Koenigsegg’s purchase of Saab hits snag?

It’s been a few months since we last reported on Koenigsegg’s purchase on Saab, thinking that it was a done deal at that point. Apparently, the sale recently hit a pretty stiff wall when reports coming from Sweden said that one key investor may have gotten wet feet regarding the impending purchase.

We don’t know who this key investor is, but apparently, this news is more than just trivial hearsay. Sweden’s state secretary for the country’s industry ministry, Joran Hagglund, said that his office is vehemently contacting Koenigsegg in an effort to get more information regarding the matter.

The situation has escalated to such a degree that all the parties involved, including Koenigsegg, Saab, and the Swedish government, have brought in their best PR people to douse the flames of what could become a monumental collapse of a deal that seemed to be in-the-books only a few months ago.
