Koenigsegg Gemera is now entering production.

For me, this is more than just another hypercar. It’s part of a journey I’ve followed closely for many years – both as a photographer and as a motoring journalist.

The article builds on an interview and photoshoot from 2020, which I’ve now revisited and reworked with additional images and a more complete perspective. It captures a moment in time, but also a development that is now moving into a new phase.

It’s this combination of engineering, ambition and storytelling that makes Koenigsegg so fascinating to follow.

Volvo ECC – a future vision I experienced together with my father

In the early 1990s, Volvo presented the Environmental Concept Car, a concept vehicle that at the time felt like pure science fiction and would later influence the design of the Volvo S80.

As a teenager, I had the opportunity to follow my father, Bengt Ason Holm, behind the scenes while he was shooting the car for international press material. I even got to borrow one of his cameras and take a few photos myself.

Now, many years later, I revisit the story of the Volvo ECC, the vision behind the car, and my own journey into the world of automotive photography.

This is a car built to be playful, potent and engaging, and those qualities simply don't come into their own when the surface consists of shiny ice, snowy mud and winter roads. Of course, it is possible to...

Modena Design Modena Design is a fundamental part of Pagani's DNA. A name that doesn't always appear on the surface, but in practice is behind every machined detail, every control and every mechanical component in cars like the Pagani Zonda, Huayra and Pagani Utopia.
