[pic 1]

Sweden is an unlikely place for building supercars, but Christian von Koenigsegg succeeded to put this country into the global map of supercar creation. Koenigsegg CC series is not only among the fastest cars in the world, but also built up to very high engineering and quality standard. This make it so appealing to the richest customers in the world. Its sky-high price, in the region of 1 million Euro, means Koenigsegg does not need to produce many cars to survive.

After 8 years of development, testing and homologation, the first customer car was finally delivered in 2002. In the first 2-3 years, Koenigsegg built only 6 cars as it lacked the reputation of established supercar makers. However, it kept improving the car no matter in performance or quality. When the 806-horsepower CCR lapped Nardo test track at 241 mph in 2005, breaking the long-standing speed record of McLaren F1, orders started flowing in. In the next two years, Koenigsegg built another 20 cars. By mid-2008, it had already delivered 60 cars to customers. The latest cars were sold at 1 million Euro each.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW PRODUCT FOR KOENIGSEGG REGERA

The company was founded in 1994 in Sweden by Christian von Koenigsegg, with the intention of producing a "world-class" supercar. Many years of development and prototyping led to the company's first street-legal production car delivery in 2002

Compatibility Auto skin- A feature which is one of a kind in the world and first car to be ever with which operates all body closures completely automatically, at the touch of a button.

Complexity The Koenigsegg has not many services around the world. So every time the car has to be taken to a specified location of the company were experts have to tools to work on them.

Observability the benefits of owning this product give your premiumness, uniqueness and a esteemed status

Risk The Koenigsegg has the certified-legends program which covers the car from the risk of recovery and resale as it’s a fortune invested.

Divisibility The hp-to-kg curb weight ratio is an astonishing 1:1. This is the “dream” equation, previously thought impossible when it comes to fully road legal and usable sports cars. The One:1 is the first homologated production car in the world with one Megawatt of power, thereby making it the world´s first series produced Mega car.
