A part of Eker history
The Eker history also involves a very exciting car adventure that began in the early 2000s when Bard Eker joined forces with Christian von Koenigsegg, the founder of Koenigsegg Automotive AB and his fantastic team. Eker brought his expertise in design, engineering, and manufacturing to the table, creating a synergy that would lead to the development of the groundbreaking model series CCX.
A Hypercar
Introduced in 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show, this model pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible in the automotive world. It became a hypercar!
As a memory from this period, we still have in our possession two historical cars – #7063 and the official test car #7031.
