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.
Koenigsegg had an outing at the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring for the first time the other week.
Without any prior setup or adjustment the Koenigsegg CCR managed to lap the ring in 7.39 minutes.
