These theories are critically analysed and compared with each other and a conceptual framework is developed based on the analysis conducted. For the purpose of the research, we have decided to do our survey on the Swedish super car manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB. This study seeks to identify entrepreneurial characteristics, possible success factors deriving from those company characteristics and to connect the company to its environment. This study is also trying to validate the early researchers and experts thoughts and ideas and thus focused on the practical implications of these theories in today’s successful entrepreneurial companies and has tried to answer the research questions by applying them to our case analysis. We have chosen paradigmatic tools for conducting the survey and documentary research is followed to analyze the company. The finding derives from the important role

Christian v. Koenigsegg Evolution Exceeded Koenigsegg CCX is pure design on four wheels. It exudes class, style, and aggression. And it’s probably the best overall performer ever to come off a production line. It travels from a standing start to 100 km/h in a devastating, adrenaline-draining 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of over 395 km/h. Driving a CCX is about controlling your instincts, sharpening your reflexes, and commanding respect from the head turning crowd as this beautiful beast roars past. CCX stands for Competition Coupe 10. It’s the celebration of 10 years of Koenigsegg supercars that have been without equal since their first Hot tempered at 395 km/h conception back in 1996.

The chassis was designed around a predetermined body shape and suspension setup. A chassis, built from 20mm thick aluminium honeycomb sandwich panel, was designed and built to LVVTA standards allowing the car to be driven on public roads. The chassis weighs a little over a third the mass of a mass production car chassis. The car has been driven over 1800km with only one minor problem, indicating the chassis is reliable and well suited to its purpose.

    "With FloEFD, the configuration of the simulation is made from within the CAD software, which eliminates the need for exporting/importing geometry. The software also has features such as automatic meshing, a case configuration wizard and integrated post processing, all from within the CAD software." Arne Lindgren, Halmstad University, Sweden Image Credit: Koenigsegg Automotive AB 36 mentor.com/mechanical 148 Automotive Sports Car Brake Cooling Simulation with CAD-embedded CFD By Arne Lindgren, Halmstad University, Sweden rake cooling is a crucial area in motorsport and sports car engineering. A recent thesis project by Arne Lindgren Bof Halmstad University in Sweden considered different cooling solutions for the extreme conditions of super cars. The project, conducted for super car manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB, had the objective to design an efficient brake cooling solution for their latest model, the Regera. (Figure 1) Regera, which means "to reign" in Swedish, is the first Koenigsegg car with hybrid- technology, the combined power of its internal combustion engine and its electric motors exceeds 1,500 horsepower. Such a powerful car needs effective and reliable brakes. During a braking event from 300 to 0 km/h, the average brake power is over 1 MW in the Regera. Koenigsegg Automotive AB is a Swedish company founded in 1994 by Christian von Koenigsegg. The first prototype was completed in 1996 and the series production of their CC8S model started in 2002 [2]. The Koenigsegg CCR became the fastest production car in 2005 and the CCX model took the Top Gear lap record in 2006 with a time that wasn’t beaten for over two years.
