Default Extreme Rumor Mill: 4 door Koenigsegg in the works?


*Not real. Dur.

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 photo-chopped 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.

According to swedish car mag "Teknikens Värld" Koenigsegg has confirmed that they have been working on this car for two years.

I really can't picture how they could possibly design a four-door Koenigsegg which works like the original. If they design a whole new car, well, good luck...
