A dream becomes reality

Since the age of five, Christian von Koenigsegg knew he wanted to create the world's fastest car.

His inspiration came from an unlikely source: a Norwegian movie about a bicycle repairman.

"He built with his friends on a mountaintop this incredible racing machine and competed against the established brands and won," he told the BBC at the New York International Auto Show.

"I remember walking out of the cinema and saying 'That's what I want to do when I grow up'."

And, unlike most of us, who shed dreams of becoming firemen or astronauts pretty soon into our teenage years, Christian von Koenigsegg stayed true to his childhood ambition.
