Builders Build
We at Koenigsegg Automotive are fortunate
enough to do both and in doing so, we fulfil the
dreams of others.

We stand now at the dawn of a new era for our

company. Recent investments in our factory, and
most importantly, in our people, see the compa-
ny and the wider Koenigsegg family growing like
never before. Everything is bigger at
Koenigsegg than it was a year ago today. We
have seen record sales, record growth in our
workforce and facilities, and for the first time
ever, we now have two vehicles being built in
parallel on our production line.

We thought that building the One:1 was ambitio-

us. The new Koenigsegg Regera raised ambition
to a whole new level and is a car that I could
not be more proud of. The driving experience
is sublime, the power delivery may just redefine
the word ‘smooth’ and whilst few may believe it
is possible, the quality of the work done by our
engineers and our craftsmen has been raised
even higher.

It is my dream to build the absolute best

high-performance sports cars in the world. If you
are reading this magazine, chances are that you
dream of owning one of these amazing crea-
tions yourself some day. I sincerely hope that
both our dreams come true.

A Year of Growth for
Koenigsegg
2016 has been a year of
amazing growth at
Koenigsegg Automotive
AB, with significant
expansion across the
organisation.
In fact, this year may eventually be
seen as one of the most important
years in the history of the company,
right up there with the delivery of
our first customer car in 2002 or
the change from the CCR to our
first global car, the CCX, in 2006.
Why? Let’s take a look back
through everything that happened.
Vehicle Range
While the Regera was first shown
in 2015, 2016 has been the year
during which the car has really
taken its final shape. We began
the year by showing the produc-
tion-spec Regera at the Geneva
Motor Show, a car that incorpo-
rated a multitude of changes,
refinements and improvements
compared to our concept vehic-
le from the year before. 2016 is
also the year we started building
the first customer Regeras at our
production facility in Ängelholm.
For the first time in Koenigsegg’s
history, we have two completely
distinct models being built in paral-
lel at our production facility. That’s
significant.
Adding a new model is a tough
task when you’re an automotive
giant with thousands of employees
and a factory the size of a small
city. When you have less than
150 employees and do all of your
design, development and testing
inside the same four walls, it’s a
task of Herculean proportions.
What makes the Regera an even
bigger achievement is that it’s
such a game-changer in terms of
the technology it uses. To have a
small team building and continually
improving one existing world-class
hypercar is an amazing achieve-
ment. To have that team develop a
second world-class hypercar, one
that throws traditional technology
out the window, is an achievement
on another level completely.
The last few years have seen a
mammoth effort by the whole
Koenigsegg team – our amazing
engineers and prototype team, in
particular. That effort is now begin-
ning to bear fruit in 2016.
Staff
Koenigsegg Automotive AB had
just over 70 staff as at 1 July 2015.
Eighteen months later, that number
8 9
Photo Lisa Johansson
had almost doubled, with 135 on
the payroll in January 2017.
The additions have been spread
throughout the company. We have
gone from having one part-time
designer working directly with
Christian, to a team of four. In pro-
duction, we have added people in
interior fabrication, electronics, and
chassis assembly/preparation. We
have expanded our carbon-fibre
manufacturing capacity, which has
allowed us to bring our tub chas-
sis manufacturing in-house once
again.
Our long-term Sales Directors, both
of whom are based in our Dubai
offices, saw record sales figures in
2016. We have now added a third,
Swedish based Sales Director with
responsibility for continental Euro-
pe and the Nordic Countries.
We now have extra support for
customer visits to our factory in
Sweden, as well as a Communica-
tions Copywriter and an Art
Director, who works on
Koenigsegg branding as well as
paint/striping/interior specification
for customer cars.
 Our engineering group, especially
electrical engineering, software
development and vehicle homolo-
gation, has increased markedly as
our cars become more and more
sophisticated. Our service and af-
tersales department has also been
boosted by new service personnel,
along with additional aftersales ma-
nagement and support personnel.
Getting the best talent to join us
in Ängelholm continues to be a
priority. The expansion in staff has
been necessary, primarily due to
the expansion in the Koenigsegg
vehicle range. Not only do we have
the Regera to cater for, we also
recently started planning a suc-
cessor to the Agera, which will be
retired when the 'Final' models are
completed.
Factory
There have been a number of sig-
nificant changes at the Koenigsegg
facility in Ängelholm in 2016:
Koenigsegg’s service department
moved out of the factory this year,

taking residence in a larger space
close to the main factory building.
Our PDI team has also migrated to
this new building to do final setup
work on our customer vehicles
prior to delivery. The showroom
area inside the factory was made
redundant when a new showroom
was incorporated into our offi-
ce building during renovations
in 2015. The old showroom and
our old service department have
been rebuilt into a large prototype
workshop.
The prototype fabrication team has
been hard at work, refining solu-
tions for series Regera production.
The first handful of customer
Regeras will be built in the proto-
type workshop’s miniature produc-
tion line, before being moved to
the main production line in 2017.
The entire production line is now
going through an optimisation
process to allow for faster vehicle
construction, resulting in increased
output. Our goal is to build 20-25
cars per year when this process
11
is complete, doubling our typical
annual production rate. Various
walkways and work areas have
been either built or re-built to provi-
de for better movement through
the factory.
Our office area, which houses ad-
ministration, sales/marketing sup-
port and engineering, has doubled
in size this year. Koenigsegg took
over the second floor of the admi-
nistration building in September
2016. The additional space provi-
des new offices for our expanding
engineering and electrical teams,
as well as our sister company,
Freevalve.
As you can see, 2016 has been a
very exciting year for Koenigsegg.
It has been a year of record sales,
innovation, investment and expan-
sion, all of which will set the com-
pany up for continued developme-
nt and growth in years to come.
Needless to say, we’re very excited
about 2017 and beyond.

Koenigsegg
Dealer Network
Koenigsegg’s worldwide
network of dealers and
service outlets continues
to grow, with the recent
addition of 4 new outlets
in North America, the
opening of Koenigsegg
Japan and the addition
of a new dealer in
Hong Kong.
These dealers join our existing
representatives in Germany, the
United Kingdom, Norway, Mainland
China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore,
Thailand, Oman, Saudi Arabia and
the United Arab Emirates, making
the worldwide Koenigsegg family
the biggest it has ever been.
Koenigsegg Japan has been
established as a sister company to
Japan’s most respected new and
classic sports car curators, Bingo
Sports. Japanese customers took
delivery of a three-car series from
the Agera RS range in 2016, all of
which were completely bespoke
and badged as Agera RSR. We
look forward to continuing our rela-
tionship with our valued Japanese
clients as they take delivery of their
new Regeras in the future.
Koenigsegg is now represented in
Hong Kong by Kingsway Cars Ltd,
a long-established, family-owned
company. Kingsway has over 40
years experience servicing the
needs of their exclusive clientele
via their Hong Kong showroom and
multiple service outlets located
throughout the territory.
Koenigsegg now has three dealers
in the United States: O’Gara Coach
in Los Angeles, Manhattan Motor-
cars in New York, and Lake Forest
Sports Cars in Chicago. All three
are well established businesses
with deep roots in the luxury and
performance automotive industry.
O’Gara Coach has three outlets
in California and decades of
experience serving the needs of
highline and performance car ent-
husiasts. Tom O’Gara started in the
automotive business in the mid-
1970’s and has done everything
from retail sales to manufacturing
armoured limousines for the Pre-
sident of the United States. Today,
O’Gara Coach continues to be a
leader in luxury and customer ser-
vice. The addition of Koenigsegg to
their stable of marques is the jewel
in what is already a very impressive
crown.
Manhattan Motorcars is located
in the heart of New York City, the
12
city that never sleeps. Manhattan
Motorcars was established in 1995
and is now a marquee dealership
working with numerous high-end
luxury and dedicated sports car
brands. They are leaders in the
world’s fastest paced and most
discerning market, and we are
proud to have them in the
Koenigsegg family.
Lake Forest Sports Cars continues
a nearly 100-year old tradition for
the Mancuso Family in the auto-
motive business. Now owned by
the fourth generation of Mancusos,
Lake Forest Sports Cars has been
a factory authorised dealer for va-
rious high-end performance brands
since 1981. One visit to their facility,
north of Chicago, will show you
why. They have a huge, beautiful
showroom and a service area that’s
cleaner than most people’s homes.
Lake Forest Sports Cars under-
stands speed, too - they have their
own collection of race cars in the
showroom that have been cam-
paigned by the Lake Forest Sports
Cars racing team.
North of the border, in Canada, we
are pleased to have been joined
by Weissach Performance with
their outlets in Vancouver and
Calgary. Weissach started life 37
years ago as an independent Pors-
che dealership and has grown to
sell and service various luxury
performance brands. That they
know their customers so well might
be down to the two decades they
have enjoyed as owners of a suc-
cessful enduring racing team, most
recently winning the world AM
Class trophy in Super Trofeo.
Factory Service Training
The purchase of a Koenigsegg can
mean different things to different
people: a performance driving
lifestyle choice, a reward for hard
work, an exploration of technology
or for some, just pure indulgence.
For all, however, the purchase of a
Koenigsegg is an investment. The
best way to protect that invest-
ment is to have your Koenigsegg
serviced to factory standards using
approved fluids and genuine
Koenigsegg parts.
One of five most commonly asked
questions we get when we attend
motor shows or other events is
“where would I get my Koenigsegg
serviced?”
Historically, the answer to that
question has involved shipping the
car back to the factory or having
one of our service personnel fly
to where the car is located. Those
are still options today, of course,
but the need for those options is
rapidly diminishing thanks to an
expanding service network based
around our dealer family.
Philip Agelmo coordinated the
Koenigsegg Service Technician
training program throughout 2016.
This program trains service techni-
cians from around the world so that
we can provide factory authorised
service in various markets, ma-
king Koenigsegg ownership more
convenient and rewarding for our
13
Photo Zen Balboni
customers. Improved global servi-
ce standards and less time lost to
service transport means a better
experience for all.
The program has been an outstan-
ding success, with technicians from
the USA, England, Hong Kong,
Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and
Canada all visiting Koenigsegg’s
Ängelholm facility in the last 12
months for intensive service
training programs. 2017 will see
another crop of technicians training
with our factory service team with a
group from China already booked
early in the new year.
Making our service standards
global is just one of the ways that
Koenigsegg is constantly working
to the improve our customer expe-
rience and protect the value of our
vehicle fleet.
Regera: Innovation &
Technology

The Koenigsegg Regera is an innovation tour-de-force.

It features an 800-volt electrical system, a Formula 1 grade
battery pack, and a drivetrain that combines electric and
combustion power to provide a massive 1500 horsepower
and 2000+ Nm of torque to the rear wheels via Direct Drive,
a world first for a series production car. Photo Martin Juul

14 15
The mechanical innovations are
only part of the story, however.
The Regera also features a swathe
of innovative parts, new creatu-
re comforts and driver aids that
will make driving with the Regera
a much more pleasurable and
rewarding experience. The equip-
ment list includes features our
customers have come to expect
(and one or two that they haven't)
- electric, heated memory seats,
removable and stowable roof, and
a touchscreen interface. There
is even a carbon fibre umbrella
stowed on board.
Following are some of the more
extreme innovations that enhance
performance and comfort, there-
by improving the whole Regera
experience.
AirCore Carbon Fibre Wheels
Koenigsegg designed a new
carbon fibre wheel especially for
the Regera. Carbon wheels are
not new to our cars. It has been
5 years since we debuted our
AirCore carbon wheel technology
and Koenigsegg is still the only
OEM to make their own carbon
fibre wheels.
Our carbon fibre wheels have a
hollow core, which is unique in the
industry and a critical factor in how
the wheels perform. The hollow
core makes the wheel extremely
light, providing a weight saving of
up to 40% compared to conventio-
nal, high performance alloy wheels.
Why is this important? First of all,
wheels represent ‘unsprung mass’,
the weight that you can’t control
with your suspension system. The
best performance comes from
minimising your unsprung mass, al-
lowing a higher percentage of your
car’s total weight to be managed
by the suspension system.
Secondly, as a rule of thumb, 1
gram saved in unsprung rotational
mass, especially on the outer edge
of a wheel, has the equivalent
performance value of 3 grams
saved in sprung mass. This is due
to reductions in the gyroscopic
and flywheel effects encountered
with rotating unsprung mass. The
end result - lighter wheels allow
for quicker acceleration and more
precise lateral movement, making
the car perform better off the line,
and in the corners.
Koenigsegg’s new, optional,
AirCore wheels for the Regera
have no metal parts aside from
the air valve stem and feature a
3-spoke design comprised of 750
individual carbon fibre pieces. The
wheels are hand-made by expert
technicians at our factory in
Ängelholm, Sweden.
Autoskin
The Koenigsegg Regera comes
equipped with a new, remote-ope-
ning aperture system called
Autoskin.
Hydraulic lines are already installed
in the Regera for use with the sus-
pension system. Koenigsegg has
re-purposed these lines to provide
additional functionality and a touch
of extra luxury.
The doors and hoods on the
Regera can now be opened or clo-
sed at the touch of a button, either
via the command centre inside the
car, on the remote control, or via
the Koenigsegg mobile app.

All openings have soft-close Cargo Space for Pop-up Camera
mechanisms to ensure a smooth, Luggage & Roof
completely sealed closure.
There are individual buttons for
both the left and right doors, and
the front and rear hoods. There is Bird’s-Eye View
also a button called “Show Mode” Parking Assistance
that operates all four openings
at the same time, making Auto-
skin both a convenience and a
crowd-pleasing showpiece.

Fishtail Exhaust
The Regera has a custom desig-
ned and tuned titanium exhaust
system developed in conjunction
with our exhaust specialists and
partners at Akrapovič. This is a uni-
que exhaust system that includes a
fishtail outlet, designed by Christian
von Koenigsegg, a design element
that has not been seen on produc-
tion cars for at least half a century.
Many who see the Regera for the
first time cannot recognise the ex-
haust outlets at all, but are amazed
when they finally see them, integra-
ted as they are into the aerodyna-
mic rear diffuser of the car.
The exhaust system is super light
- it can be held in the air by one
finger - and extremely efficient,
working with our twin-turbo-
charged V8 engine to make the
Regera perform and sound like the
world-beating megacar that it is.
18
Top-mounted Rear Wing
Koenigsegg debuted the world’s
first top-mounted rear wing on the
One:1 in 2014. The Regera takes
this advance in aerodynamics one
step further - it is the world’s first
top-mounted and active rear wing
that’s capable of also retracting
into the bodywork, hiding itself
when not in use.
When deployed, the rear wing
provides variable downforce based
on the speed of the car and the
needs of the driver. When not in
use, the wing retracts into the body
of the car, providing an elegant
profile and reducing drag at crui-
sing speed. The mechanism that
controls the rear wing is extremely
light in weight as it is made com-
pletely from carbon fibre, and is
almost hypnotic in operation.
On most cars, the rear wing is
supported on the underside
of the wing by pillars running
between the body of the car and
the wing itself. So why do we use
a top-mounted rear wing on the
Regera?
Aerodynamic testing shows us
that while underside mounting
is an adequate solution in most
instances, it is also somewhat of a
compromise because the under-
19
side of the wing is the area that
provides the most downforce.
Disturbances to this surface should
be minimized wherever possible. A
top-mounted rear wing such as that
fitted as standard equipment on
the One:1 and Regera provides an
undisturbed underside surface for
maximum downforce.

Apple CarPlay
Apple refer to CarPlay as ‘the ultimate co-pi-
lot’ and for good reason. CarPlay places the
most used functions of your phone onto the
Regera’s display screen, allowing seamless
use of your phone for calls, messages,
maps and music while you’re driving. The
CarPlay system is integrated into the
Regera’s beautiful touchscreen interface so
it’s clear to see and simple to use.

Apple CarPlay lets you send and receive

text messages. It’ll even read your messa-
ges to you and take your dictation thanks
to Siri voice recognition. Your music library
is only a touch away and thanks to the ex-
pandable nature of Apple’s app ecosystem,
your favourite podcasts and audiobooks are
also there for your listening pleasure.

Apple Maps will serve your navigation

needs including route calculation, and
points of interest. It’ll even discover addres-
ses from your address book and offer those
as suggested destinations, when appropri-
ate.

Apple CarPlay brings Apple’s iOS archi-

tecture, renowned for its simplicity and ease
of use, into your car for the ultimate infotain-
ment experience.

Induction Charging
The Koenigsegg Regera offers occupants
inductive charging for two mobile phones,
with charging space located inside the glo-
ve compartment on the passenger side of
the vehicle. Inductive charging is a relatively
new technology, using electromagnetism to
charge your phone simply by placing it on
the inductive surface.

Gone are the days of cords getting tangled

around your legs or other parts of the car. In
fact, you won’t have to remember to carry
phone cables with you at all. With induction
phone charging and Apple CarPlay, using
your phone in the Regera is a completely
wireless experience.

Koenigsegg
Direct Drive
A Koenigsegg car
is designed around
the notion of being
the absolute best
performance car it
can possibly be.
This is the philosophy we
employed when we designed
the new Regera, and the
Koenigsegg Direct Drive system
is a key component.
Why did we develop
Koenigsegg Direct Drive?
While vehicles tend to get more
complex as technology advan-
ces, we find that old rules still
apply – the simplest solutions
are often the best. Our dilemma
was… “Batteries are heavy. How
do we build the world’s best
battery-assist sports car without
increasing weight?”
The answer is simple – Don’t.
Don’t increase the weight.
How you get there is a little
more difficult but even then, the
answer is not as complex as
people think: Remove the parts
you no longer need.
22 23
Mechanical parts = weight.
If you don’t need those mecha-
nical parts, you’re just slowing
yourself down.
The Koenigsegg Direct Drive
system is our answer to that
dilemma. The Koenigsegg
Direct Drive system removes
the traditional gearbox from the
car. The gearbox is responsible
for both added weight and
efficiency losses so any chance
to remove this double-negative
is welcome.
The Koenigsegg Direct Drive
system (KDD) was invented by
Christian von Koenigsegg and
developed for the Regera by
the Koenigsegg Advanced
Engineering team.
The patent-pending KDD repla-
ces the combustion engine’s
traditional transmission – the
gearbox as you know it is remo-
ved from the car. In its place, the
KDD provides direct drive to the
rear axle from the combustion
engine without the need for a
multitude of gears or a variable
transmission, all of which have
inherently high energy losses.
 Photo Martin Juul

24 25
The key components of the KDD
system are:
• 3 electric motors
• HydraCoup – an advanced
lock-up torque converter, de-
signed and developed in-hou-
se at Koenigsegg specifically
for the Regera
• Our Formula 1 grade, su-
per-dense and super-compact
battery pack.
Koenigsegg’s three axial flux
electric motors are optimized
in-house and are extremely power
dense, making them a key-ingre-
dient for the KDD. The Regera has
three of these electric motors –
one for each rear wheel to provi-
de electric drive, and one on the
crankshaft that provides torque-fill,
electrical generation and starter
motor functionality.
Aside from providing extreme
responsiveness from zero rpm,
these electric motors also allow

for torque vectoring, regenerative
braking and energy conversion.
HydraCoup is a bespoke hydraulic
coupling that we have develo-
ped in-house, specifically for the
Regera. The decision to develop
HydraCoup in-house was one of
necessity as the torque conver-
sion requirements of the Regera
exceeded all norms. HydraCoup is
basically a very advanced torque
converter with a lock-up functiona-
lity; the all-important linchpin that
allows smooth and progressive
power transfer from the combus-
tion engine to the single-speed
driveline.
The battery pack is key to the
Regera’s ability to deliver rapid
acceleration. It is essentially For-
mula 1 grade technology deve-
loped together with EV supercar
manufacturer Rimac, using A123
Motorsport cells. It weighs just 64

Regera is the first production car in
the world with an 800V propulsion
system, beating our competitors by
several years.
How Does Koenigsegg Direct
Drive Work?
The Regera has a final drive ratio
of 2.73:1, the equivalent to 7th gear
in the Koenigsegg Agera. If you’ve
ever tried to take off in 7th gear
in your own car, then you’ll under-
stand the challenges we faced
when developing Koenigsegg
Direct Drive. There is simply not
enough torque available in a regu-
lar car to start in such a high gear.
The Regera has two types of
propulsion working together to
move the car: electric propulsion
and the internal combustion engine
(ICE). The Regera’s ICE has 1,100hp
and 1,250Nm of torque, but peak
torque is not available at 0rpm.
Starting from standstill is therefore smoothly from standstill. The ICE is power alone at 150 km/h and floor

in 6 Modules portantly, we can draw that power
for a relatively long period of time.
Just how advanced is the Regera’s
battery cell technology?
If we compare it to recently relea-
World's First 800V sed hybrid hypercars, we see:
Power System in a
Series Production Car • The Regera battery weighs half
as much as one of our compe-
titors, yet produces more than
double the power and at 7.95
kW per kilogram, has 4.5 times
the power density.
• The Regera battery is 10%
heavier than another compe-
titor, yet out-powers the same
competitor by 417%.
• The Regera battery has similar
capacity to yet another com-
28 29
petitor at 4.5kWh (4.7kWh for
the competitor), yet it produces
nearly 4 times the output and
has more than 5 times the
power density.
The highest electrical output of any
of these hypercars in normal dri-
ving is 309hp. The Regera produ-
ces 670 electric hp, which is closer
to the output of the market-leading
pure electric vehicle, a car that has
a battery pack weighing around
670kgs. The Regera battery pack,
by contrast, weighs just 64kg dry,
or 66kg with cooling fluids.
Yes. Just 66kg.
Comparing the Regera’s battery
weight and output to its fellow
hybrid hypercars, we see:
• Car 1 - 217% power from 47% of
the weight.
• Car 2 - 417% power from 110%
of the weight.
• Car 3 - 382% power from 67%
of the weight.
How did we achieve such impres-
sive results? Some of it is down to
our battery chemistry and some of
it is down to the electrical system
we’ve designed around the battery.
The ultimate goal when we desig-
ned this technology was to have a
battery system capable of di-
scharging a LOT of power at once
and recharging at a rapid rate.
Something you have to be mindful
of when designing such a system
is heat management, because the
high energy flows you typically
need to transfer this power into
electric drive cause heat, which
results in energy and efficiency
losses.
To handle these cooling require-
ments, the Regera has the world’s
first fully flooded production
battery. The cells in the battery are
cooled directly by liquid instead
of indirectly by liquid in a pipe or
hose around the cells. This techno-
logy allows for drastically improved
heat transfer between the cells
and the cooling liquid, as there is
direct contact with between the
liquid and the heat source and no
insulation in-between in the form
of the pipe or hose. Also, the con-
tact area is drastically increased
between the liquid and the cells,
as the liquid encloses all of the
cells instead of just being piped
past a localised area.
One of the keys to achieving our
high-output goal while still ba-
lancing heat management is our
800V electrical system, which, as
mentioned earlier, is the world’s
first 800V system in a passenger
car.
The formula for power delivered is:
P (watts) = I (amps) x U (voltage)
Higher amperage means higher
heat, so the key to balancing this
formula is to raise the voltage of
the system, thus allowing yourself
to run at lower amperage. The
Regera runs an 800V system at
660 amps. That flow rate is critical.
It’s what allows the Regera’s
electrical system to deliver so
much power for so long, and still
have good heat management.
The Regera is able to draw its
full 670 electric horsepower from
very low speeds. What is unique
in the automotive world, however,
is that it is able to discharge so
much power (with an immediate
900Nm of torque) for a full 10 se-
conds. The world’s market-leading
pure electric car can also draw
on a ludicrous amount of electric
power, but only for two seconds
from take-off. After two seconds, it
reverts to its nominal output. After
two seconds of maximum power
from the Regera, it still has another
eight seconds of ludicrous electric
goodness to go (and we com-
plement that with 1100 gasoline
powered horses, but that’s another
matter).
Absorb those numbers
and you get an idea as
to why we are so excited
about the Regera.
What does all this mean in terms of
vehicle performance?
The prolonged peak battery boost
is what helps the electric drive,
working with the combustion
engine, to propel the Regera from
zero to 300 km/h in a hair over 10
seconds. That’s faster than a One:1
(11.92 seconds) and a LOT faster
than any of our competitors. The
fastest of the ’Holy Trinity’ of batte-
ry-assisted hypercars, for example,
takes a full five seconds longer to
get to the 300km/h mark.
It’s not just the battery’s ability
to draw immense power that is
impressive, however. There’s little
30
point to having 10 seconds of
blistering electrical assistance if
you’ve got to wait an hour before
the car recharges so you can do it
again. That is why our battery has
been designed to discharge and
recharge at an amazing rate, so it
does not become a limiting factor
for road or even track use.
The batteries are capable of
accepting a massive 200kW
of recharge at any one time, if
necessary, but the whole system
is constantly striving for balance
between power and efficiency so
the recharge rate can vary in order
to manage heat and keep the
Regera’s battery at peak charge
efficiency at all times.
The Regera is a groundbreaking
car in many ways, not the least of
which is the amazing battery tech-
nology developed specifically for
this car. Its combination of extreme
light weight, high output and high
discharge/recharge set it apart
from anything else in production
today and will place the Regera
at the pinnacle of the automotive
landscape for years to come.

 Naraya - a Showcase
of Bespoke Design
Every Koenigsegg is unique.
And nearly every Koenigsegg has a feature,
however large or small, that is bespoke in nature
and a personal reflection of its owner.

Whether it be as subtle as mono- every other Koenigsegg before it by

grammed seats or as visible as a
unique, custom-mixed colour, we
strive to make sure that every
Koenigsegg we build is finished
exactly as its owner wants it to be.
The Koenigsegg Agera RS ’Naraya’,
delivered in 2016, is a prime ex-
ample of this ethos. Chassis #7127 is
a craftsman’s showcase, highlighting
the exquisite work done by both our
own people at Koenigsegg, as well
as our partner suppliers.
The bespoke touch begins at the
‘spec’ stage, when the owner deci-
des his or her vehicle specifications
including options, paint and interior
trim finishes. Customers work with
their Dealer and Sales Director and
Koenigsegg’s own Art Director, Lisa
Johansson, to come up with the
perfect specification to suit their
tastes. Once the specification has
been agreed and signed off, work
can begin.
Core Difference
Photo Lisa Johansson ‘Naraya’ differentiates itself from
being the first ever Koenigsegg to
have a chassis tub finished in tinted
carbon, the same colour as the
body of the car.
Customary practice is for the chassis
to be finished in a polished natu-
ral carbon finish. In this instance,
the tub has been painted in the
same blue-tinted clear lacquer as
the outside of the car. Many other
parts of the car received the same
treatment, being tinted in blue
where they would normally have a
natural carbon finish - the steering
wheel, centre console and even
under-hood items in the engine bay
such as the air cleaner housing and
Triplex suspension cover. The end
result is a subtle, same-but-different
effect that you'll notice on 'Naraya'
nearly everywhere that you look.
Precious Metal
Many readers will be familiar with
an Agera S, known as the ‘Hundra’.
This vehicle, chassis #7100, marked
the one-hundred vehicle milestone
for Koenigsegg in 2013.

 The ‘Hundra’ was Koenigsegg’s first
foray into working with gold leaf on an
exterior finish and the same craftsman
who worked on that car returned to
Ängelholm to wield his expertise on
‘Naraya’.

Ettore “Blaster” Callegaro is

a master craftsman from Italy
who is best known throug-
hout Europe and the United
States for his hand-painted
pinstriping applied to custom
cars and motorcycles.
He is also a master at working with 24K
gold leaf. His work on ‘Naraya’ was the
second time he has applied his touch to
a Koenigsegg car. He has since returned
for a third time, applying more gold leaf
to chassis #7131 ‘Gryphon’, shown at the
Geneva Motor Show in 2017.

Ettore spent two weeks at the

Koenigsegg factory working on ‘Naraya’.
Parts that were to be covered in the pre-
cious metal receive an adhesive before
the gold leaf is brushed from its backing
sheet onto the surface.

Close inspection of the completed leaf

work shows a turned finish, which is
applied by hand. Ettore uses a tool the
size of a champagne cork, with fabric
on one end. He presses the tool against
the leaf and then turns it to scar the gold
and create the turned effect.

‘Naraya’ is notable not just for the gold

leaf itself, but also for the sheer number
of parts that received this treatment. The
car’s stripes are perhaps the most no-
ticeable gold element, but look closely
and you will see myriad parts covered in
gold - from headlamp rings to door pulls,
heater vents to hood struts.

Ettore’s touch is visible everywhe-
re, lending a distinct touch to the
car - exactly as the customer had
planned.
The gold leaf was applied before
the final coats of clear lacquer
were painted on the car, with those
clear-coats ensuring that the leaf
work is both protected and perfect-
ly preserved for the lifetime of the
car.
What's in a Name?
It is not uncommon for Koenigsegg
customers to name their car.
What is uncommon,
however, is for that name
to be enshrined using
155 diamonds to create a
custom nameplate.
The diamonds are a wonder in
themselves, being man-made
but completely identical to mined
diamonds in every way - chemi-
cal composition, crystal structure,

optical and structural properties.
The diamonds used are yellow di-
amonds, manufactured by leaving
traces of nitrogen in the carbon
compound, which produces the
yellow optics. This work, as well as
the production of the gold lette-
ring used, was performed by Ada
Diamonds, from California. The
final result is a nameplate worthy of
the Koenigsegg Agera RS that it is
affixed to.
‘Naraya’ is a masterclass in detail,
a testament to its owner’s dedica-
tion to create the Agera RS that
represents not only his passion for
driving, but also his own personal
taste.
A Final Touch
Koenigsegg staff worked with the
company’s clothing suppliers to
have a custom zippered hoodie
top designed in the same shade of
blue as ‘Naraya’, with a gold zipper
and gold stitching. Perfect for those
cool morning runs through the
mountains!

Öresund
Owners’ Tour
July 2016 saw
Koenigsegg host the
first of what we hope
will be many owners’
gatherings around the
world. This was a truly
significant event, with
just over ten percent
of Koenigsegg’s total
lifetime production
present.
Our guests began the event
outside the beautiful Hotel
d’Angleterre in downtown
Copenhagen, where the cars
were displayed in front of a
gathering crowd. Every point of
the journey – even the under-
ground parking garage – pro-
ved to be a much appreciated
photo opportunity for both the
owners and Scandinavia’s dedi-
cated car-spotting community.
Guests stayed in Copenhagen
overnight and then travelled
through the city and over the
spectacular Öresund bridge into
Sweden. After clearing passport
control with only minor delays -
everyone likes Koenigsegg cars,
including passport officers - we
enjoyed a spectacular country
drive through Skåne to the
Koenigsegg factory in
Ängelholm, where lunch was
served right in the middle of the
Koenigsegg production line.
Damp weather failed to dampen
the spirits for after-lunch activi-
ties, with the Koenigsegg test
track coming to life with fifteen
Koenigseggs roaring at the
same time – an unprecedented
scene that brought smiles to the
faces of all concerned.
The weather cleared just as
guests took another back-road
route to Båstad, Skåne’s biggest
summer party town and the
home of Swedish Open tennis.
Båstad locals are accustomed to
seeing some spectacular sights
in the summer, but even they
were unprepared for fifteen
Koenigseggs driving through
town. It was an amazing slow
crawl through a beautiful town
in full summer swell, before
heading on to the Torekov Hotel
and Spa for the evening.

 Sunday morning saw the fleet
move on to the ferry terminal in
Helsingborg and a quick crossing
to Helsingør on the Danish side.
Back in Denmark, drivers took the
coast road to the beautiful
Kokkedal Castle estate. After
a special Koenigsegg photo in
front of the manor house, guests
enjoyed a thrilling exhibition polo
Photo Lisa Johansson tournament, played by some of
56
Denmark’s best players. Horses
meet horsepower!
Guests stayed at Kokkedal Castle
that night but modesty prevents
us from commenting on who had
the best karaoke singing voice,
nor who worked hardest cutting up
the dance floor the night before at
dinner in Båstad.

Needless to say, a brilliant time
was had by all. Sixteen

Driving Days
in California
Koenigsegg Automotive only
does two events per year as a
company. One of them is the
Geneva Motor Show. The other
is Monterey Car Week.
Koenigsegg cars appear at other events
such as Goodwood, Salon Privé, and the
New York Auto Show, but those events are
generally organised by our local dealers in
the area, with Koenigsegg providing vehic-
les and other support.

Geneva is crucial for us as both an industry

event and as a public/customer event. It’s a
chance to get our industry news to the world
during the biggest show on the automotive
calendar.

Monterey Car Week is crucial to us as a

customer outreach activity. It’s a chance for
us to connect with our customers in a com-
fortable setting, in a truly beautiful part of the
world. We get to know them and their family
through tours and test drives of our vehicles,
over meals together and via conversations
that can last for hours.

Monterey always proves to be a very sa-

tisfying week for our team. We meet a LOT
of people and, hopefully, we get to add a
few new members to the Koenigsegg family
when all is said and done.

 Koenigsegg is re-entering the US
market with both the Agera and
Regera models and there is a ge-
nuine appetite amongst car fans to
see the cars first hand, and to learn
about the amazing performance and
value that Koenigsegg cars offer.

It was certainly interesting to see a

greater awareness about
Koenigsegg at Monterey. Last year,
we were doing basic introductions
as to who we are and what our cars
could do. This year, thanks to online
film such as Apex, and Jay Leno’s
Garage, as well as our own promo-
tional activities, we noticed a much
greater awareness of the brand
among visitors to the Koenigsegg
stand.

McCall’s Motorworks Revival

McCall’s Motorworks Revival takes
place at the Monterey Jet Center
and places the best in automotive
with the best in personal aviation.
The event starts at 5pm and it’s
quite spectacular to watch the skies
darken and the displays light up.

Not only did we have the Agera XS

and Regera looking amazing on the
Koenigsegg stand, we also had the
support of two of our customers who
brought their CCX and Agera R to
the event for display.

Patrons at the event are free to

inspect all vehicles up close and
personal – both cars and jets. There
were many who asked about the
price of the Regera and commented
about the decisions they’d have to
make between it and the similarly
priced Cirrus Aviation personal jet
on display. Decisions, decisions...

There was plenty of food, drink and

entertainment on hand, and combi-
ned with the truly exquisite machine-
ry on display, McCall’s makes for a
splendid way to spend an evening.

The Quail – a Motorsport
Gathering
‘The Quail’ is a display held on the
manicured grounds of The Quail Lod-
ge and Golf Club, located in Carmel.
The Quail is a much bigger show
than McCall’s but attracts a similar
crowd of car enthusiasts and glit-
terati. The Koenigsegg stand was
busy all day with people wanting to
look over both the Agera XS and the
Regera.
There was plenty of admiration for
the Agera XS, the first Agera RS be-
ing homologated for US roads, which
was seen for the first time on home
soil in the United States. Both fans
and potential owners were in awe of
the finish and the attention to detail
that went into building this car, with
plenty of comments about the
Karosserie Orange paint finish,
the clear carbon feature down the
middle of the car, and the customised
front and rear aerodynamics.
With the Agera RS already sold
out, however, there was also a lot
of attention paid to the only model
we had for sale – the Koenigsegg
Regera.
We had hundreds of conversations
through the day about both cars,
including quite a few encouraging
expressions of interest from owners
of some revered modern hypercars.
The expressions on their faces when
we took them through the perfor-
mance capabilities of our cars were
priceless.
Christian and Halldora von
Koenigsegg were both on hand
as part of the Koenigsegg team at
Monterey and as usual, Christian was
indefatigable, talking with people and
posing for photos all day.
Kris Singh, the owner of the
Agera XS, was on hand to see his car
for the first time in daylight and it’s
fair to say that he was pleased. Very
pleased, in fact.
Kris was intimately
involved in every step
of this car’s specification
and development. It’s
very much a reflection of
his personality and you
couldn’t have wiped
the smile off his face if
you’d tried.
If you can pull one highlight from
an event like The Quail, it’s typically
what happens at the end of the day.
There’s a lot of excitement during
the day as people discover our cars
for themselves, often for the first
time. The really palpable excitement
comes later, when we move the cars
off the stand and get them ready for
transport.
The carspotters who are fortunate
enough to attend The Quail gather
and wait for the cars to be started
and driven off the stands. They follow
every move, often moving together
as a pack to capture the best shots
for Instagram and Twitter – shots that
are posted just minutes later, in some
cases. It’s an exciting way to close
out the day.
The Koenigsegg team were proud
to attend Monterey in 2016. We had
a great time meeting everyone and
we could feel the enthusiasm and
support shown for what we do back
in Ängelholm. The excitement that
everyone brought to our stand was
palpable and we thank the all, from
the bottom of our Swedish hearts.
Here’s to another great Monterey Car
Week in 2017!

 Certified
Legends
Choosing a Koenigsegg is a statement that
only the absolute best in quality and
performance will do. Like us, you choose
to pursue automotive perfection.
Every new Koenigsegg we build comes to its owner facto-
ry-fresh and equipped with the latest technology we can
build into it. It is a performance car without peer and will
give its owner years of performance driving at the highest
possible level.

Time moves on, however, and sometimes people within our

owner family choose to replace their Koenigsegg with a
new one. Sometimes this involves a trade with their pre-
vious Koenigsegg as part of the deal. This is the likely path
from which a pre-loved Koenigsegg becomes a Certified
Legend.

Certified Legends are pre-owned Koenigseggs that have

returned to our factory in Ängelholm and been thoroughly
refreshed. Every element of the car is inspected, serviced or
where required, replaced with original Koenigsegg parts.

We also take the opportunity to upgrade and update the car,

where possible, to the most recent available specification.
This may mean a new interior, new paint, or upgrades to
new mechanical parts: suspension, brakes and/or engine
management systems. Essentially, the car is made factory
fresh once again, ensuring that it looks, feels and drives its
absolute best.

Choosing a Koenigsegg Certified Legend is the best way

to protect your investment in pure performance. Certified
Legends represent the best of our brand’s history and all
Certified Legends are sold with a two-year factory warranty.
