Christian von Koenigsegg is the owner of the company that builds Koenigsegg hypercars. They are plenty scary. Now, it appears Christian is interested in building something even scarier: a track-only special.
So to follow the Agera RS (pictured above), One:1 ‘megacar’ and the 1,800bhp Regera road-biased performance cars, a Koenigsegg built specifically for circuit work is on the cards.
“That is something we are thinking about,” Christian said when asked if he’d consider moving into the track-car sphere, “but it wouldn’t be [based on] a One:1, because that was optimised as a road car with incredible track performance.
“This would be a track-only car, which therefore has a different philosophy,” he added.
Though Christian wouldn’t reveal any more information, we know that his mind is already keyed into serious track work. Koenigsegg’s plan to set a new lap record at the Nürburgring in the 1,340bhp One:1 hypercar was scuppered only by the ‘Ring’s recent speed restrictions.
Speaking to TopGear.com last year, Christian stated: “Given the straight-line performance of our cars, many people believe they are straight-line rockets.
