KOENIGSEGG'S HISTORY

The Birth of Koenigsegg

Koenigsegg was born in Sweden in 1994 around the dream of Christian von Koenigsegg: to create a national supercar. The brand has evolved from handcrafted prototypes to record-breaking hypercars, thanks to highly integrated engineering and limited production.

Origins

Koenigsegg Automotive AB was founded in Ängelholm, Sweden, by Christian von Koenigsegg, who launched his project on August 12, 1994 with the ambition of building "the greatest supercar in the world," despite limited resources and little industrial experience.

Key Milestones and Landmark Models

The brand's trajectory is reflected through its models: CC8S (early 2000s), CCR (speed record), CCX (designed for international markets), Agera (versatile platform), One:1 (unprecedented power-to-weight ratio), Regera (high-performance hybrid), and Jesko (designed for track and extreme performance). Each generation has brought records, innovations, and increasing visibility for the brand on the global stage.

Industrial Philosophy of Koenigsegg

Koenigsegg stands out for its in-house engineering approach: the in-house development of key components, extensive use of composite materials like carbon fiber, and original technical solutions (transmissions, aerodynamics, hybrid systems). Production remains artisanal and limited, prioritizing quality, customization, and innovation over quantity.
