Koenigsegg is world-renowned for its wonderfully expensive hypercars, but in the future, the technologies that it has pioneered could find their way into more humble vehicles.

Christian von Koenigsegg, the company’s founder and mastermind behind its success, told us recently that "within our company there could be room to start utilising all the technological developments we have created, and trickle them down into more normal cars."

But before you start getting excited at the prospect of taking your family to the shops in a barmy Koenigsegg hot hatch, any sensible cars developed by the brand would likely wear a different name: "I think the brand Koenigsegg should stay in this rarified area and make these extreme machines and keep on pushing the limit," however he mentioned that a new sub-brand within the company could be the answer, as could a collaboration with other manufacturers.
