Answer 1

koenigsegg is a high performance swedish manufacturer of cars. theyve made the CC8, CC8s, CCR, and CCX. all are pretty rediculous and awesome. IIRC the older models used a Twin turbo 4.6L ford engine in them, and the new ones use a 4.7L koenigsegg engine.

they have a very hgih crash rate due to having too mcuh power for most drivers. if you want more info on them, visit the forums on www.supercars.net. theres a huge wealth of knowledge on there.

i do suggest treading lightly on supercars.net though. were not n00b friendly, esp if you talk out of your ****.

Answer 2

Christian von Koenigsegg grew up with the dream of creating the perfect sportscar. After several years of planning he launched the Koenigsegg project in 1993. Designer David Craaford provided a design concept following Christian’s guidelines. A tight-knit group of competent people was gathered and a prototype was assembled, the success of which enabled the foundation of Koenigsegg Automotive Ltd.

In the year 2000 Koenigsegg started the series-production of the CC 8S model. It proved to the world that it was indeed possible for a small and dedicated group of enthusiasts to rival the old established supercar brands.

In the spring of 2004 Koenigsegg launched the CCR, a vehicle that leaves all others behind. The Koenigsegg headquarters is now in a large Fighter Jet facility, which houses 30 full time staff plus several extras.

They include 4 engineers, 3 R&D staff, 4 composite technicians, 4 pre- assembly staff, 2 engine assembly staff, 5 final assembly staff, 2 storage staff and 5 at PR, sales, administration and leadership. Extra personnel are called in when needed, usually for development purposes. Presently 7 vehicles can be assembled simultaneously, with 4 stations in the pre-assembly hall and 3 in the final assembly hall.

A large network of suppliers and partners is tied to Koenigsegg, most of which are based in Sweden. Many are small companies and craftsmen that produce low volumes of high quality components. Both the assembly and the manufacture of the components is very labour intensive (e.g. all 300+ carbonfibre parts that make up each car), and the materials are without exception very costly. This is the reason for the high price of a Koenigsegg.
