to the public in
2022. There will be a limited production of
300 units. This will be Koenigsegg's first
four-seater vehicle. The vehicle is powered
by a small engine called the Koenigsegg
TFG (Tiny Friendly Giant). The car also
features full-length Koenigsegg
Automated Twisted Synchrohelix
Actuation Doors (KATSAD).[33]

Records

Koenigsegg CCR at Broughtons, Berkshire, UK

On 28 February 2005, at 12:08 pm local

time, in Nardò, Italy, the CCR broke the
Guinness World Record for the fastest
production car in the world, having
attained 387.866 km/h (241.009 mph) on
the Nardò Ring (a circular track of 7.8 mi
(12.6 km) circumference), breaking the
record previously held by the McLaren
F1.[68][69][70] It held the record until
September 2005 when the Bugatti Veyron
broke the record again by attaining a
speed of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph),
proven both by Car and Driver and Top
Gear. Both of the records set by Bugatti
and McLaren were set on Volkswagen's
own test-track Ehra-Lessien, which
features a 5.6 miles (9.0 km) straight.[71]

In 2008 the German magazine sport auto

conducted a 0–300–0 km/h (0–186–
0 mph) test for production cars, with the
CCX winning the event in a total time of
29.2 seconds.[72] The CCX also
accelerated from 0–200 km/h in 9.3
seconds.[73]

In September 2011, the Agera R broke the

Guinness World Record for 0–300 km/h
with a time of 14.53 seconds and a 0–
300–0 km/h time of 21.19 seconds.[74]
Koenigsegg improved this record with the
One:1 on 8 June 2015. It attained 0–
300 km/h in 11.92 seconds and 0–300–
0 km/h in 17.95 seconds (a 3.24 sec
improvement over the 2011 Koenigsegg
Agera R record), it also attained 0–
322 km/h (0–200 mph) in 14.328 seconds
and 0–322–0 km/h in 20.71 seconds.[75]
The Agera RS World Record Car on display at the 2018 North American International Auto Show

On 1 October 2017, an Agera RS set an

unofficial record for 0–400–0 km/h (0–
249–0 mph) with a time of 36.44 seconds.
The record was set at the Vandel Airfield in
Denmark and broke the record of 42
seconds set by the Bugatti Chiron a few
weeks prior.[76]

On 4 November 2017, an Agera RS set a

new record for the world's fastest
production car with an average speed of
447.19 km/h (277.87 mph) with
Koenigsegg test driver Niklas Lilja behind
the wheel. The record breaking run was
done on a closed 11 mi (18 km) section of
Nevada State Route 160 in Pahrump,
Nevada, United States. On the same day
they also beat its own 0–400–0 km/h
record they set a few weeks prior (33.29
seconds compared to the old record of
36.44 seconds).[57][58] It was later
confirmed via the instrumentation that the
car topped out at 457.94 km/h
(284.55 mph).[57][58]

On 23 September 2019, Koenigsegg set a

new 0–400–0 km/h world record when a
Koenigsegg Regera completed the run in
31.49 seconds. This was 1.8 seconds
faster than Koenigsegg's previously
unbeaten record, set by the Agera RS in
2017.[77]
