Saab Purchase Could Help Quant Make It To Production?

In February, Koenigsegg released a teaser of a new supercar. The Quant as it was called, later debuted at the Geneva International Auto Show in March. The Quant marked a new direction for Koenigsegg in many ways. It's styling was certainly a departure, as well as it's Grand Tourer nature. Perhaps the most important difference though was it's powertrain. Koenigsegg claimed a 312-mile range and 20 minute recharge time from a commercial grade power source. If true, they are amazing figures to be sure! I wondered how it was possible for Koenigsegg to bring the car to production.

Geneva 2009: Koenigsegg Quant Concept

Well, as expected, new pictures, details and information on the Quant concept has been released .

There it is, that's about all we know on the new supercar from Koenigsegg. Unique name too, "The Quant". Unlike some other releases we've seen, no details have surfaced in recent months regarding a new vehicle from the company. The design is menacing and hunkered down; it projects an strikingly modern look that represents a departure for the brand. I'm interesting in learning whether or not it's a production vehicle. I hope it is! Koenigsegg has other things in store for the Geneva Show as well, including a new infotainment system for it's current offering the CCX
