ferrari e koenigsegg

si, si, lo so, quella macchina è mostruosa, però con quel prezzo entri nell'area bugatti veyron che è ancora meglio (oltre 400 kmh)

As we reported last week, Koenigsegg has been interested in Saab for some time. We suspect the reason is to have a mass production facility to build its upcoming electric car under the Saab umbrella, giving the company access to the worldwide market in the near future.

According to reports on Swedish television, Koenigsegg alongside Norwegian investors have recently signed a letter of intent to take over Saab. GM had already given up on Saab in February of this year when it put the Swedish brand into the equivalent of bankruptcy and cut ties that go back two decades.

Currently GM is undergoing a massive restructuring process which means shedding Saab, Hummer and Saturn. The old GM also gave up trying to sell its medium-duty truck business this week and announced its termination.

According to the Financial Times the successful buyer has an interesting contract to deal with. As part of the deal GM will provide US$500 million in assets and cash, plus production equipment for a new Saab model. GM will also leave the US$150 million of cash already in Saab’s account as is.

Koenigsegg will have to put in a similar amount of money (although reports say it could be less) and if it’s successful in turning Saab around it will pay GM back the US$500+150 million.

The electric car Koenigsegg is expected to release next year is called the Quant. A project between Koenigsegg and NLV Solar AG. The car is claimed to manage 500 kilometres on a 20 minute charge, if Koenigsegg can bring even half of that promise to the market with a new Saab model, we will see a lot more Saabs on the road in the near future!

Secondo una fonte vicina ai negoziati, General Motors starebbe per cedere Saab alla Koenigsegg, azienda svedese specializzata nella realizzazione di vetture sportive esclusive. Anche se l'accordo non è ancora definitivo, sembra manchino solo pochi dettagli burocratici.

A differenza, però, di altri governi, quello svedese non ha intenzione di concedere prestiti né di garantire iniezioni di capitale, preferendo attendere che la vendita sia conclusa. "Abbiamo sempre detto che, nel momento in cui ci sarà un nuovo proprietario di Saab, l'ufficio debiti verrà incaricato di negoziare su eventuali garanzie di prestito", ha detto Joeran Haegglund, segretario del ministero dell'Industria del Governo svedese.

La Koenigsegg produce solamente vetture supersportive. Il suo fondatore, Christian von Koenigsegg, la creò nel 1993 (ad Ängelholm in Svezia) spinto da un sogno: costruire l'auto sportiva perfetta. La produzione cominciò nel 2000 quando, con l'aiuto di Saab e Volvo, vide la luce la CC8S (ora fuori produzione), un bolide spinto da un motore 4.7 litri biturbo da 665 CV a 6.800 giri. Nel 2004 fu la volta della CCR, la cui potenza fu portata a 806 CV, per una velocità massima di 395 km/h. Le ultime evoluzioni della gamma Koenigsegg sono la CCX (2006, nella foto) e la CCXR (presentata al Salone Top Marques nel 2007).

Koenigsegg co-owner sure of saving Saab
June 14, 2009 - 6:14AM
.
Koenigsegg, the Swedish luxury sports carmaker set to buy Saab Automobile from General Motors, is confident it can secure the company's future, Koenigsegg's co-owner was quoted as saying on Saturday.
GM, now in bankruptcy protection in the United States, put Saab up for sale in February as it bids to slim down its range of brands and become profitable again.
A Swedish TV report on Thursday said Koenigsegg and a group of Norwegian investors had signed a letter of intent to buy Saab.
Baard Eker, whose holding company Eker Group holds a 49 per cent stake in Koenigsegg, confirmed his interest in the Swedish automaker in an interview with Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet.
"We think it is possible and we have several good solutions to bring with us into Saab," Eker said.
Commentators in Sweden have questioned whether Koenigsegg, which produces just 18 high-end sports car a year and employs only 45 people, would have the financial muscle or industrial know-how to run Saab.
Founded in 1994 by Swedish businessman Christian von Koenigsegg, the company posted a turnover of 106 million kroner ($A15.88 million) in 2008.
Eker told Dagbladet that there were "several investors" backing the bid.
"But I don't want to comment on the amount of money and who is involved," he said. "I want to make one thing clear. We are not buying Saab just to chop it up. That's not what we do."
The Eker Group was unavailable for comment and Saab spokesman Joe Oliver refused to comment.
GM also kept mum. "We're not making any comment at this time. We continue to work towards a resolution for the sale of Saab," said GM Europe spokesman Chris Preuss.
Saab sold 93,000 cars worldwide in 2008, according to its website.
It owes 9.7 billion kronor ($A1.59 billion) to GM - its largest individual creditor - as well as 347 million kronor to the Swedish government. Other creditors are owed 647 million kronor.
The automaker employs about 3,400 people in Sweden. Including suppliers, some 15,000 jobs in the country are believed to be at risk if the company were to disappear.

Koenigsegg sarebbe intenzionata a rinunciare all’acquisto di Saab da General Motors. Il costruttore svedese di supercar attende assicurazioni sui prestiti che dovrà erogare la Banca Europea per gli Investimenti (BEI), condizione necessaria per proseguire con l’operazione. Altrimenti non se ne farà nulla.

La dichiarazione è di Bard Eker, uno dei top manager Koenigsegg. L’amministratore delegato della casa, Christian von Koenigsegg, si è invece dimostrato più possibilista su un buon esito dell’accordo, che potrebbe essere raggiunto anche entro la fine di ottobre.

Tuttavia, al di là di un ottimismo di facciata, la situazione è piuttosto complicata, perché pur avendo la benedizione del governo svedese, la manovra non piace alle banche coinvolte, che dichiarano di non disporre di sufficienti garanzie per il futuro di Saab. E che di conseguenza potrebbero mandare all’aria l’acquisizione.

SAAB CHIUDE PER SEMPRE

General Motors ha annunciato di aver interrotto le trattative con Spyker per la cessione di Saab. Allo stesso tempo, il gruppo automobilistico di Detroit ha affermato che provvederà alla chiusura progressiva di tutte le attività della Casa svedese, anche per far fronte agli impegni ancora in essere con i debitori. Nelle prossime ore, General Motors diramerà un comunicato con tutti i dettagli della decisione che porterà all’addio di Saab. Si chiude così, dopo quasi 73 anni di storia automobilistica, un capitolo importante per un costruttore che ha dato tanto all’automotive, in termini di progresso tecnologico. E la Saab 9-5, vista da tutti come il modello del rilancio della Casa di Throllattan, esce di scena prima ancora di aver debuttato ufficialmente sul mercato.

...e se GM chiude la SAAB...
...io non comprero' mai piu' un'auto di una azienda del gruppo GM.
