This press release discusses the Quant--a four-seat, solar-powered supercar being designed by the Swedish Koenigsegg company. Very quick and very pretty.

There's another press release on there about the 2009 Geneva Auto Salon, at which Koenigsegg will discuss its new Custom Vision program. Says the company, an "increasing" number of Koenigsegg customers wish to make their cars "one off specials." I thought that, since Koenigsegg has made less than forty cars in its 12 years of existence, they were already making them that way.

1. "Koenigsegg" is Swedish for "Oh no! My head's just exploded!"

Some say.

2. Actually, it means something like

"King's Egg".

I belive they make high quality Sweedish steel royal
Ped Eggs.
Neat looking car, though - check the animated clips....

3. In most places it means King's Egg

It also means "three wheelbarrows full of money," which you need before they'll talk to you.
