Koenigsegg's Geneva Motorshow

16 minutes of pants exciting glory, and two new cars announced.

The sheer numbers and technology in these cars is astounding. That said I don't think the Gemera looks all too comfortable for 4 adults.

Very, very sexy cars. I swear Koenigsegg has upped their game. Was never a fan of them before. Absolutely love the Regera and the Jesko.

I just love how passionate Christian Von Koenigsegg is about his cars. He speaks about them almost like they are his loved ones or kids.

There's a lovely writeup on their site about Jesko (his father): https://www.koenigsegg.com/jesko-von-koenigsegg/

Even how they honor the Ghost Squadron with a ghost badge on every single car.

No other car company I'm aware of is like that.

Can't wait to hear what the 3 cylinder in the Gemera sounds like either.
