The 2013 Geneva Motor Show will be a truly special event for Swedish automaker Koenigsegg, who will be introducing the company's 100th car built.
It's been just 11 years since Koenigsegg delivered its first car to a customer, and the Angelholm-based company has a lot of benchmarks to celebrate, including four Guinness World Records, and a one-off model seems to be the perfect choice.
We're not talking about a brand-new car, because it really isn't, but the Agera S-based Koenigsegg Hundra (Swedish for 100) is no ordinary machine. Built for an anonymous collector, the car features carbon fiber bodywork and hand laid (and swirled) 24 carat gold leaf inlays. While this "configuration" may not suite the common petrolhead's taste, the company thinks it creates "an intriguing mix of traditional and hi-tech craftsmanship".
Speaking of high-tech, we don't know anything about the car's performance figures yet, but the Koenigsegg Agera S Hundra is expected to come with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine developing in excess of 1,000 HP.
