[[File:Koenigsegg side.jpg|thumb|The Koenigsegg CC prototype which became the basis for future models of the company]]

The initial design of the [[Koenigsegg CC|CC]] was penned down by Christian von Koenigsegg. Industrial designer David Crafoord realised the sketches as a 1:5 scale model. This model was later scaled up in order to create the base plug for the initial Koenigsegg prototype that was finished in 1996. During the next years, the prototype went through extensive testing and several new prototypes were built. The prototypes initially used an Audi V8 engine but after the engine supply contract fell through, the next candidate was the [[Flat-12 engine|Flat-12]] race engine developed by [[Motori Moderni]] for the [[Scuderia Coloni#Coloni-Subaru (1990)|Scuderia Coloni]] Formula one team, in which this engine was raced under the Subaru badge in the [[1990 Formula One World Championship|1990 season]]. These [[Subaru 1235]] engines were purchased and modified for use in the CC; this deal failed when the founder of Motori Moderni died, sending the company into bankruptcy.<ref>{{Citation|last=DRIVETRIBE|title=How Koenigsegg nearly used a Subaru F1 engine in its supercars|date=26 June 2019|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM_-u209ybs| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/tM_-u209ybs| archive-date=11 December 2021 | url-status=live|access-date=27 June 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=AMA1 With CvK – Early Years and Process |url=https://www.koenigsegg.com/ama1-with-cvk-early-years-and-process/ |website=Koenigsegg |access-date=1 July 2019 |date=10 August 2015 |archive-date=10 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200810192822/https://www.koenigsegg.com/ama1-with-cvk-early-years-and-process/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Koenigsegg developed its own engine based on the Ford Modular architecture in 2012. It later developed its own engines from scratch, including control systems and transmissions, which is very unusual for a small size sports car producer.<ref name="RNTrack">{{cite news |last1=Tatarevic |first1=Bozi |title=How Koenigsegg Made a Better Ford V-8 |url=https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a26339473/koenigsegg-ford-v-8/ |access-date=4 May 2022 |publisher=Road and Track |date=14 February 2019 |archive-date=31 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220831022814/https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a26339473/koenigsegg-ford-v-8/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
