The Latest Breaking News from Christian von Koenigsegg

The world's biggest names in performance and ultra-luxury cars are delaying or re-balancing their EV plans as demand and brand identity force a rethink.

All it took for Koenigsegg to reclaim the 0-249-0 mph record from Rimac was a few software tweaks to the Jesko Absolut. The company’s software engineers recalibrated the Light Speed Transmission and engine management system while introducing a new torque control system that now allows the Absolut to manage traction…

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is one of the most capable production cars on the planet. It's already set a handful of speed records thanks to its 1,600-horsepower V-8 and trippy nine-speed "Light Speed Transmission." Now, the car can add yet another record to its growing list of accolades. 

Christian von Koenigsegg might make hypercars that push the boundaries of automotive engineering, but he has a commute to work like the rest of us. You’d think he would drive one of his own creations, but a recent Instagram post reveals his commuter car is something much simpler—a Toyota GR…

Koenigsegg doesn't do things conventionally. The Swedish hypercar maker's creations are home to all sorts of unusual, ingenious engineering solutions. That's true of the Gemera, Koenigsegg's first four-seater and its first all-wheel drive car. As founder Christian von Koenigsegg explains in this video, the Gemera doesn't have a differential.

Mate Rimac said the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack needs 'a little less traction control.'

In 2005, a rogue employee designed and built this Swedish hot rod in his garage. Volvo liked it so much, they brought it to SEMA.

So few people wanted the Tiny Friendly Giant that Koenigsegg had to convince them to go V-8.

It hit over 500 km/h in a simulated top-speed run on the chassis dyno.
