    Default New Car & Driver article on Koenigsegg, future plans & "the first car arriving in the U.S."

    Now, we all know whose car is in the quotation marks

    Car and Driver Blog » Koenigsegg to Deliver First U.S. Agera in June, Working on Camless Engine

    Looking forward to all the things mentioned.

    As for 2009, I thought it was the first profitable year for Koenigsegg (with a smaller profit generated in 2010 as well)..Am I wrong?

    Did I read a ''100th car milestone model''? Surely looking forward to that, not to mention the camless engine planned for the future..

    Go Koenigsegg, the future is bright!!!

    You're very welcome buddy!!! Glad to share any updates on Koenigsegg as soon as I find out about them.

    Pretty exciting news, if you ask me...Let's see when they can come up with the camless engine, and what the exemption request's result will turn out to be...

    Btw, does anybody know about the current status of the Airbag exemption request? In essence, does it mean that people are currently unable to order the Agera range from the U.S.? I believe no, as BC is confirmed as the first lucky recipient Stateside

    Hope second, third and fourth orders follow soon

    According to NHTSA, Koenigsegg said that it lost $7.7 million between 2006 and 2008, and had projected an additional $3.3 million loss between 2009, when the current exemption expired, and 2011.
    How the heck are these guys staying in business?
