The Koenigsegg Jesko and Regera are
the two hypercars currently making up the Swedish automaker’s family of models.
According to company founder Christian von Koenigsegg, a more affordable hybrid
supercar is also being developed. While the Swedish brand’s range is expected
to stop there, designer Riccardo Angelini has imagined what the next hypercar
from Koenigsegg could look like.
Dubbed the 81st Ghost, the vehicle was
created as part of the ongoing Koenigsegg Sketch Challenge, an ongoing
initiative launched by new Koenigsegg design boss Sasha Selipanov that has
invited designers around the world to create their dream hypercars.
Angelini isn’t an online designer who
spends all his time creating weird and wacky creations. In fact, he is actually
the lead exterior designer at Tata Motors and somehow found the time in his
schedule to create the 81st Ghost. The hypercar borrows some design cues from
previous Koenigsegg models but for the most part is totally unique.
Perhaps the most obvious Koenigsegg
design element of the car is the familiar cabin design made up of a
double-bubble roof and a wraparound windscreen. The front also features bulging
wheel arches and thin LED headlights. Looking at the sides of the hypercar it’s
impossible not to notice the huge air tunnels that send air through the rear to
increase downforce.
Speaking of the rear, it is dominated
by a towering wing that doubles as a diffuser and includes LED taillights on
the surrounds. There’s no way a car looking like this could be sold for the
street but as a track-day special, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
