Koenigsegg Automotive is a Swedish manufacturer of high-performance hypercars and advanced vehicle technologies. Founded in 1994 by Christian von Koenigsegg, the company is known for producing some of the world's fastest and most innovative hypercars, such as the Jesko, Regera and Gemera. In addition to hypercars, the company also develops proprietary engine technologies, electric drive systems and carbon fibre innovations for the wider automotive industry.
Koenigsegg designs, develops, and manufactures exclusive hypercars in very limited series. Each car is hand-built, offering a combination of extreme performance, cutting-edge technology, and a high degree of customization. In addition to its vehicles, the company develops components and technologies - such as electric drivetrains and lightweight materials - that are used in its own models and licensed to other automotive manufacturers. Koenigsegg also conducts research in sustainable performance technologies, including hybrid systems and combustion engines optimized for alternative fuels.
Koenigsegg generates revenue primarily through the sale of hypercars to an exclusive global clientele. Each vehicle is sold at a premium price, often exceeding several million dollars. With production strictly limited, typically fewer than 100 units per model, the company’s strategy emphasizes quality, innovation, and brand exclusivity over volume. Koenigsegg is also expanding its business through technology licensing and strategic partnerships within the automotive industry.
Koenigsegg has steadily grown since its founding and is now recognized as one of the world’s most respected hypercar manufacturers. In recent years, the company has launched models such as the Jesko, Gemera, and Regera, combining extreme performance with pioneering hybrid solutions. Koenigsegg has increased production capacity, expanded its workforce, and invested in new manufacturing facilities to support its continued growth. As part of this strategy, Chieftain Capital invested €50 million in Koenigsegg in 2024 through a directed share issue. At the same time, Christian von Koenigsegg increased his ownership via his family holding company. The capital is being used to scale production and advance the development of future models.
