      Yes. I really like how open and friendly Königsegg are about how they do things, videos like this and for example the ones where Christian explains and shows their free-avalve tech, how they did the Regera hybrid "clutch" and more. I know that unless there is a substantial lotto winning in my future I'm unlikely to ever own a Königsegg, but getting to learn about them is very cool.

      Koenigsegg has been doing this since the start i guess. I mean just watch Drive series about Agera's production. And also Koenigsegg has the How to made series episode as well. But so does Bugatti with their Veyron though.

      side by side ide say Hennessy is an engine manufacturer in comparison to christian being a car maker. hennesys cars never perform very well on track compared to Christians cars. compared to standard road cars sure Hennessys cars are in another league and will douse any commuter street car on a circut. but pitted up against a agera RS or 1:one he makes the venom and his new f5 or whatever its called look like a glorified drag car.
      Edit: this is my opinion btw so i hope im wrong and Hennessy really makes an incredible car this time, the Venom GT was a little underwhelming

      Except one major difference ....... Elon Musk ambitions are in space and futuristic and Christian von K.'s are just very little and historical and he is just interested in selling his small fleet of cars to billionaires with no practical sense !
      Cristian is not the hero of future and certainly not of common people but just love the name and fame and money !

The smaller downward-angled canards on the Typhoon are articulated and act as pitch control surfaces along with the elevons.

    Xlnt video around the factory. Simply amazed at the intense efforts and passion going into building each car - and the experience delivering proven performance. Time to switch from yesterday’s bulls and horses to the Swedish pedigree.

      Hennessy is a crook from way back - approaching 20 years. Takes customer cars apart and cannibalizes them for project/magazine/tv vehicles. Then, marks them up to celebrities for exposure. Rinse and repeat. How, he stays in business is amazing.

    ... a couple of months ago on Shmee's and MrJWW's channels. Their videos were of equal quality and equally detailed. Why do Top Gear need two months to edit their video?

      @@Spazik86 There's no difference in quality between this and those. Go check 'em out (you'll have to scroll down a long way to find the Koenigsegg videos though, it was a long time ago). Remember, *this* isn't Top Gear TV we're watching here.

      @MarcCoteMusic 5 років тому +6

      It likely doesn't take very long to edit the videos. I suspect it's more a matter of scheduling uploads so the Top Gear stuff doesn't get lost in the flood of videos that tend to come out within a day or so of each other, sometimes within an hour or so. So the subject of the video isn't new... but at least they aren't competing with a dozen or two others.
      As for Spazik86's comment, the JWW video, at least, is certainly of broadcast quality. There's nothing in this Top Gear video that surpasses that one. Also, as stated by Vee Macks, this is for the Top Gear 'magazine', not the TV show.

      Hell, even their FIRST production car (the CC8S) already went almost 400 km/h (384, to be more precise), on a highway in Texas in the early 2000s, I think. And it's still the highest speed that's even been reached on the highway. How IMPRESSIVE is that?
