The Swedish supercar brand Koenigsegg is sold out for the foreseeable future. Even wealthy customers have to wait for years: The car, limited to 300 units, is completely sold out.

Anyone wanting to order a Koenigsegg today must prepare for a long wait – even with a well-filled bank account.

The luxury brand Koenigsegg has sold all models for years to come. Company CEO Christian von Koenigsegg confirmed that no vehicles are available in the short term. This not only affects the 2,300 hp hybrid four-seater Gemera but also the limited supercars Jesko and CC850. The Swedish car manufacturer produces only in small quantities – a strategy that ensures exclusivity but also results in sold-out model lines.

Extremely Limited – and Extremely Sought After

The reason for this scarcity is the extremely limited production. Only 125 units of the Jesko with up to 1,600 hp were built, and the CC850 was also limited and immediately sold out. Even the comparatively "everyday" Gemera with four seats and V8 hybrid drive is completely sold out. Prices between two and four million euros per car do not deter the affluent clientele – on the contrary, demand significantly exceeds supply.

Exclusivity Instead of Mass Production

Koenigsegg deliberately refrains from expanding production. The strategy: quality, technical innovation, and rarity value. Pure electric vehicles are not a goal for the company. Christian von Koenigsegg explained that despite all the technical advantages, the driving experience with combustion or hybrid is more emotional. "You want the throb, the pump, the heat, the noises," he told Top Gear magazine.

Outlook: New Models Remain a Secret

Future models remain secret – a Jesko successor is in the works, but the company does not provide specific details. Anyone wanting to acquire a new Koenigsegg must be patient – or dig deep into their pockets on the used market.

The Koenigsegg Gemera HV8

The supercar boasts an impressive 2,300 hp (1,691 kW) and achieves a torque of 2,750 Nm. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 400 km/h. It is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 biturbo plus electric motor with all-wheel drive and a 9-speed dual-clutch transmission. The battery has a capacity of 14 kWh, the electric range is around 50 km, and the total range is about 1,000 km. The tank holds 115 liters. The Gemera is a four-seater with two large scissor doors, weighs about 2,030 kg, and offers 200 liters of trunk volume. Production is limited to 300 units, with prices starting at around 2 million euros.
