My love for the bonkers world that is Koenigsegg knows no bounds. It’s a deep unadulterated love that should only be reserved for a fine wine or a glorious sunset overlooking some great vista. In other words, it’s probably not that healthy, but who cares, I love their cars. Especially the sound they make, it […] More »

I’ve never met him, but I’m pretty sure Christian von Koenigsegg is a cool guy.  He made his own supercar company and he’s been nice enough to allow /DRIVE full video access to his Swedish factory. His firm’s creations are another story.  Their numbers are absolutely red-hot.  Especially those of the One:1: 1,360 horsepower and […] More »

United States customers have only had the option of one Swedish automaker in the past few years: Volvo.  Don’t get me wrong – I’m sure they’re wonderful cars.  Colin Powell certainly thinks so.  But they’re not quite as sporty as Saabs.

This car is so over the top, it doesn’t just make 1,341 horsepower.  It generates one megawatt. Maximum torque from the revised twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 is 1,011 pound-feet.  And that’s without […] More »

When Rob Ferretti is not showing internet surfers what it’s like to own a Ferrari 360, he’s sharing information and footage about other awesome exotics. And cars don’t get much more awesome or exotic than the all-carbon-fiber Koenigsegg Agera R.  Top speed of 273 miles per hour.  One thousand, one hundred and forty horsepower from […] More »

Usually, a score of one to one is boring.  Nobody’s winning.  In Swedish, when spoken by Koenigsegg Automotive AB, it translates to “one horsepower per one kilogram of weight.”  And not just dry weight, either.  Christian von Koenigsegg, the founder of the eponymous firm, said his upcoming gut punch to competitors in the hypercar realm […] More »
