The car was basically two symmetrical squares with an ovoid sphere in the centre. A very simple and elegant design but a lot of thought was put into it. Especially the double bubble rear roof lining which was created to ensure a low pressure region and downforce would be generated. However this turned out to be very tricky as there was no way to make a glass with such extreme curves at the time. So Crafoord decides to put in a small sectional window with the rear panel of the roof being glass as well also creasing between the two roof bubbles eliminating the clustered feeling and giving some rear visibility.

In 1994, Christian von Koenigsegg goes off in search of a powerplant for his car. He had a look at several different car companies in his research before he finds the right power unit for his car - an Audi® 4.2L V8. He went with Audi® as it seems like a good deal at the time as Christian thought it would be a good base to add more power in the future for the production version. He met with the executives of Audi® at the dealer in Stockholm to strike a deal. After explaining his business plan set by David Crafoord to the executives, they were pleased to hear it and decided to supply one of their engines to Koenigsegg for a test fit in the chassis.
