Lorbek Luxury Cars will be the Australian and New Zealand retailer for Swedish hypercar maker Koenigsegg.
Australasian customers will be able to purchase the full range of the rare Koenigsegg vehicles including Regera, Agera RS and One:1 from the Port Melbourne showroom in Victoria.
Lorbek’s partnership with Koenigsegg will compete against factory supported retailer Zagame, with newly announced Pagani, Ferrari Australasia, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Lamborghini, Maserati and McLaren franchises, in Richmond.
Cars will be sold in right-hand drive, with a 400km/h, 1100kW and 2000Nm Regera currently undergoing Australian compliance engineering.
Koenigsegg marketing will be handled by Prodigy Automotive based in Brisbane as part of a deal that has dealership managing director Srecko Lorbek very excited to see the exotic, expensive brand’s presence enter the Oceanic market.
“This is a very exciting thing,” Lorbek says, “The first delivery will be an ordered Regera and that’ll arrive in 2020 because they take that long to build.”
“We’re hoping to have a car flown in here for about eight weeks on display,” he adds.

“They only make 120 cars per year, so they’re very low volume, and there’s a new model coming out, which once it’s out we’ll have more information on too.”
In 2017 the Agera RS posted a confirmed two-way average top speed of 447.19 km/h in Nevada in the US, followed by a highest single-direction speed of 457.94 km/h – all conducted on a closed public highway.
Koenigsegg is a leader in vehicle technology and development and was created by Christian von Koenigsegg in 1994. It’s first production car, the CC8S, had the world’s most powerful production engine at the time in 2002.
In 2005, the Koenigsegg CCR achieved the highest production car speed record, beating the McLaren F1.
