How Many Koenigseggs Are There?

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is ‘How Many Koenigseggs Are There?” This article will explain the nuances of the question and give the answer. We’ll do our best to keep the number updated as it evolves!

Koenigsegg was founded in 1994 by Christian von Koenigsegg. In the early days, they didn’t produce many cars, instead focusing on bare-bones prototypes. The first model, CC8S, had just six units built, which were delivered to clients in the early 2000s. In the two decades since, the company has expanded tremendously. Far from the small crew that initially worked at the Ängelholm factory, Koenigsegg now employs over 600 people!

The question of how many Koenigseggs exist can easily be answered by adding up all of the cars in our registry, but we’ll break it down here.

There are six CC8S, one of which no longer exists, after having been transformed into a CCR. Thus, let’s begin our count at five. Then, there are fifteen CCR and the CCGT. This gives us a running total of twenty-one (21). Next, we have all of the CCX’s. This series includes CCX, CCX Edition, CCXR, CCXR Edition, CCXR Special Edition, and CCXR Trevita. This is a total of forty eight cars, which brings our running total to sixty nine (69).

Next, the Agera-series. There are seven Agera, sixteen Agera R, and five Agera S, giving us a total of twenty eight ‘early’ Agera cars. There are then seven One:1 (six customer cars plus a prototype that was later sold). Next, the Agera RS. Though Koenigsegg insists they only built twenty five Agera RS, we know that, in fact, they built twenty seven of them. After the Agera RS, there are three Agera Final series cars: Agera Final One of 1, Agera Final Edition (FE) Thor, and Agera FE Väder. Thus, our overall Agera total is fifty eight (28 + 7 + 27 + 3 = 65), and our running total is now one hundred and thirty four (134).

After the tremendous success of the Agera-series, Koenigsegg experimented with new technology to create the Regera, a luxurious grand tourer with just one gear, a system known as Koenigsegg Direct Drive. Though eighty units were planned, by the time production finished, there were a total of eighty five (85) Regera built. A portion of this slight overproduction can be attributed to the construction of ‘test car’ (TC) prototypes and a crash test car. Let’s add the Regeras to previous total for a new running total of two hundred and nineteen (219).

Next, we have the Jesko. This is where the list begins to get tricky, because the Jesko is still in the early stages of production. At the time of writing, here is how it breaks down. There are five demonstration / show cars own by the factory for marketing purposes: #7251 (Jesko launch car), #7257 (Jesko Absolut Pre-Production), #7258 (Jesko Attack Pre-Production), #7259 (Jesko Absolut launch car), and #7512 (production line pre-runner). In addition to these five, there are four test cars used for development, general testing, crash testing, and emissions testing: #7252, #7253, #7255, and #7256. This adds up to nine Jeskos owned by the factory. Next, there are customer cars. So far, we have seen sixteen Jesko customer cars driving around, either delivered to clients or finishing up pre-delivery testing. This brings our Jesko total to twenty five, and our running total to two hundred and forty four (244).

Next, we have the upcoming models. Though there are three hundred Gemera and seventy CC850 slated to be built, there are currently only three Gemera and one CC850 in existence. This adds four to our total, bringing us to two hundred and forty eight (248).

Finally, we have to consider the prototypes. Given that these cars lack real VINs, or a VIN at all, it is up for debate whether or not they should count. If we count them, there are seven, bringing our total to two hundred and fifty five (255).

So, there’s your answer. Currently, there are 255 Koenigseggs in the world. This number will only increase, and we are seeing new Jeskos leaving the factory gates with increasing frequently. If you want to give an approximate answer, at least for the rest of 2023, you can say there are about 250 Koenigseggs worldwide!
