Koenigsegg is proud of the fact that in Angelholm, Sweden, it produces the world's fastest car in the world's slowest car-building factory. The quality-over-quantity manufacturer builds its frankly mind-blowing motors in hangars formerly occupied by the fighter-jet squadron of the Swedish air force. That's convenient because final testing of the all-new Jesko "hypercar", which computer simulations indicate is capable of travelling in excess of 300mph, will take place on the adjacent runway.
