Koenigsegg: Men in a shed in Sweden – the video

Koenigsegg Video

DRIVEN has had access to Christian von Koenigsegg and the Koenigsegg factory in Sweden for this 30 minute long look at all things Koenigsegg. We tend to refer to Koenigsegg as men in a shed in Sweden, which might sound disparaging – but it isn’t. It’s a big doff of the cap to an operation which, [...]

Koenigsegg Agera R hits 250mph at Nurburgring

The incredible Koenigsegg Agera R has hit a top speed of 249.54mph at a private event at the Nurburgring and we have it on video. We have a huge hankering for the cars that Christian von Koenigsegg produces, and none more so than the Koenigsegg Agera R. Koenigsegg has endowed the 2012 Agera R with a raft of improvements to make [...]

New Konigsegg Agera R: Geneva 2012

Konigsegg Agera R Geneva 2012

The new for 2012 Koenigsegg Agera R has arrived on the floor at Geneva 2012 and it looks stunning. We have a big soft spot for the wondrous creations of Christian von Koenigsegg, and the latest versions of the Agera and Agera R bring even more to the party than before. We had the chance to get [...]

Koenigsegg Agera & Agera R 2012 updates

2012 Koenigsegg Agera R

Koenigsegg has revealed improvements to the Agera and Agera R for 2012, which will debut at Geneva next week. We’re not sure just how many Koenigsegg Agera R models have actually been built and delivered (or the standard Agera R, for that matter), but however many it is it’s not more than a handful. Still, [...]

Koenigsegg Agera R World Speed Records now official (video)

Koenigsegg Agera R World Speed Record Video

One of the speed records set back in September by the incredible Koenigsegg Agera R has now been ratified by Guinness - 0-300-0 km/h (0-186-0 mph) in 21.9 seconds. As we say every time Koenigsegg jumps in to vision with another bonkers car or speed feat, we’re amazed at just what a handful of men with beards (except [...]

Koenigsegg Agera R claims world speed records

Koenigsegg Agera R – timed at Koenigsegg’s Ängelholm proving ground in Sweden – has achieved a 0-200mph time of 17.68sec. We are constantly amazed at what the three men in a shed in the snow in Sweden that are Koenigsegg Automotive AB can achieve. All the way from the first Koenigsegg, the CC8S,  to the very latest, the Koenigsegg Agera we [...]

Koenigsegg Agera at Goodwood: Up close and personal

Koenigsegg Agera Goodwood 2011

The only Koenigsegg Agera in the UK was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and we got an opportunity to have a good look round. We have to confess that we have a huge soft spot for the creations of Christian von Koenigsegg. So when we knew that friend of Cars UK Tommy Wareham, purveyor [...]

Koenigsegg Agera R road test video

There is only one production Koenigsegg Agera R in existence, and Swedish journalist Erik Gustafsson of  Teknikens Varld Magazine got to play and video it. It would be nice to think Christian von Koenigesegg had given us a call to see if we’d like to go and play with the Koenigsegg Agera R, and record our [...]

Koenigsegg Agera R: Performance figures

We finally have performance figures for the Koenigsegg Agera R, which will hit 62mph in 2.9 seconds and carry on to 261mph We managed to break the story that the seemingly one-off Koenigsegg Agera R was going in to production, back in January. Which was the first story of any note to come from Koenigsegg since [...]
