It uses a bio-fuel engine, which can produce 782lb ft of torque as well as its 1004bhp.

Its skin is made from a unique new material produced in-house by the Koenigsegg engineers. The body panels are carbonfibre, which are then coated in a diamond finish to give the car a sparkling effect. The firm calls it the Koenigsegg Shimmering Diamond Weave.

Other exclusive features include a double carbon wing, paddle-shift ‘box, a new sports exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes with ABS, a hydraulic lifting system and a chrono instrument cluster.

No prices have been announced by Koenigsegg.
