Prototype-Production
May 1, 1995

1st prototype-production can start

After moving to Olofström, Koenigsegg® employed some skilled locals to help built their first prototype. They had the Sethera Falcon tubular steel chassis to be used for the project along with the Audi® 4.2L V8 in the chassis.

The building which was granted to them was already occupied for the next 18 months by Volvo®. Christian crew decided it wasn’t too bother some that space was occupied, so Koenigsegg and its team rented out a small 400 sqm garage where they’d continue to develop the CC prototype.

Throughout 1995, Koenigsegg® worked on the CC prototype. However, the landlord on which they’d leased the space to build their car wanted to expand the space and give it to Volvo. It made sense to them to give in rather than hold on to the space they had as the landlord had assumed they won’t get anywhere much. And so, Christian von Koenigsegg decides to move to  Margretetorp , nearby Ängelholm which would become the new home of Koenigsegg®.
