    Christian has to be one of the most humble genius's ever to have graced us on this planet. He is excited to show you EVERYTHING and talks to everyone as if they're walking around a stock 55 Chevy 2 door post! What an absolute gentleman. He builds my favorite vehicle, not that I'd ever be able to afford one, but it is still my favorite. This is so well done, and so flipping cool!!! Thank you both!

It is a shame that Koenigsegg is not working on a super efficient standard road car. Imagine a carbon fibre monocoque four seater that has a top speed of 80miles an hour and gets 100 miles per gallon?
      Electric cars still have the issue of extremely heavy and environmentally harmful batteries. The production capabilities and techniques are already so efficient for combustion engines that they can produce them way more efficient than any electric car.
      Perhaps you were talking about hydrogen powered cars? They are still combustion powered I guess...

    Those mind blowing moments when Christian explains that ( very small compared to others ) gearbox and tells you:
    " we are not shifting gears, we are clutching" and the scary thing is that he not only explains it very well,
    he and his engineers have invented that stuff and actually make it work ! That man is a genius not only because of the tech he invents,
    but to create a car company around it that is actually profitable and gives jobs to hundreds of people.
    And while he talks, you can always feel that excitement, that joy. He lives and breathes Koenigsegg, every single day.

      They plan on using AI to maximize the parameters of free valve...for all fuels. As you probably know, but for the sake of other readers: this valve train doesn't require a conventional throttle and can switch from 2 stroke aspiration...to four stroke miller cycle within milliseconds. With AI pushing boundaries, we may discover fueling and timing parameters that would have taken years of research, solved in very little time.

      I'd LOVE to have access to their knowledgebase and engineering might to create cars that may not be 5-figure but low 6-figure and still bring similar excellence to cars people would drive to work and across Europe.
      Imagine these guys getting serious about a car to bitch slap a stationwagon such an E62, Panamera Turbo S, etc.
      Decent composite frame, Gemera like drivetrain with perhaps 2 inline torque converters, or one TV plus a 3spd gearbox that helps the electric drivetrain run cool. If the base level is €200-300K rather than all optioned out, a lot can be done and plenty would be sold. Even a "bland" all-electric Koenigsegg super-Volvo V90 would absolutely be bought in numbers.

    Christian is great at explaining complicated engineering while being engaging & digestible so you can understand what he saying.
    The 9 speed lights peed gearbox needs to be licensed to be used in motorsport. It would be incredible in F1, WEC, GT3, WRC...
    The Gamera rear has the look of Porsche 918 with rear high mounted exhausts.
    Only think not keen in is the Jesko Attack name it does not have the same flow as Jesko Absolute. Jesko Chrono I feel sounds better and has similar reference to achieving maximum track laptime.
    Just need a big lottery win and 2 build slots for a Gamera & Jesko Absolute 😎🤞

    Out of all the sports/ exotic/ supper car manufacturers, I have always enjoyed seeing footage from Koenigsegg the most. There's this, oh so something very special, very laid back, casual, but professional feel that I get from seeing videos about the Koenigsegg factory.
    Then seeing the car being made. That has always fascinated me. Especially knowing they are fully made out of carbon fiber.
    I would love to have a Koenigsegg, and it not even painted any color. Just a mat clear over the carbon fiber.
