It started as a dream in when Christian Von Koenigsegg, wanted to produce the world's fastest sports car. In 1994 he gathered a team of engineers, that turned his 2 seat mid-engine dream into a reality. Later in 1996 the first prototype was underway and by 1998 the final product was perfected. 2000 brought the finished product on to the market. This car was the CC8S that achieved 0-100km in 3.5 and a top speed of 390km/h, then they released the CCR, which was even quicker.
