It all began in late 1999 when Christian von Koenigsegg set out to build his first supercar. The goal was to surpass the standards set by the McLaren F1 only a couple of years prior. The Swedish supercar builder itself was founded in 1994, but it took a few years to actually produce a prototype. It wasn't until 2002 when the first production-spec Koenigsegg was delivered. But let's look back at the CC prototype itself, revealed in 1996.
A few images of it have once again popped up online and we wanted to share them with everyone. Did anyone think that, back in '96, Koenigsegg would become the world-class hypercar builder and technology hub it is today? Photos courtesy of "Foebane3" via Imgur.
