Ford Granada with the heart of a Koenigsegg CCX
Two mad Norwegians – Joel Olsen and Ingar Byman – have transplanted the Ford V8 from the Koenigsegg CCX in to a Mk II Granada – Project ZZZ…ZZZ. The MK II Granada was a perfectly decent big Ford in the days Ford made big cars. Wallowy, yes, but better as the 2.8i than the 2.8 and even […]
Koenigsegg: Men in a shed in Sweden – the 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, […]

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.

Koenigsegg Agera & Agera R 2012 updates
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)
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.

All the way from the first Koenigsegg, the CC8S, to the very latest, the Koenigsegg Agera we […]
