Christian von Koenigsegg is the name of a certain guy from Stockholm, Sweden, who refused to let go of his dream; to build the best sports car in Universe.
Once upon a time, this bold entrepreneur was ridiculed for making claims like disposing of a concept that could rival Ferrari and Lamborghini.
I wish him good luck, not only as a fellow countryman, but also as someone who refuses to believe the true spirit of entrepreneurship is a thing of the past.

Great news. I also see that Volvo is now a part owner since they own some shares of Koenigsegg.

I wonder if this new owner can confidently say their vehicles will get over 35 mpg??? I doubt it.
