Carbon Fiber Construction - /INSIDE KOENIGSEGG

Episode 1 of 9, Carbon Fiber Construction
/INSIDE Koenigsegg looks behind the scenes at Koenigsegg Automotive, and explores how innovation at the highest echelon of sports car manufacturers will affect the broader automotive world. Company founder and principal, Christian Von Koenigsegg, hosts this series, which was produced at Koenigsegg headquarters in Angelholm, Sweden.
In the first episode, Christian Von Koenigsegg reveals the secrets behind building automotive components from carbon fiber, the strong, lightweight material that's crucial to modern high-performance cars.

[@3dgar7eandro]

This man really knows every single component of his car, and it's function, and also he literally created some new ones never seen on the market... What a legend 😎👏👏👏👏

[@chrisJordan-xb9wc]

and it all started with a business degree and his moms shed, its insane

[@TheBuduammo]

He is a legend...!!!

[@doodskie999]

Some say he is a mad car genius and sheds his own hair to reduce unsprung weight, others say he is as aerodynamic as his cars are. all we know is he's called Christian von Koenigsegg!

[@95TurboSol]

I used to scoff at the price of these cars but you really are paying for the technology and ridiculous hand made manufacturing process, really cool how much love they put into these!

[@draconpost]

+95TurboSol yeah, it's almost funny when one thinks of how useless and cheap manual labour is today but these cars couldn't exist without it

[@nancygordon2757]

+95TurboSol you really are paying for the technologies. Its why I would prefer that cheap fiber glass shell some regular old parts maybe a tuned out engine from local shop done in of those private garage by car replica's sculpture specialist who can perhaps to close match of replica. Oh did I say for only like maybe 1% of the real cost.

[@lejink]

You aren't just paying for the cost of the parts to make the car plus labor to assemble it, plus profit It takes years of development to design the car, it takes government testing to make it legal Imagine how much money it takes to have a team of engineers working for a couple years and flying them around the world for testing. Koenigsegg needs to get that money back.. And if they only make a few cars a year that means each car has to recoup a larger % of the expense of development

This has been my favorite car company for years. This car, is not only brilliant, the engineering, manufacturing process, the passion, is just absolutely amazing. Ferrari and Lambo, along with Pagani (which isn't really in the same class) are brilliant designers, fabricators and engineering companies, but Koenigsegg is just not only a remarkable company, but their cars are absolutely wonderful.. wonderful doesn't describe them.. more like Amazing, or Astounding. As an engineer, business owner and carbon fiber parts manufacturer, I can not only appreciate the amount of work that goes into one of these cars, this video just simply leaves my jaw dropped at the attention to detail and incredible engineering work that went into this car. Koenigsegg is my favorite car.. hopefully one of these days before I'm either dead, or too old to enjoy it, I can buy one. I work my ass off, keeping myself, my family and my employees fed and in homes, that's my primary concern. My goal, is to one day, ride in my own Koenigsegg. My absolute dream car. I started another company, working on patents and designs, and my goal is to make the company thrive and take the profits from it and hopefully buy one of these some day soon. Until then, I can simply just dream.

[@lukasn.3281]

Poppa Bear What I do not understand - how they make any money on these cars - I mean their production is VERY limited, production cost must be high as well - hell a company like VW is losing a lot of money on making their Bugatti Veyrons... (but the can pay it from profits of selling thousands of Golfs)

[@poppabear9279]

Lukas N. Yeah Lukas, I was thinking the same exact thing. I do carbon fiber manufacturing in small scale, and know how much time, cost and energy goes into the carbon fiber molding. The Bugati Veyron is highly expensive and I heard that VW was losing millions making each car. This company is either pinching pennies where they can, making their own molds, or has their costs down where they can. I built an original 1969 Z28 camaro, and even with the available parts, paying a shop to do some of the work, replacing everything with factory original steel and much cheaper parts, it still cost me about 20x what the car originally cost. Doing this in the modern era, with high labor costs, high material costs and out of carbon fiber... the owner of this company must have his act together, or, he's being funded outside as well. I'd still love to have this car more than just about anything else on the planet.. except maybe the new, 1-off, 200 million dollar lunar landing rover.:P It wouldn't be fast, but damn would it get looks. lol.

[@CoolStreamT]

As I understand for hollow parts (close contour or pipe like) you put a bag inside and pressurise it. (pump air in ) (vacuum cannot be used here) correct? For flat or open contour parts you use vacuum bagging to make parts. So, you remove the air from the bag applying atmospheric pressure to form the part. The question is How much air pressure (psi) do you use for hollow part making and what king of bag material do you use for bag? does it need to be made of rubber like bicycle tube?

There are a lot of companies that specialize in carbon fiber manufacturing. I am wondering if there is a benefit of not outsourcing the process to a larger facility? I can figure that the production time would be much shorter with the benefit of getting products made to the lowest bidder.

+Branden Bunny yeah I work with carbon fiber manufacturing company that does a lot of aerostructures for Lockheed Martin, Sikorsky and Boeing. literally aerospace grade stuff. there is no shame to outsourcing the work to another company that has been doing this type of work for 30+ years because most companies do it.

+Tristan Thilen do you think anyone cares that the plane you take is made by hundreds of manufacturers? it doesn't degrade the quality of the product. Those bolts, battery, and even carbon fiber material that koenigsegg uses are probably outsourced anyways. there is no such thing as 100% in house manufacturing for a consumer product.

[@monikerkinakin6943]

Obviously they don't care, because it's an airplane, they are trying to reduce costs and produce a good product quickly. Koenigsegg is not that type of company, they produce less than 20 cars a year. You may be a manufacturing engineer, but clearly you don't understand this concept.

+Sam Rad i finally found someone with the same opinion!!! The Egg is just a giant piece of carbonfibered garbage... Bad 0-60 times, bad tracktimes, low durability due to its small v8 and its absolutely not made for daily use. The only thing this car is good at is driving fast in straight line. But even 80 Year old Mercedes Silberpfeil cars could break the 400 kph border. The crappy Venom and the even more crappy tuned AMS alpha GTR are faster than the Egg... i dont understand all the retarded fanboys.

[@naufalsesyazhade2959]

+Sam R you're funny, dude... its because Koenigsegg make a car that limited edition, so thats why the car is hand-made not like ferrari, lambo, n mclaren that made for a thousand people, and also thats why they dont need a robotic system and another fancy automatic things in their making and assembling process... its so rare to find koenigsegg on the road...but we can easily find ferrari, lambo n mclaren, etc on the road, thats why koenigsegg is so special and very expensive too...

[@rrrrrr-fp6wn]

+Naufal Sesyazhade yes... a 1000 HP stockcar. Same aplies for The Egg. Only fast in straight line (but not even from 0-60mp/h). JDM is atleast cheap and its a great "tradition". But But buying JDM-cars covered with a carbonfibered-body and an fancy logo on the seats is just stupid. And there are supercars for daily usage. LaFerrari, Aventador, Veyron and p918 are comfortable, luxirouse and easy to handle. Guys who can afford one of this cars dont need space for lugage or 7 seats

[@naufalsesyazhade2959]

r34r33r32 r34r33r32 ok, i dont understand "but not even from 0-60mp/h", i pick Koenigsegg One:1, 0-100kmh in 2.9sc and 0-300kmh in 11.92sc (Venom GT is 13.63sc) is it not fast you think, dude ? and i guess its really good on handling too..koenigsegg One:1 weight is only 1360kg and has 1360 HP...its super lightweight...this car made for highest speed...and not proper for daily use, even Koenigsegg himself use Tesla for his daily car... yeah dude, even Koenigsegg is so amazing for me...JDM still the best for me... glad to know you like JDM too while we arguing on this..LOL and yes, same as koenigsegg... i guess supercars buyers doesnt think about 7seat and luggage...

He has a condition that prevents hair growth I believe.

[@ericzeck1]

no, if you listen closely, he says they use what's called "prepreg" carbon, short for preimpregnated. The carbon fiber fabric comes pre impregnated with the epoxy resin in the fabric. This makes the heat part of the process much more important (you could see them loading the parts into an autoclave in the video) because at room temperature, the resin is almost like a gel, needing heat to both "melt" it as well as cure it. This is not the only way to do it, but on a production scale, the best

Incredible learning experience. I thought I understood what they can do with the material, having had CF wheels on a road bike, etc. It is absolutely amazing that they can make some of the internal engine parts with CF. One would think that the heat or pressure would destroy the material, but it seems as through this 'black art' can overcome all of those issues. Bravo to the company and engineers that do this stuff.

[@925Phil]

I’m wondering why they manufacture the tube in to parts, especially as it’s designed to be pressurised. I don’t know how much pressure occurs in that tube, but the area where the two halves connect is the weak link, as only the resin is bearing the (tangential) load. Winding the tube would lead to better usage of the material which would again lead to a thinner wall, less material and less weight. Or am I missing something.?

The squadron motto was "mad ger styrka" - "food gives strength". I was there writing a story about a Volkswagen bus. They were testdriving a new car on the airstrip while we were shooting the bus Very special place this base I think it is a nice homage to the squad. They saw A LOT of russian duralaluminium over baltic sea :)

Carbon fiber is about 14$ a square foot depending on material. The costs of a hand made car like this is worth it. You cant stamp this out..you can see the quality...I'm impressed. I wished I lived that way and jobs like that were here. Canada doesn't have much for this and this is what I do. And I do it at this level .

This company is just so inspirational, and i as a german and proud of our automobilindustry can say that no german carmanufacturer can meet that high standards. (you should know even the Bugatti Veyron was developed by Volkswagen engineers)

He thoroughly explains things and is a great speaker. I bet he would make a really good teacher.

[@2JZUL8R14]

Can someone explain why they use carbon fiber for the Turbo piping but not the actual Turbo? If I'm correct, the gasses and pressure in the pipes are much hotter and higher than in the turbo itself. Unless the Turbine needs a more sturdy material for the housing, I think carbon fiber turbos should be a reality! (I'm not a turbo expert so don't hate if I sound stupid)

This man is pure genius. These cars are incredible. They are light years ahead of their competition. I just wish I could afford to have and drive one.

[@josephbohme7917]

How many dollars does it cost to drive per pound? I am told that here in CA I cannot drive even faster than 75 mph. There are no higher signs allowing me. SO where should I use the other 125 mph capacity. Is this in any way applicable to selling sheets to make a 30# scooter that will replace a Ducati Racer. using my phone batteries.

Thanks that was very informative. I have one question as a industrial design grad who is into transportation design department. Knowing how to use 3ds Max and Alias and solidworks too, if I model a car in Alias since it's Nurbs and quality surfacing for concept work development and simulation, I've been told that the project will then be moved into catia or any software engineers use to add thickness on the body parts I made in Alias to be ready for production like producing steel tooling for pressing.. so my question is, do I have to know Catia and other engineering advanced softwares? Or should I just stick to A class surfacing in Alias then they will handle the rest of the job?

how do the 2 parts/halves bond together wouldn't they just split apart again as there's no woven strands linking it all ?

[@andywright1634]

You have a beauty layer on the outside, that one half will overlap the other half inside, then subsequent layers inside overlap the joints to make uniform layers/strength. They are not just one layer each half.

Consider that 1 BAR is 14.5 psi, so with a vacuum bagged flat part that's what you get... if you want a closed contour part with comparable properties that's the minimum pressure. Having said that usually one takes advantage of the bag for much higher pressures, even 100psi or more. Bladders can be nylon bags, shaped latex or silicone, all sorts are used.

A brilliant star in the motor vehicle universe... thank you for devoting your efforts for the betterment of enthusiasts everywhere!

[@MuhammedhilmigulluBlogspot]

but can we make hard engine parts like cylinder with this material?

[@antonjaworski7731]

I could happily listen to Christian talk about his cars all day

[@Jeangtrd]

No autoclaving the prepreg? Wonder what system they are using

[@MrArcangel235]

Can anyone tell me what kind of machine they use after vacuuming the carbon fiber part? and how did they make it have a gloss appearance?

[@dmunene2000]

Autoclave

[@rourkeyliiid4769]

I wish all cars had this much thought and passion put in to them.

[@esecarboncompany7723]

Amazing commitment to excellence and has not slowed down since!
