Koenigsegg’s next model could be a 700HP super-sedan

If the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide aren't exclusive or fast enough for you, wait until the Geneva Motor Show next spring. A report from Car Middle East claims the mad men over at Koenigsegg are planning a four-door, all carbon fiber, 700 HP super sedan to make those others look like photochopped liver. The report also claims the car is planned to hit the showroom in 2010, and has been under development for two years. But what about the boasts? Well, Koenigsegg’s Dubai manager said the car "will weigh less than any other performance saloon on sale, and will have a top speed of 350 KPH." Cause nothing says "I'm badass" like a 217 MPH afternoon with the family.

It's been a couple of years now, so far no sedan, more's the pity.

Once more a rumor about a planned sedan:

Four-door Koenigsegg model planned, could be launched within five years
911-sized vehicle not in the cards
Koenigsegg is about to build two models in parallel for the first time, but this isn’t the biggest surprise to come from the Swedish manufacturer, as it has emerged it is planning a four-door model for the near future.

Speaking to TopGear at the Geneva Motor Show, the company’s boss Christian von Koenigsegg commented there’s a chance for such a car to be manufactured. “Yes, I can imagine a car like that,” he told the magazine. “Maybe within the next five years, possibly earlier than that”.

On the other hand, von Koenigsegg declined rumors the supercar producer will make a smaller model to compete the Porsche 911, Ferrari 488 GTB and McLaren 650 S. “To me, in the last few years, that sector - the 911, the McLaren, the Ferrari 458 etc. - is a hornet's nest which I want to stay well away from”.
