Swedish sports car manufacturer Koenigsegg has teased images of its new, unnamed hypercar on social media this week, causing a wave of excitement throughout the auto enthusiast community.
The teaser images, which were posted on the company's Instagram account, showcase a classic Koenigsegg silhouette consisting of a teardrop-shaped cabin, smooth lines, and a wrap-around windscreen. Elements of the new vehicle, such as its rear light design and front splitter, are reminiscent of the brand's 2006’s CCX model. Meanwhile, its rear diffuser is similar to the more recently released Agera model.
Speculators believe the new vehicle will be a limited-edition anniversary model, considering 2022 has marked a major 20-year milestone for the brand. Moreover, Koenigsegg announced that its New Year's Resolution was to create "more ultimate performance through clever engineering and optimal design." Based on the teaser images, it appears that this yet-to-be-released hypercar will align nicely with the brand's New Year goals.
