Starting a car company is a task for the brave at heart. Christian von Koenigsegg�s achievement is even more admirable as, after only 10 years, he has managed to shift 100 of the ultra-fast, and ultra-expensive, hypercars that bear his name.
To commemorate the event the Swedish company decided that the 100th production car built, an Agera S destined for a well-off client based in Hong Kong, would be something special and would be unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show.
Enter the Hundra, which is Swedish for �100�, an Agera S with hand laid and swirled 24-carar gold leaf inlays in its carbon bodywork. The latest version of Koenigsegg�s supercar is powered by a turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 that puts out 1016HP and sprints from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.8 seconds.
�A lot has happened in the last 10 years�, said von Koenigsegg, adding that the company does not rest on its laurels: �On the contrary. The Koenigsegg range still stands proud, head to head against the greatest new car onslaught in hypercar history.�
So he�s not afraid that the new wave of rivals, like the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder will upstage his own models?
Actually no, not a bit: �Our team can�t even wait to get their creation of passion measured against all the latest and greatest hypercars currently being launched.�
