# Koenigsegg Says They’re Working On A Sedan, Just Like Bugatti

Christian von Koenigsegg has his sights locked square on Bugatti. If [the Koenigsegg Regera](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/2404/koenigseggs-regera-is-the-worlds-most-endearing-instrument-of-chaos>) he revealed directly across the hall from [the Bugatti Chiron](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/2378/the-2017-bugatti-chiron-might-break-your-brain>) at the Geneva Motor Show isn't proof enough of that, ;[his show floor declaration that his company is considering building a sedan certainly is](<https://www.topgear.com/car-news/geneva-motor-show/koenigsegg-four-door-coming-no-suv>).

"That's very much on the drawing board," von Koenigsegg [*told Top Gear*](<https://www.topgear.com/car-news/geneva-motor-show/koenigsegg-four-door-coming-no-suv>) in regards to the idea of making a four-door 'Egg. "It's a project we've been working on for quite some time. I’d be surprised if that’s the next thing we release—because we’re getting such a good response for our traditional type of supercars—but it’s a car I’d love to do.”

This, of course, comes hot on the heels of [Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer's admission's admission](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/2420/ceo-sets-bugatti-sedan-rumor-mill-spinning-again>) that "I can't get the idea for a four-door limousine out of my head," prompting the Internet to briefly erupt with frantic speculation that the Gallic-*cum*-Germanic luxury brand might resurrect the 16C Galibier. That car moved the Veyron's master-blaster of a motor in front of the passenger compartment; presumably, a Koenigsegg sedan (which we're gonna go ahead and call the Koenigsedan because obviously) would do the same. Although a mid-engined sedan would be *awesome*.

And much like Dürheimer, von Koenigsegg is adamant that his car maker won't stretch out into sport-utility vehicles. The smooth-headed Swede was a bit more verbose about the matter than his Bugatti counterpart, though.

"Technically I don’t see a big issue with it," he told TG. "It’d be a pretty wild SUV because you’d have a big tunnel in the centre, huge sills, bucket seats. I think it could be a thing the market could accept. But I’m just not a fan of SUVs. To me they are fundamentally flawed. Sure we could sell them, but I don’t want to."

So, to recap: Koenigsedan, yes; KoenigSUV, no. We're cool with that.
