One of his innovations was called the Chip Player. He believed that one day, computer memory chips would be able to store an entire CD’s worth of data and that it would probably be a cheaper way to buy and store music. He conducted some patent searches for a musical device that would play chips instead of discs. In the end, however, no one seemed interested in the idea, so Christian moved on. [4]

In 1991 he invented a new solution for joining floor planks together without adhesive or nails. He called it Click, as the profile enabled the planks to simply click together. Christian presented this technology to his father-in-law, who ran a flooring factory at the time. He rejected the idea, saying that if it was viable someone would have come up with it a long time ago. Christian then showed the concept to a few other floor manufacturers who also dismissed it. In 1995 a Belgian and Swedish company patented virtually the same solution as Christian’s Click floor.[5]

Most of the patents that Koenigsegg hold today are Christian’s brainchild, such as the ‘Rocket’ Catalytic Converter and the Supercharger Response/Relief system. Another novel idea of Koenigsegg's is triplex suspension. Basically, it is a rear suspension system used in current Koenigsegg models that allows for maximum comfort, and straight-line speed. It uses a transversely-mounted shock-absorber that connects the two rear wheels, as well as independent suspension systems for each wheel.[6] Another innovation that the company is notable for is free valve technology. This is a technology that uses electronics and air-pressure, instead of the traditional camshaft technology for their cars,allowing for engines to be much more efficient by reducing weight and size of engines, while making each cylinder able to be controlled interdependently, allowing for more complete combustion. Although it is still in research in development phase, it is a very promising concept.[7]
