Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg is reportedly developing a four-door, 700hp exotic capable of surpassing 200mph.  Perfect for a weekend family outing if you ask us. The four-door, V8 Koenigsegg concept is expected to debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010, with sales starting in 2011.  Large allocations are planned for the U.S. and the Middle East, the latter of which fronted a substantial amount of the car’s development costs. Pricing is expected to top its future four-door rivals, the upcoming Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide, which will both come in in the sub-$300k range.  However, the four-door Koenigsegg will likely cost less than Koenigsegg’s carbon-fiber tw-door CCX, which carries a base MSRP of $540,000.
