The main organiser behind Aurora is the car sales company Motikon and Filip Larsson, based in Uppsala. Motikon is relatively new but has really put itself on the map with its unique and exclusive cars it sells. So taking the step to an exclusive car show really feels right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1356-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1356-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1356-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1356-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1356-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1356-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1356-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1356-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1356.jpg 1708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of the main exhibitors, Koenigsegg itself was there. Koenigsegg is actually located just a stone's throw from the botanical garden at Norrviken with its factory in \u00c4ngelholm. Christian von Koenigsegg himself and his wife Haldora were also present. Koenigsegg showed off a number of cars, including the Jesko Absolut that recently broke the world record for 0-400-0 in the breathtaking time of 27.83 seconds. In addition, a new \"one-off\" model was presented on Sunday. A Koenigsegg Chimera which is a special model built for Formula 1 General and FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem. However, I was only there on Friday and Saturday so missed the Chimera. However, I got a nice picture of the von Koenigsegg couple in the CC850 they had with them. The day in honour was also Haldora's birthday and got a \"Yes, may she live\" sung to her by the guests and exhibitors. I also had a nice chat with Christian where I had to complain a bit that I had lost contact with Koenigsegg after all the negative things I unfortunately experienced that started with my motorcycle accident in August 2022. When I mentioned that I would like to get back in touch with them, Christian filled in that I obviously had a place after everything I did for them and that it started so early. My first visit to Koenigsegg was back in 2009 when I was down with Martin Westerstrand photographing a CCR for Slitz magazine. Now, I'm not going to bring up this article to talk about my relationship with Koenigsegg, but of course the Auroara car show. But it was nice to share a few words with Christian and hear him say what he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2-1024x683.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"246603\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1368-2.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1-1024x683.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"246604\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2547-1.jpg 1856w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1-1024x683.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"246606\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1440-1.jpg 1856w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2-1024x683.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"246605\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/S4A1466-2.jpg 1890w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Christian and Koenigsegg, there were of course many others on site. One of the main sponsors of Aurora was BMW. BMW had brought a lot of cars that they showed. In addition, BMW also took the opportunity to have a Swedish premiere and show the new concept and platform Neue Klasse. They did this by showing two models. The sedan version and an X model. Kai Langer is the chief designer for BMW and presented the two models and told about them. The key for the Neue Klasse is that it will bring together the heritage of BMW and several models says Kai Langer. The first model of the Neue Klasse will arrive as early as 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2681-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"968\" data-id=\"246599\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2681-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2681-2.jpg 544w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2681-2-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2681-2-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2681-2-200x356.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2558-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"477\" height=\"849\" data-id=\"246598\" src=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2558-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2558-1.jpg 477w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2558-1-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2558-1-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/carscollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2558-1-200x356.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Daytona Automobile from V\u00e4ster\u00e5s had also brought a lot of cars.

People's interest in exclusive cars is really high, the festival proves that one hundred per cent! I really recommend Aurora if, like me, you have a great interest in cars. After this year's success, I feel pretty sure that Aurora will return next year. At least I will plan to be there all weekend so I don't miss anything.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En bilm\u00e4ssa ut\u00f6ver det normala, och dessutom i Sverige!
