Abu Dhabi: Sweden's Koenigsegg Automotive, the maker of Koenigsegg "supercar" that has a top speed of over 400 kilometres per hour and costs up to 868,000 euros, has opened a showroom in Abu Dhabi to cater to the high-profile clientele in the UAE.
"We have sold seven cars in the GCC so far and our 45 cars are on the road worldwide," chief executive officer Christian Von Koenigsegg told Gulf News.
"The base version of this custom-built car costs Dh3.4 million in the UAE and insurance is additional," said Koenigsegg, 35, claiming that this is the lightest car in its class.
"It gives lowest kilo per horse power, which in turn, gives superior handling," he said. The horse power of Koenigsegg cars ranges between 806 hp for the base version going up to 1,018 hp for the top-end version.
