Christian von Koenigsegg got the idea to build his own car after watching the Norwegian stop-motion animated movie ''[[The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix]]'' in his youth.<ref name="Nettavisen1">{{cite news |first=Jon Einar |last=Kolberg |url=http://www.nettavisen.no/bil/article515400.ece |title=Superbilen Koenigsegg blir norsk |trans-title=Supercar Koenigsegg becomes Norwegian |publisher=Nettavisen.no |language=no |date=16 December 2005 |access-date=16 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120225345/http://www.nettavisen.no/bil/article515400.ece |archive-date=20 November 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> At 22 years old, Koenigsegg gathered {{currency|60 million|SEK}} from investors and founded Koenigsegg Automotive in 1994.<ref name="Phyron 2022">{{cite web | title=A CRAZY CHILDHOOD DREAM COME TRUE | website=Phyron | date=9 June 2022 | url=https://www.phyron.com/insights/a-crazy-childhood-dream-come-true | access-date=10 May 2023 | archive-date=3 July 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230703010041/https://www.phyron.com/insights/a-crazy-childhood-dream-come-true | url-status=live }}</ref>

Initially, Koenigsegg Automotive was based in [[Olofström]]. In the early 2000s, the company moved to Ängelholm.<ref name="Bilsport">{{cite web | title=BILSPORT – för dig som älskar bilar med attityd | website=Bilsport | url=https://www.bilsport.se/artikel/koenigsegg-storsatsar | language=sv | access-date=9 May 2023 | archive-date=9 May 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509092443/https://www.bilsport.se/artikel/koenigsegg-storsatsar | url-status=live }}</ref> On 22 February 2003, one of the production facilities caught fire and was badly damaged.<ref name="auto motor & sport 2003">{{cite web | title=Brand totalförstörde Koenigseggs bilfabrik | website=auto motor & sport | date=25 February 2003 | url=https://www.mestmotor.se/automotorsport/artiklar/nyheter/20030225/brand-totalforstorde-koenigseggs-bilfabrik/ | language=sv | access-date=9 May 2023 | archive-date=9 May 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509092443/https://www.mestmotor.se/automotorsport/artiklar/nyheter/20030225/brand-totalforstorde-koenigseggs-bilfabrik/ | url-status=live }}</ref> Koenigsegg then acquired an abandoned air field to use as his new factory building and in late 2003, one of the two large fighter-jet hangars and an office building were converted into a car factory. Since then, the company is located near the still-active Ängelholm airport. Koenigsegg controls and uses the former military runway for shakedown runs of production cars and high-speed testing.<ref name="Okulski 2014">{{cite web | last=Okulski | first=Travis | title=Take A Tour Of The Hangar Where Koenigsegg Builds Amazing Cars | website=Jalopnik | date=13 March 2014 | url=https://jalopnik.com/take-a-tour-of-the-hangar-where-koenigsegg-builds-amazi-1540667584 | access-date=9 May 2023 | archive-date=9 May 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509092442/https://jalopnik.com/take-a-tour-of-the-hangar-where-koenigsegg-builds-amazi-1540667584 | url-status=live }}</ref>

In July 2023 Koenigsegg opened a newly built factory, close to the old factory building in Ängeholm, doubling the production capacity.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://teknikensvarld.expressen.se/nyheter/bilbranschen/i-dag-oppnar-koenigsegg-sin-nya-fabrik/ |title=I dag öppnar Koenigsegg sin nya fabrik |trans-title=Today Koenigsegg opens its new factory |first=Sanne |last=Hansen |work=Teknikens Värld |location=Sweden |language=Swedish |date=7 July 2023 |access-date=7 April 2024}}</ref>
