The Swedish supercar maker's incredible machines come in many different forms.
The history of sports car start-ups is littered with broken dreams, but for those who succeed in bringing their visions to life, their names go down in history. Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, and Porsche were all just men once upon a time; today, they’re legends known by billions of people all around the world.
The turn of the 21st century brought a new batch of dreamers, and while many of them have swung for the fences and missed, a trio of new automakers has risen to create a host of modern-day icons: Pagani, Rimac, and Koenigsegg. The latter, in particular, has carved out a specific niche for itself under the vision of founder and CEO Christian von Koenigsegg. Not only does Koenigsegg create gorgeous works of automotive art, the company also engineers its own powerplants, suspensions, gearboxes, and other major mechanical pieces, often ones of shocking complexity.
So, with the company marking its 30th anniversary here in 2024, we thought it a good opportunity to rank the 10 greatest Koenigseggs, because, of course, all Koenigseggs aren’t created equal.Every story has to start somewhere, and for Koenigsegg, it was the CC. Three operational copies of the prototype were crafted as Christian von Koenigsegg, or CvK, spent six years starting in 1994 fleshing out his idea as to what the perfect hypercars would look like, sound like and drive like.
