The Legacy
of Ultimate Performance
A record-breaking tradition courses through our history – the result of pushing the boundaries of automotive technology to achieve higher standards in ultimate performance.
Koenigsegg
Automotive
is born
'94
22-year old Christian von Koenigsegg
starts Koenigsegg Automotive on
August 12, 1994. A classic David versus
Goliath narrative takes shape. It begins
with a young man who had no track
record of car manufacturing and little
funding. But he was armed with a deep
passion for ultimate performance and a
dream to build the world’s greatest
sports car.
'96
The first drive
After nearly two years in the making,
Koenigsegg’s concept vehicle – ‘CC’ –
was finally driven in public for the first
time by Rickard Rydell at an event at
Anderstorp race track in 1996. Other
race-car drivers to test the prototype
included Picko Troberg and Calle
Rosenblad. The concept worked
spectacularly, and was a great start to
introducing Koenigsegg to prospective
buyers.
Success
At Cannes
'97
The Koenigsegg CC prototype was
shown at the Cannes Film Festival and
its success was immediate. Satisfactory
test results from earlier driving,
combined with the great media coverage
at Cannes, enabled the company to go
forward and engage in the creation of a
finished product.
A NEW HOME
IN THE
SOUTH-WEST
'99
In 1998, Koenigsegg moved from their
original workshop on the south-east
coast town of Olofstrom, to a new
workshop in the south-west, in a town
called Margretetorp.
MOTOR SHOW
DEBUT
IN PARIS
'00
KOENIGSEGG CC PROTOTYPE
The first Koenigsegg production
prototype made its public debut at the
Paris Motor Show in September, 2000.
The car on show was the first-ever
Koenigsegg CC8S production prototype,
which later became the test car and
crash-test car that enabled Koenigsegg
to homologate vehicles for sale. It
featured an early version of the 655 hp
Koenigsegg engine that would later
feature in customer cars.
Koenigsegg
CC8S
'02
CC8S
The first CC8S, short for Competition
Coupe V8 Supercharged, was built in
2002 and delivered at the Geneva Motor
Show in March, 2003. Its minimalistic,
clean styling set it apart from its peers
and it laid the foundation for every
Koenigsegg that followed in terms of
aesthetics, philosophy, and functionality.
The CC8S was awarded a Guinness
World Record in 2002 for the world’s
most powerful production engine. It also
received a Red Dot Design Award in the
same year. Six examples of the CC8S
were produced in total, making it one of
the rarest Koenigsegg models ever. Two
of those six cars were right-hand drive.
'03
FIRE!
The Koenigsegg factory at Margretetorp
was a heritage building with a thatched
roof. While the roof was a charming
element, it was also very susceptible to
fire. A fire occurred in February 2003
when the company was only two weeks
away from showing the CC8S at the
Geneva Motor Show. Thankfully, even
though it was a Saturday, there were
members of staff on site who managed
to save vehicles and tooling from the
flames. Sadly, many of the company’s
earliest records were lost in the fire.
CCR UNVEILED
'04
THE CCR
The Koenigsegg CCR was an evolution
of the CC8S, produced between 2004
and 2006 in 14 examples. The CCR
featured an upgraded body design with
a larger front splitter, a rear wing, larger
brakes, larger wheels and tires, plus an
upgraded chassis and suspension
setup. The CCR also had a more
powerful, twin-supercharged engine,
producing an astonishing 806 hp.
'04
WORLD'S
MOST POWERFUL
PRODUCTION CAR
In 2004, the Koenigsegg CCR eclipsed
the Guinness ‘Most Powerful Engine’
record, previously set by the
Koenigsegg CC8S in 2002. The CCR
was equipped with an uprated engine,
which added more than 150 hp for a
total output of 806 hp.
'05
WORLD'S
FASTEST CAR
The world’s fastest car at the beginning
of 2005 was the legendary McLaren F1,
with a speed of 386.4 km/h set in 1998.
Koenigsegg took the new CCR to
Nardo, Italy, in February 2005 to attempt
a new record. The car had been at
Nardo for a week without breaking the
record but the new mark was finally set
on the last day, with a new top speed of
387.86 km/h recorded. The car was
packed up and shipped directly from
Nardo to Geneva for the 2005 Geneva
Motor Show that afternoon.
'07
KOENIGSEGG
CCXR
The world’s first ‘green’ supercar was
launched in 2007 with the worldwide
debut of the Koenigsegg CCXR. The
CCXR took Koenigsegg’s potent
twin-supercharged V8 to a whole new
level thanks to a flex-fuel sensor and
hardware allowing the car to run on
either regular gasoline, E85 (85%
ethanol) or any mix in between. The
higher octane rating of E85 fuel lifted
the total output of the CCXR to 1,018
hp, a record at the time. The CCXR also
debuted Koenigsegg’s new Chrono
instrument cluster, providing advanced
safety and aesthetics. One CCXR
model was specially built to allow it to
run on E100 fuel. It features a blue ‘R’
badge on the side flank instead of the
traditional green.
KOENIGSEGG
CCGT
'07
The 2007 Geneva Motor Show also saw
the public debut of the Koenigsegg
CCGT race car. The CCGT was
developed as a side project with the
ambition of racing in the GT1 class at Le
Mans. Weighing just under 1,000 kg and
with a naturally aspirated V8 engine
making 600 hp, the CCGT was very
impressive in testing and looked to be
very competitive. Sadly, Koenigsegg’s
racing ambitions were quashed when
the FIA changed the regulations for the
GT1 class, imposing higher minimum
production numbers that Koenigsegg
was unable to meet.
'08
KOENIGSEGG
CCX AND CCXR
EDITIONS
Koenigsegg launched the CCX ‘Edition’
and CCXR ‘Edition’ models at the
Geneva Motor Show in March, 2008.
The Edition models featured a beautiful
clear-carbon body, Edition 11-spoke
wheels, bespoke aerodynamics and
specially tuned suspension to further
improve the CCX and CCXR’s already
legendary handling. The CCX Edition
received a slight horsepower bump up
to 888 hp, whereas the CCXR Edition’s
output remained at 1,018 hp. There
were 4 CCXR Editions made, and just 2
CCX Editions.
'08
CCX
SPEED RECORDS
The Koenigsegg CCX set several new
speed records in 2008 with Horst von
Saurma, editor of Sport Auto magazine,
behind the wheel. The Koenigsegg CCX
set a new performance benchmark for
0-300-0 km/h, completing the run in just
29.2 seconds. Even today, many high
performance cars only reach the 300
km/h mark in such a time, let alone the
braking segment. The CCX also
accelerated from 0-200 km/h in 9.3
seconds.
KOENIGSEGG
CCX TREVITA
'09
Koenigsegg announced a limited edition
in September 2009 – the CCXR
‘Trevita’. The Trevita featured a special
proprietary white carbon fiber weave,
developed by Koenigsegg especially for
this model. Trevita means ‘three whites’
in Swedish and the original intention
was to build an edition of three cars.
Only two were built, however, tying the
Trevita with the CCX Edition And CCXR
Special Edition as the most exclusive
limited run in Koenigsegg’s history.
'09
KOENIGSEGG CCXR
SPECIAL EDITION
The CCXR Special Edition was
specifically commissioned to see off the
CCX-range in style before the arrival of
the Agera. The Special Edition featured
a exclusive double F1 wing,
all-clear-carbon body work, Agera-style
rear wheel venting, revised
aerodynamics, Koenigsegg’s first ever
paddle-shift transmission and a new
touchscreen infotainment system for the
interior. The CCXR Special Edition was
a highest-specification bridge between
the CCX and Agera models and with
just two examples made, it remains one
of the rarest Koenigsegg models ever.
KOENIGSEGG
Agera
'10
Agera means “to take action” and there
has never been a more appropriate
name for a car. The Koenigsegg Agera,
unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in
March 2010, was Koenigsegg taking
action – moving the brand forward into
bold, new territory. The Agera featured a
new interior highlighted by Koenigsegg’s
new ‘ghost’ lighting system. It had
Koenigsegg’s new VGR wheels,
designed like turbines to extract heat
from the car’s brakes. It also marked the
change from twin-supercharging to
twin-turbocharging. Koenigsegg
completely redesigned its exhaust
system to virtually eliminate turbo-lag,
opening up a world of power potential
while still retaining a light, compact
engine package. This allowed the Agera
to arrive with a full 960 hp and over
1,100 Nm of torque – more than enough
to ‘take action’ whenever you need. The
Agera won the Top Gear Hypercar of
the Year award in 2010.
KOENIGSEGG
Agerar
'11
By 2011, Koenigsegg had already been
working with ethanol fuels for four years
and it was only natural that the Agera
would receive an engine capable of
working with this power-boosting jungle
juice. Thus, the Koenigsegg Agera R
was born. The Agera R could run on
any fuel from 95 octane pump gas to
E100 biofuel. It produced 960 hp on
regular 95 octane but this output jumped
to a massive 1,140 hp on either E85 or
E100, with 1,200 Nm of torque.
'11
AGERAR
0-300-0 Record
In 2008, the Koenigsegg CCX set a time
of 29.2 seconds for the 0-300-0 km/h
run. That’s amazingly fast, even by
today’s standards. The Koenigsegg
Agera R showed just how far the
company had progressed in three short
years, with a 0-300-0 time of just 21.19
seconds. Margins should be small at the
sharp end of the performance segment,
but this was a massive 8 second
improvement, and far ahead of any
competitor times.
'12
KOENIGSEGG
Agera S
The Koenigsegg Agera S was
configured in 2012 for markets where
the biofuels needed for maximising
output in the Agera R were not
available. Thanks to new engine
mapping and hardware, the Agera S
was the first Koenigsegg to make over
1,000 hp on regular, 95 octane pump
gasoline, with maximum output of 1,040
hp. The Agera S also saw the debut of
Koenigsegg’s AirCore hollow
carbonfibre wheels. These revolutionary
new wheels weighed 40% less than
regular alloy wheels – a massive saving
in un-sprung weight that provides both
acceleration and handling benefits.
Koenigsegg was the first manufacturer
to offer carbonfibre wheels on factory
built cars and is still the only OEM
making its own carbonfibre wheels
in-house.
KOENIGSEGG
ONE:1
'14
The One:1 was the world’s first
production car with a 1:1
power-to-weight ratio. Around 100kg
was shaved from the Agera R to
achieve a 1,360kg curb weight to match
its 1,360hp twin-turbo V8 engine (on
E85). The One:1 was the most extreme
Koenigsegg ever at its debut, with
blistering acceleration and an amazing
2g of lateral grip. Developments specific
to the One:1 include: track-optimized
aero winglets, extended venturi tunnels
and side splitters, Le-Mans inspired
top-mounted active rear wing and active
under-trim air management, large air
vents to improve cooling, a roof air
scoop, 8250 RPM rev limit, custom
Michelin Cup Tires, upgraded rear
Triplex suspension with carbon bevel
springs, active shock absorbers and ride
height management. The One:1 claimed
lap records at Spa-Francorchamps and
Suzuka Circuit in 2015. Six customer
cars were built, along with one factory
development car.
'15
KOENIGSEGG
REGERA
DEBUT
Koenigsegg announced a new
revolution at Geneva 2015, with the
launch of the all-new Koenigsegg
Regera. The Regera featured three
electric motors combined with a
powerful twin-turbo V8 and a
high-performance, ultra-light battery
pack to produce over 1,500 hp. Even
more amazing is that all of this power is
sent directly to the rear wheels as the
Regera has no gearbox. The Regera
uses a system called Koenigsegg Direct
Drive, which uses the electric motors to
propel the car at takeoff with the
combustion engine contributing drive
from around 30 km/h and beyond. The
transition from electric to combustion
drive is progressive and seamless,
providing both blistering performance
and the ultimate in comfort. Koenigsegg
built 80 Regeras in total.
KOENIGSEGG
AGERA RS
'15
Koenigsegg used the Geneva Motor
Show in March 2015 to show the new
Koenigsegg Agera RS. The Agera RS
took everything that Koenigsegg learned
in the development of the extreme
One:1 and dialled it back – just a notch
– to make a more comfortable version of
Koenigsegg’s extreme road and track
monster. The Agera RS featured
Koenigsegg’s highest ever output
running only on regular 95-octane
gasoline at that time – 1160 hp. It was
also a technology powerhouse with
advanced aerodynamics, stability
management, software updates and
active suspension settings stored in the
Koenigsegg cloud. All developed and
managed in-house at Koenigsegg. The
Koenigsegg RS was fully homologated
for sale worldwide. 25 units were
produced.
'15
0-300-0 km/h
One:1
In 2008, the Koenigsegg CCX did the
0-300-0 km/h run in 29.2 seconds. In
2011, the Koenigsegg Agera R did the
same run in 21.19 seconds. In July
2015, the Koenigsegg One:1 shaved
more than three seconds from the
Agera R’s time, recording an amazing
17.95 seconds. That’s from zero to 300
km/h and then back to zero – a pure test
of both acceleration and braking.
'16
KOENIGSEGG AGERA
FINAL EDITION
Koenigsegg announced a grand finale
for the Agera model line with a limited
edition of three Agera Final models. The
Agera Final editions were based on the
Koenigsegg Agera RS but offered
unparalleled levels of customization.
Clients could specify any equipment
from the Koenigsegg options list – free
of charge – and Koenigsegg also
worked with the client to develop
bespoke aerodynamics that will only
ever be used on their specific car. It is
the ultimate expression of the Agera
philosophy. The first Agera Final edition
was built in time for the 2016 Geneva
Motor Show and is called the One of
One. The two remaining Agera Final
editions were built at the end of the
Agera RS production run.
'17
Highest top speed
RECORD
FOR THE AGERA RS
On November 4th, 2017, the
Koenigsegg Agera RS achieved five
new world records for a production
vehicle in Pahrump, Nevada, USA.
Driven by factory driver, Niklas Lilja, the
Agera RS attained the highest top
speed for a production vehicle,
calculated using an average of two runs
– one in either direction. The record
speed achieved was 447.19 km/h
(277.87 mph). On the same day, the
Agera RS clocked 33.29 seconds from
0-400-0kmh, beating the previous time
of 36.44 seconds set by the same car in
Denmark one month earlier. The highest
average speed for a flying kilometer on
a public road was also recorded,
calculated after running the car in two
directions, at 445.63 km/h. A new flying
mile record was also achieved, at
444.76 kmh. Lastly, the RS also saw the
highest speed achieved on a public road
(single direction), measured at 457.94
km/h (284.55 mph).
'19
KOENIGSEGG JESKO
The Koenigsegg Jesko made its debut
at the 2019 Geneva International Motor
Show. Named after Jesko von
Koenigsegg, the father of company
Founder/CEO, Christian von
Koenigsegg, the Jesko inherited the
Agera RS mantle as the leading
track-focused, road-legal car for those
seeking the ultimate in vehicle
performance. The Jesko is fitted with a
redesigned 5.0 liter twin-turbo V8
producing 1280 bhp (on normal
gasoline) or 1600 bhp (on E85) and the
revolutionary 9-speed Koenigsegg Light
Speed Transmission. Advanced
aerodynamics offer up to 1400kg of
downforce and combine with active
rear-wheel steering to offer faster
cornering, better maneuverability,
improved steering feel, more grip and
increased confidence.
'19
Koenigsegg Regera
0-400-0 km/h
RECORD
At Råda military airfield deep in the
forests of Sweden, Koenigsegg set a
new 0-400-0 km/h world record when a
Koenigsegg Regera completed the run
in 31.49 seconds on 23rd September
2019. This was 1.8 seconds faster than
Koenigsegg’s previously unbeaten
record, set by the Agera RS in 2017.
The car was driven by Koenigsegg
factory driver Sonny Persson.
'20
KOENIGSEGG
JESKO ABSOLUT
UNVEILED
The Jesko Absolut was unveiled in 2020
as the fastest Koenigsegg that will ever
be made. Its shockingly low drag
coefficient of 0.278 Cd, combined with
its aero features designed and
optimised specifically for high-speed
stability, make the Jesko Absolut a
land-based rocket-ship determined to
reach unheard-of speeds in
record-setting times.
KOENIGSEGG
GEMERA
'20
First revealed in concept form in 2020,
the Gemera was the world’s first
Mega-GT and Koenigsegg’s first
four-seater. Limited to an edition of 300
cars, the Gemera is an extreme
megacar that offers both a spacious
interior for four and groundbreaking
hybrid powertrains. The Gemera
concept was first introduced with a new
‘Tiny Friendly Giant’ engine (TFG) and
Koenigsegg’s proven Direct Drive
system from the Regera. This would
later be complemented with
Koenigsegg’s first ever Hot-Vee V8
engine, and the drive system replaced
with a new Light Speed Tourbillon
Transmission in the Client Specification
version of 2023.
'22
HYPERCAR OF
THE YEAR
The Koenigsegg Jesko was named as
the 2022 Top Gear Awards Hypercar Of
The Year – being noted for its
outstanding aesthetics, performance,
craftsmanship and technology.
KOENIGSEGG
CC850
'22
In celebration of the CC8S’s 20th
anniversary, the Koenigsegg CC850
was revealed at The Quail, during
Monterey Car Week. The CC850 is a
contemporary reimagining of the original
CC8S, and introduces new technology
such as the Engage Shift System and
the Gen 2 Chronocluster. The CC850 is
a dual tribute to 20 years of vehicle
production, as well as the 50th birthday
of company founder and CEO, Christian
von Koenigsegg. 70 units will be
manufactured in total.
'23
GRIPEN ATELIER
GRAND OPENING
The Gripen Atelier adds 10,000m2 of
new space dedicated to development,
design, production, offices, and
showroom space, expanding
Koenigsegg’s total footprint in
Angelholm to 30,000m2. The opening of
the Atelier was also an historic day for
the Swedish automotive industry, being
the first new factory to be built in
Sweden in 50 years.
'23
Koenigsegg Regera
0-400-0 km/h
RECORD
The Koenigsegg Regera took back it’s
title as the world record holder for both
0-400-0 km/h and 0-250-0 mph with a
staggering speed of 28.81 seconds for
km/h and 29.60 seconds for mph.
'23
PRODUCTION SPEC
GEMERA
The Koenigsegg Gemera was revealed
in production form in July 2023. The
Client Specification version of the
Gemera featured innovative new
technologies and expanded powertrain
options. The Dark Matter e-motor
replaced three smaller e-motors. The
Light Speed Tourbillon Transmission
enabled both a new powertrain option
and four-wheel drive and four-wheel
torque vectoring for the first time in a
Koenigsegg. And the introduction of the
Hot-Vee V8 engine meant that the
Gemera would be the most powerful
fully homologated car in the world,
producing 2,300hp (ICE + electric).
