According to Business Times, Naza is set to take up the distributorship of the Koenigsegg brand here in Malaysia and we could see the first units going on sale in February. Naza currently already holds distributorships of Ferrari and Maserati, so this will be the group’s third high performance brand. Koenigsegg is expected to be a very niche model in Malaysia, even more niche than the Ferrari or Maserati brands, especially the latter which is able to target buyers with a budget of about a million bucks and sway their purchase decision from a 750Li or a S500 to a Quattroporte. Koeniegseggs will be a completely different price tag altogether, with the CCX expected to go for over 3 million ringgit at least. More details to come when an official announcement is made.

well , if u can steal jet engines , rm3mil is noting !!
LOL speechless. Who buy shit like this ?
if u have the money, then u can buy it. Many rich people out there buy 2 or 3 of those
those with abundance of wealth…let me see…mm..the tycoon of this and that, aargh, especially the filthy rich politicians…ill gotten money to splash arrogantly around, sheesh.
shit….3 millions ringgit!!!!!
Huhhh… ?????
rumors are also going that NAZA will take up porsche dealership also.
the recent acquiring of brand distributorship seems to cement the fact that NAZA is gonna be one of the biggest distributor of supercars in malaysia.
hmmm….are you thinking what i am thinking?
this car is so elite, even more difficult to spell or pronounce than Fellali, Lembu Cina and Massa Larri.
Bet u the Cronnies have all already pre-ordered.
have anyone seen cronies ride a Wira or Kancil before? where is the patriotism goes when that is what they claimed before they become cronies?
lolz!!this is really a niche product!!
To Bobby,
the cars made by Koenigsegg is not shit la wei~~n u asked who would buy these??PEOPLE WITH MONEY LA!!!
if 3 millions rupiah then.. i will buy 10! haha
i used this car in NFS…so fast…so furious…
nice brand..will sell well,i guess..those rich wont mind to drop 'some' money for this car..aesthetic value??
bullet, in NFS shift XBOX360 oso have this car ka? if yes i will buy 1 hahaha
If you read Supercars by evo, this car is among the least recommended supercar to buy due to ultra-extraordinarily high maintainance cost, more than other supercars…
i always tot that Naza sons will live in their father shadow, unable to replicate what has been done by the father…
i think they pass the mark..they are writing their own history…stronger …
great job Children of Naza…u deserve the wealth you inheritted from your father…
no comment.. mcm mana nk sebut this shit?
this car is scary…so. NAZA…y dun u fellas bring down Mustangs or Camaro or Challenger or cars dat money can buy. Imagine u park ur 3mill quit 'rubbish can' at any car park, dun expect u will find no scratches or dents on it!!
Oh boy, i just remembered that i need to find a much higher paying job!
Felali la, mesalati la, lembo la, now keonigzeg la… here i am contemplating a kia forte!!
Koenigsegg, I don't have money to buy….
but
ConeyDog from A&W I got money to buy….sedap.
looks like all the supercars taken up, so what does nassim has to drive ? or the sons of naza?
Well probably they have to ride in a private helicopter like those in the american new york super duper rich ppl..
This is to outshow that i dont need to drive them, i fly with the heli…. then we will see in federal highway on top of a building there is a heli pad.
Jealous ka , cronies sell to cronies la cannot ah boleh ka !
what a ugly car…. got to be blind to buy this crap….
this country……i gave up on it. now naza is screwing us top to bottom. when we poor, we buy kia, naza owned. we become richer, we buy mercedes also naza owned. richer again, we buy ferrari, also naza owned. when we super rich, we buy koenigsiegg, also naza owned.
It is Sime Darby that is being "forced" to take the Porsche distributorship in 2010. An annoucement is expected soon.
Auto Eurokars has not been making money hence this development.
If one can afford a supercar, he/she likely can afford maintenance and other miscellaneous costs associated with it.
I remember The Stig almighty himself crashed this car for TopGear's powerlaps.
It's a very good thing this beast is a niche in the supercar market. If Stig can't handle this car, you think Malaysians can? =P
Well, who knows? Most Malaysian drove Myvis like an Exige.
well… as usual…. the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer..
anyways… such a nice car…. i can imagine lots of the rich(if they get one of this) dying from accidentally driving into a lamp post or a wall and so on… haha

just a matter of time Sharviin
this is faster car in the world.. wow.. how much price this car in Malaysian market?
later, zonda,bugatti,bristol,
den bring in Pagani Zonda as well
Looks like the next time i visiting a naza showroom at PJ, i dont need to go to any international motorshows anymore!
wow… lepas ni apa? official disto for Pagani?
I can tell you , ive seen a couple of old balding , skinny twigsss wearing huge glasses driving around in GT3 RSs, this car surely break their necks…
as usual the cronies will benefit while the rest of Msians drive shitty Proton cars……XDD, and the AP shit is more of corruption than anything. very dirty Government we have
Stupid damn expensive car for bumpy road in Malaysia
WOW, NAZA is slowly dominating automobile industry here….
What will happen to this brands IF NAZA " BANKCRUPT" one day…LOL
i think the crony2 will buy it.
yala 2 jet engine = rm 100 million.
1 car = rm 3 million
after being SUAP and no tax = around 2 And a half mil
sugar after 20 sen rise = rm 1.65
i thing they will buy any super car if they can sell any army goods,
the SUBMARINE of cause.
this is how to pronounce this car maker
"keonisseg" if not mistaken…
not so good looking…
Mclaren is the best supercar!
what next? are they gonna bring in pagani zondas or the vandenbrink carver?
also remember to bring in Saleen, Pagani and Ascari, ok?
i thought theres zonda on msia road?

Even Proton Saga become Potong Zaka……
sigh, wahahha
Naza monopolizing almost every bloody car brand in Malaysia. This isn't good for us consumers, right? Even the Bubba Gump franchise in M'sia also they get… Mana open tender ni?
with 3 million, i will buy 3 ferrari; 1 for myself, 1 for my wife, and 1 for my mother in law… at least people will think i am richer than the guy who buy only 1 Koenigsegg
pointless bringing this car here….corvette z06 is only 60 k pounds…in our money after tax is 1 mil ringgit [911 turbo 97k pounds, here after tax 1.35 mil,use ratio method]…cars like corvette or mustang are more affordable despite their huge engines
I remember Camaro is only built for left hand drive. Grey importer can bring it in for a few mil, but i bet they will be no demand of the car.
Do we have the road for this type of car , i mean car road and not those race circuit. I can hardly find a road that i can speed 210kph steadily. Our road is danger + all those uneven bumper in residential area + potholes + etc , I wonder how the car suspension react. This is just so crazy.
now waiting for bugatti….
Yeah. Even The Stig can't handle this beast.
Last weekend i saw Myvi Ezi did 180km/h++ i guess in PLUS h/way to JB, also dare to overtake new S-class. Suicide driver.
Poor buyers, they will drive this beast on bumpy road, even depan klcc pun bumpy! Cehh!
Paul, did u ever write about Amalgam Fine Collection? I bet u will like it
o-oh! rumours about cars usually end up with the truth! hahah, welcome swede!
it's pronounced KOH-NIG-SEGG.
who would buy this, seriously.
you can almost get 2 murcielago-s with 3 mil.
Driver must know how to control car before buying this
I bet Naza will be selling submarines and fighter jets soon
how does this make the rich richer and the poor poorer???
Naza brings in Koenigsegg… the rich buy it…. how does that affect you? how will it make the poor getting poorer???? no relation at all…. you guys just have bash everyone don't you?
well i know one way how it'll affect you… jealousy… you get jealous bcoz they can drive it and you can't…
I think the Koenigsegg is more exclusive/rarer than the Pagani Zonda, Naza should have brought in the latter first. Maybe American GTs like the new Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro should be on the list too.
And for the record, before this another super exclusive model that can be seen in the Naza showroom is the Maserati MC12.
i wont discuss any political motives here..it's just a business. susah kalau buruk sangka ni..semua mende nak kaitkan dgn politik..naza jual goreng pisang pon org kata kroni punye pasal. oh back to topic, it's a superb car..but still, ferrari is my choice. ferrari is a well known champ in f1..but koenigsegg?
saya ade duit lebih ni lepas letgo engine jet…kasi 2 itu kereta coney dog
looks futuristic…..but for RM 3 mil….arghhh……
*Monopoly, only happens in Malaysia
I don't think this car priced at 3mil.. it should be over RM5mil..
and, this car isn't shit or crap, it is once is the fastest production car in the world.
how much?? 3 millions!!??
ok bungkus 4, kasi kuah lebih sikit
Wow…my dream car…oppss…sorry…my fantasy car is gonna be distribute here?! Niceeee…well done NAZA for your business hunger and achievement so far (by conquering many distribution rights recently). Well, the rest of us just need to work like a mule now these years to come…
Weii NAZA…bawak ar Ford RS dari UK kat sini…recon pun recon lah!

Yes bro! This car even hold the highest speed fine ticket in the world if I'm not mistaken…I'll take this baby over Bugatti anytime…wait…darn…I'm not rich wat…shit…
This car after the normal tax of about 200% to 300% will cost more than RM6 mil. FYI, the currennt AP Holder of Pagini Zonda belongs to a certain CEO of an Investment Bank. Unless he gives it up, then only Naza can distribute the Zonda.
came on SSC Aero!!! came on Veyron!!!!
why monopoly? they ask for distributorship for konekseks, so if they can show to konekseks that they can deliver they get the distributorship?
ADA FAHAM?
With konekseks etc. it is always an open tender, to get a distributorship. A company (based in Malaysia) need to guarantee to the manufdacturer that they can
(1) sell xxx number of cars (if cannot have to pay to mfr)
(2) maintain an after sales service for the car.
If any company can satisfy (1) and (2) then you get distributorship.
And with distributorship you will get AP to bring the cars in.
all u kata keta ni x lawa lu all lawya ya….sapa ada duit pakai la xda duit tgk saja lah apa salahnya.keta ni lawa.
drgn86, open tender for distribution right? are you out of your mind? It's not like koenigsegg come to govt and ask them to find a distributor for them… Naza have to work their asses and prove to koenigsegg that they deserve to be a distributor… if you think you can do better job then go to koenigsegg and convince them your can be their distributor… duh….
this country is disgusting.
True, even I can't handle such speed in this thing during the powerlaps I did a few years back.
Jaybond,
Pagani Zonda is here for a number of years already. There was even an appointed dealer and Naza also displayed the blue unit in its PJ showroom for a while. Founder, Horacio Pagani paid a visit to KL a few years back.
As for Mustang and Camaro I think the Mustang at least is already here. There are rich enthusiasts who are buying these unique American muscle cars but they don't drive them around too much unfortunately.
Even the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV is already here. Someone bought a yellow example.
So the Koenigsegg is no biggie. At the very least we can be sure to see it in the flesh in the Naza showroom. The Koenigsegg is a seriously engineered performance car. Not to be scoffed at. I think Christian Koenigsegg was rumoured to be interested in buying over Saab some time back
hmmm, KANASai. cronnies get all the benefits. And please do not think this NAZA group did good by getting all this. It's just because they are cronnies that's why they get all this benefits. Just look at the 26-hectare parcel of land they got in the prime area near jalan duta in exchange for building some reportedly 689million building for the government. That parcel of land is worth billions lah. Damn it
i still fail to pronounce it…. hahahahhahahahha….
Naza again. They want to CKDed this car in Gurun? Please make it so and rebadge it to NAZA, sure price more attractive.
RM3 mil car is peanuts to those who earn tens of million easily. If you know what i mean.

why dont u say swede is disgusting? And also all countries with koenigsegg's ditributor are disgusting too..?
wow …. Koneigsegg coming to Malaysia ..
i know some people who will buy this car. They won't be driving this around town though. Too much attention. Probably drive around their private airstrip only. No chance for us to oogle this car on public roads.
am proud of this bumiputera company… next stop… Naza F1 team or some EPL teams.
the jealousy is darn strong in the comment…
soon they will sell bugatti veyron with a price tag of 13million hahahaa….
Well said,
den bring in Pagani Zonda as well
