Why Did Christian von Koenigsegg Start His Car Company at 22?

David Senra says Christian von Koenigsegg started his car company at 22, with no experience. Koenigsegg dates the decision to 12 August 1994. He said he was going to build the car, and that it was a challenge big enough for a lifetime. Profiles of the company describe it as the work of a 22-year-old with no background in the automotive industry, no engineering experience, no manufacturing background, and limited funding, driven by a lifelong ambition to make the greatest supercar in the world.

He wanted to build cars. He expected it to take a very long time before he succeeded, but he was young and had no obligations. If he did not do it then, he thought he never would.
