Photos from the scene show both airbags deployed. Damage to the car appears extensive, however both doors opened as normal. At this time not many further details of the incident are known, and it is too soon to ascertain how this will effect future lap attempts by the company at the 'Ring. Koenigsegg themselves have thus far released only a brief statement, the entirety of which is reproduced below.
On Koengisegg's official page, company representative Steven Wade answered the question of rebuilding , with "Absolutely. Annual Anniversary Post In the past year or so our Registry page has seen large increases in traffic, and our companion Facebook page now has over 24, followers.
A big thank you to all of our fans! In early as part of a larger project I began researching Koenigsegg along with some other boutique exotics. It was not easy to find much information about them but I did discover a Koenigsegg subforum at M5Board. While researching Spykers I had found the SpykerOwner. It did not take me long to decide that there should be something similar for Koenigseggs; to my surprise, at that time one did not yet exist. I had only two cars positively identified by VIN.
In the years that followed the Registry grew quickly with input from many people. I learned a LOT about Koenigseggs during this time, and grew to love the company as my favorite car brand.
Late in the M5Board ownership changed hands and for a while the Registry was lost. So in July I set about establishing a standalone website for the Registry, and the task of rebuilding and re-collecting the data began. Because the new Registry was going to be much more detailed than the old one. Luckily, some folks I had met during the course of years of Koenigsegg research, stepped up and volunteered their time to contribute.
Today our team is five dedicated Koenigsegg fans in addition to myself, putting together what I humbly believe is one of the better marque registries out there. But we are as dedicated to it as ever. This is an exciting time for Koenigsegg. It should not be possible to achieve this on such excruciatingly low production volume, yet they have done it, and the arrival of each new Koenigsegg still remains a singular event.
We hope all of our followers continued to be satisfied with our work. March 1, Every year we wait in anticipation for what new treasures Koenigsegg will present to us at the Geneva Auto Show. Today saw the release of the first Regera in production specification trim, as well as a lovely yellow Agera RS dubbed ML for the owner , and the first of three Final editions of the Agera series. We have inserted photos of these three new cars , and repsectively on their placeholder data pages.
Full data pages will debut in due time! And more pictures of these beauties will doubtless continue to stream in all week. But for now at least you know that of course we already have the VINs for these cars!
You saw it here first on Koenigsegg-Registry. December 13, Agera RS production in high gear. The assembly line for the Agera RS series is apparently in full swing!
Besides the white example currently at Alain Class, we have seen also two more fully completed cars, 's and the red and blue cars below, respectively. We have confirmation on these two numbers thanks to our friend Johan, and Koenigsegg themselves! The big news at the moment however has to be the build of Not only will this be the first U. For now, we have "placeholder" data pages for these four cars here on the site.
Rest assured that as we get more information for these cars, we will complete these pages as soon as possible! October 28, This fantastic looking black and white example awaits a buyer, but for now we all have time to drool in its majesty!
It's assumed to be , but we are working hard to confirm that for you. Other Agera RS's have been spotted out and about the factory, several should be ready for delivery in short order. We'll be back to update very soon! Above three photos: www. August 25, What Happened to the Lost Trevita? The Mystery of the Angelholm Diamond. Koenigsegg may be a young company with only a comparatively small number of cars to their name, but like any great supercar marque, they have already started to accumulate their own collection of legends.
Unconfirmed and unconfirmable top speeds, tales of cars that disappear into private collections and become mythical in their untraceability, rumours and stories of all kinds abound. Some of them can be debunked, some are open to debate, some are just waiting for a keen spotter with a camera to be in the right place at the right time.
But the car that every Koenigsegg enthusiast would give their right arm to find, the Moby Dick of hypercars — this is a title that could be given to only one car. The lost Koenigsegg diamond: the legendary third Trevita.
When Koenigsegg confirmed that they were going to build a special version of the CCXR and name it the Trevita, the name had several layers of meaning. Unique yet identical, specced by Koenigsegg themselves rather than their future owners, the Trevitas were to be a silver and crystal trinity of the most beautiful cars on earth.
However, only two Trevitas have ever been seen, documented, or displayed to the world. The most diligent efforts of the international Koenigsegg fanbase have never tracked down the final car, leaving a mystery beyond solution.
Where is the lost Trevita? Was it ever built? Was it destroyed? Does it still exist in some hidden bunker at Koenigsegg HQ, or was it sold to a buyer so fabulously wealthy that they never felt the need to even admit that they owned it? Nobody has ever been able to find out. However, based on the available information, we have a theory. Want to hear it? The third Trevita does exist. But it is, and always has been, in disguise.
How can this be? The two known Trevitas are chassis , and These two cars have been seen, positively identified and photographed in detail many times, so there is no mystery around either of them. Every car from at least 60 to 80 is confirmed and known to exist.
So, one might argue, perhaps Koenigsegg simply decided not to build the third Trevita? They built and , then gave up on the project. And this might seem like the logical explanation, except for two things.
First, Koenigsegg themselves continued to maintain for several years that three Trevitas were built, even though only two can be proven to exist. Secondly and more significantly: , the European Trevita, has been exhibited as Trevita 1 of 3. Three of three. The missing car, then, was or is in fact the second Trevita. This leaves two possibilities:. Koenigsegg have left gaps in their chassis numbering sequence before for a range of reasons, and there seems to be no reason why they would have erased the second Trevita in particular with such thoroughness.
There is no known mystery around this car and no reason to believe it was ever anything other than the car we now see. However, while this confusion does confirm that Koenigsegg are willing to change the planned specs on a car in mid-build if they see reason to do so, there is nothing to suggest that might ever have been anything to do with the Trevita project.
It has the same features as the other five CCXR Edition cars, all of which were planned as a set, and when completed it went to a dealership rather than a private client so there is no reason why it would have undergone a spec change of this magnitude if it had ever been scheduled as a Trevita. This leaves , which in terms of the numbering scheme alone seems the most plausible candidate for the missing Trevita as it would fit the pattern Koenigsegg followed with the CCXR Editions — four of these cars were built in alternating sequence with regular customer cars 52, 54, 56 and So, what can we say about ?
It is unique among all the CCXR series, with a combination of features that were selected personally by Al-Thani to suit his own wishes.
However, some of these features are worth noting. Even more remarkably, it has the silver and black-accented nine-spoke alloy wheels that are otherwise exclusive to the Trevitas. Why, however, would Koenigsegg choose to turn one of their special-project exclusive cars into an even more exclusive one-off edition for a client? We can only speculate, but one possibility is that Al-Thani may have asked Koenigsegg to provide him with a car faster than would have been feasible if they had added his car to the end of the current build schedule and completed it from scratch.
Why sacrifice the second Trevita in particular for such a cause, though? Perhaps because the Trevita project, glorious as the Trevitas are, was really a whim of Koenigsegg themselves. If was scheduled as a Trevita but had no projected buyer and was simply being built on-spec, then if it had been completed but not sold immediately it would have been a resource sink for the company until it found a buyer.
Conversely, a car that could be sold upfront to a client of such impeccable credentials as Al-Thani would offer both an immediate financial return, and the opportunity to earn both the goodwill of Al-Thani himself and potentially more customers from among his friends and acquaintances. Incidentally, Koenigsegg themselves have repeatedly claimed that three Trevitas were built , but been silent on whether all three still exist. Given this, the theory that the second Trevita was completed, or at least partly completed, and then modified to fill a customer order would have the advantage of technically fitting the facts as Koenigsegg have stated them.
This is, of course, purely speculation. However, we can say that logic suggests the second Trevita should have been in one of the build slots between the known first and third ones; and of the three possible options, is the only one that looks more like a Trevita than it does like anything else. So is the Special One really the lost Trevita? August 12, The One:1 has landed in the U. The final One:1 to be built has made its way to California, to make appearances at Monterey car week!
You can bet this stunning example has generated a lot of attention. Updates are coming in rapidly, so check our Facebook page. In the meantime, enjoy this photo below, the best look we have yet of this horsepower wonder!
From what we've heard, this particular example will be staying here in the U. We've also got the full VIN to this car, you can see it on its data page abbreviated, for now. Happy Anniversary to Us! March 3, Geneva Auto Show I love this time of year! Other renowned race-car drivers to test the prototype included Picko Troberg and Calle Rosenblad. The concept worked. It was time to introduce Koenigsegg to prospective buyers.
Satisfactory test results from earlier driving, combined with the great media coverage at Cannes, enabled the company to go forward and engage in the creation of a finished product. In , Koenigsegg moved from their original workshop on the south-east coast town of Olofstrom, to a new workshop in the south-west, in a town called Margretetorp.
The first Koenigsegg production prototype made its public debut at the Paris Motor Show in September, The car on show was the first ever Koenigsegg CC8S production prototype, which later became the test car and crash-test car that enabled Koenigsegg to homologate vehicles for sale. It featured an early version of the hp Koenigsegg engine that would later feature in customer cars. Its minimalistic, clean, styling set it apart from its peers and it laid the foundation for every future Koenigsegg in terms of aesthetics, philosophy, and functionality.
Six examples of the CC8S were produced in total, making it one of the rarest Koenigsegg models ever. Two of those six cars were right-hand drive.
In , the engine in the Koenigsegg CC8S was certified by Guinness World Records as being the most powerful engine in a series produced car, in the world. The engine produced kW hp. The Koenigsegg factory at Margretetorp was a historic building with a thatched roof. While the roof made the building quite pretty, it was also very susceptible to fire.
That fire happened in February Thankfully, even though it was a Saturday, there were members of staff on site who managed to save vehicles and tooling from the flames. Many company records were lost, however. The CCR featured an upgraded body design with a larger front splitter, a rear wing, larger brakes, larger wheels and tires plus an upgraded chassis and suspension setup. The CCR also had a more powerful, twin-supercharged engine, producing an astonishing hp. The CCR was equipped with an uprated engine, which added more than hp for a total output of hp.
Guinness World Records verified this output and this record in Watch the video. While it retained the traditional Koenigsegg layout — mid-engined V8, carbonfibre tub with a removable and stowable roof — the CCX was a completely new car. It was slightly larger, designed from the ground up with worldwide homologation in mind and meeting all world standards for safety and emissions.
The Trevita featured a special proprietary white carbonfibre weave, developed by Koenigsegg especially for this model. It was a true bridge between the CCX and Agera models and with just two examples made, it remains one of the rarest Koenigsegg models ever. Koenigsegg will build 80 Regeras in total over a period of five years. The Koenigsegg RS is fully homologated for sale in all countries and 25 units will be produced.
