Koenigsegg to buy Saab
This is a kind of odd one, but the Swedish press is reporting that Koenigsegg is in the bidding to buy Saab. Which would be really interesting, keeping the party Scandinavian. However, I would be kind of impressed if a boutique supercar maker (which cant be doing that well right now) has the money to put up to buy a much larger car company.
For those not familiar with it, Koenigsegg is the crazy Swedish company which is based on an old military airstip, buids its supecards in coverted hangars, and then flies buyers in on private jets (well, clients take their own jets). Their cars have set all kinds of records, including (I think) briefly holding the speed record before the Veyron showed up (and then all the crazy stuff that came after, like the SSC).
Koenigsegg builds things like this:
And this (which is actually "green" in that it runs on biofuels:
I can only imagine what it would do to one of these...
Lets all hope that Saab is bought by Koniggssessggsessgs - and we get to see Saabs that have some sport put back in them. Maybe even a factory tuner model, or two?
