Christian von Koenigsegg grew up with the dream of creating the perfect sportscar. After several years of planning he launched the Koenigsegg project in 1993. Designer David Craaford provided a design concept following Christian's guidelines. A tight-knit group of competent people was gathered and a prototype was assembled, the success of which enabled the foundation of Koenigsegg Automotive Ltd.
On the 5th of March Koenigsegg was honoured by a visit from the Swedish King in Geneva during the ongoing auto show. His majesty Carl XVI Gustaf has a well known interest in sports cars.
