Founded in 1993, Koenigsegg is a Swedish manufacturer of high-performance cars. Its creator, Christian von Koenigsegg was only 22 years old when he launched this line of cars into the supercar society. Koenigsegg proved to the world that a small and devoted group of car enthusiasts can rival the older and established supercar brands. The two Koenigsegg cars included in Test Drive Unlimited are seriously superb automobiles: one is the fastest legal street car and the other is the fastest road car in the world. What better way to see the beautiful island of Oahu than at top speeds with the top cars?
