THE FOUNDER

Christian von Koenigsegg

Christian von Koenigsegg is the founder and driving force behind Koenigsegg Automotive AB. Born in Sweden, he developed a fascination for engineering and performance at a very young age, driven by the ambition to build the ultimate supercar.

A Visionary Entrepreneur

At only 22 years old, Christian founded Koenigsegg in 1994 with limited resources but an uncompromising vision. His goal was clear: to challenge the established supercar manufacturers through innovation, efficiency, and radical engineering.

Engineering-Driven Philosophy

Unlike traditional manufacturers, Christian chose to develop key technologies in-house. From lightweight carbon fiber monocoques to revolutionary transmissions and aerodynamics, every Koenigsegg reflects his obsession with performance and efficiency.

Redefining the Hypercar Industry

Under his leadership, Koenigsegg has repeatedly broken records and redefined what is possible in the hypercar world. Models such as the Agera RS, Regera, and Jesko stand as symbols of innovation rather than luxury alone.

Legacy and Future

Today, Christian von Koenigsegg remains deeply involved in every aspect of the brand. His vision continues to shape the future of high-performance engineering, blending sustainability, technology, and extreme performance into a singular philosophy.
